Yeah, I *think* that's where it gets me, with the bondage, domination and humiliation.Just my opinion of course, but I think the cuckolding fetish is really more a subset of a humiliation/submission fetish, and when it involves the use of a MC device to enhance the experience it also incorporates aspects of BDSM.
I can pinpoint a moment in time, when I was too young to understand much about sexuality...a scene on a [childrens(?)] TV show* that is burned into my memory, 'imprinted' as you say...but the question that nags me is: whether this stimulus was responsible, or were there other factors involved and the particular stimulus was merely a trigger that brought it all together.There may be genetic components, but I think it's more likely these things are more a matter of some sort of stimulatory imprint that occurs at a critical time in a person's development...of course, a propensity to imprint sexual behaviors is genetic, and provides survival advantages for our species.
*(Ostensibly a childrens show, but like many others it contained elements that would appeal to adults, and themes that only an adult would recognize/understand.)
