I read somewhere that kinks can develop from fears, or vice versa..

This is true for me with hypno.. Internet, are there any others you have?? And, can you explain this..?
(If this is already an existing thread, tell me & I will delete..)

Infantilism due the fear of growing up I guess :P

TMI? : And general furry liking due the childhood feeling of not belonging among "normal" humans because of my social awkwardness.

when i was a kid, feet made me uncomfortable.

Kinks that I fear include any sort of abnormal penetration, like ear/navel/nipple. As well as hypnosis. I wouldn't particularly call it a fear but it's definitely a distinct discomfort different from other kinks I say I don't like. Especially with abnormal penetration, reminds me of parasites and things-under-the-skin.

Kinks I have stemmed from fears is definitely knife/bloodplay and hard vore lol. I'm super squeamish irl but seeing fictional characters getting freaky with knives is fun for some reason. Who knows.

Kinks that scare me are scat, gore, vore and rape.

Kinks that stemmed from fear idk about, I'm pretty young and haven't discovered myself too well.

This was touched on in the comments of this gore pic post #3738923 (would recommend blacklisting "gore" and "mutilation" if you don't want to see the actual pic)

I also have a hypno kink and a fear of IRL hypno, but for me the kink came before the fear. I was drawn to hyp stuff as an adolescent, then learning about how dangerous IRL hyp can be as an adult gave me a fear.

I'm a very anxious person, so hypnotism is kinda like a dream and a nightmare. Imagine releasing all the fears and stress that you harbor every second of every day. Someone else is helming your memories, actions, and reality, so you don't have to be responsible for yourself. You can just be carefree. BUT ALSO the whole point of having fear/anxiety is to protect you from dangerous shit! And hypnotism leaves you totally vulnerable, which is super dangerous! If the tist is antagonist or uneducated, they can significantly harm you!!!

But this "releasing anxiety through submission" is a throughline for basically all BDSM, so there's no reason specifically for hypnosis to excite me specifically.
Part of me wants to say that I was raped by a hypnotist as a kid and just suppressed the memory, and that would explain why I'm a gay, mentally ill hypnofur. But logically, the universe is large and random, and not everything has an easy answer or one-to-one correlation. It's probably just that my brain is weird, whether through nature or nurture who knows.

I don't if I'd call it fear exactly, or at least not a fear for myself, but rape/slavery horrify me (a real hot take I'm sure). I mean I'm a true-blue, red, white, and blue blooded, anti-slavery yankee so they go against everything I stand for... but goddamn do pics like post #1580814 and post #4715286 and the idea of having a pleasure slave or hell, a whole damn harem to do whatever I please with get my dick rock hard.
And tamara_fox too, I love the art, the aesthetics of the setting, and the character herself but the stories under a lot of her pics are fucking gut-wrenching to me.
I'm not usually one to be ashamed of my kinks but fuck me, that post-nut clarity hits like a brick through a window.
