TF Psychoanalytic Discussion

@Peanutt_Buta It's all good since there's no right or wrong with fetishes, just preferences. While I think reversion can be cool, I believe it stops being sexual. You can tell a great story with a shapeshifter character; one of my favorite YA books was Dragon of the Lost Sea which involved a shapeshifting dragon princess and an orphaned boy. In no way is reversion a lame subject; it just sets a different tempo. But I do have the same taste in regard to preservation of the mind. Maintaining their original identity is best, corruption can be fun or interesting if drawn out and done very well, but loss of sentience is really just quite sad. It's very much like getting attached and aroused by a character only to have the artist/author kill them suddenly at the very end.

@brandy gang While it's always a fun theme of having the character deal with the reaction of others, it just strikes me as awkward if the other characters actually want to be changed into the same thing. It's really immersion-breaking imo. "Oh you're a demon-girl now? That's hot. Make me one, too." Or a typical theme is a couple willing to change into animals to experience sex in a different way; it's just very odd trying to justify the rationale behind it, especially if the piece is trying to tell a story.
