    I get that for most people it’s not sexual. But for the people who is is, it’s pretty weird/uncomfortable to wear your fetish gear in public.

      There’s all sorts of things that the majority of folks don’t sexualize that some people do. Are you going to get upset about someone wearing knee high socks in public just because it is a fetish for some people?

        I think its worth noting that this could be happening right now. Anyone wearing sandels might be subject to someone finding their feet attractive! The horror! :) As a side note, lots of people wear clothing that’s revealing but most of us aren’t up in arms because someone is revealing part of their cleavage. I’m specificlly refering to people wearing pants down around their bum. With there ass cleavage hanging out :)

        I would think it’s weird for the people who fetishize knee high socks to wear them in public. So I don’t think it’s necessary bad for anyone to wear furry stuff, but it is if they get off to it.

          What makes you think someone who has a knee high sock fetish is incapable of wearing knee high socks without getting off to it in public?

            I don’t think they’re incapable, just impolite. Like I’m sure someone could wear a butt plug out and about without feeling stimulated. But I think it’d still be impolite. Maybe the best comparison I can think of would be maid outfits. I don’t think it’d be good to wear them out and about if you have a fetish for them, even if you aren’t aroused at the moment.
