A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If Adams Apples are primarily male, why aren't they a common fetish? (lemmy.ca)

They're a secondary sexual characteristic, so it seems like something that would get attention.

Why do you think anything primarily male would be a fetish?

Prostate cancer, you’re next

Wait, is prostate cancer the next fetish, or you’re wishing me to be the next prostate cancer patient?

There is a super depressing story of a YouTuber named Leathersmokemi who died engaging in a similar fetish. Nick Crowley did a good video on him. I don't know of a fetish centered on prostate cancer specifically but there are cancer fetishists and the fetish centered on terminal illness is called nosaphillia so it's certainly possible that there are fetishists already out there focused on prostate cancer specifically.

That's horrifying.

There are also people who eat themselves to death for other people, like that avocado guy, and it's just awful to know about.

Or maybe you getting prostate cancer is his fetish.

I mean, prostate cancer not so much, but prostate milking is a thing...

Prostate stimulation is sexy not because of the prostate itself but because it is incredibly sensitive and pleasuring when stimulated, which in turn is of course sexy for those who like to please their partner and are maybe also into butt stuff.

It's probably because a huger number of prominent secondary sexual sex characteristics get fetishized.

A brief search seems to show that it's an attractive quality like masculine forearms, and has a degree of fetish amongst the strangulation fetish community.
