性少数: 4.
恋物癖者 |
|
正如我们已经了解的那样，恋物癖（fetishism）是一个程度不同的问题，而且可能涉及的物品种类是如此之多，以至于实际上数不胜数。反过来说，这就意味着单一的大型恋物癖活动不可能把所有的恋物癖者（fetishist）集中起来。不过，一些恋皮革、橡胶和乳胶癖好者，以及迷恋数种物品者，已经找到了足够的人数组织在一起，组成了性少数群体，有了他们自己的酒吧和会所，也有地方、地区和全国范围的组织机构，出版了自己的时事通讯，建立起了自己的网站，开办了特殊需要的商店和召集国际性集会。因而，他们正在形成自己的亚文化，一些亚文化会通过发布广告和营造时尚的生活方式来影响普通大众的兴趣爱好。
典型的恋皮革集会广告
在许多西方国家，恋皮革癖者的聚会可以在地方、全国和国际层面进行组织。这些聚会可能要么有异性恋参与者，要么有同性恋参与者，要么两者都有参与。(为了避免被轻易识破，广告中这些场所的名称及其它细节内容已经有所改变，但是其活动的内容则确定无疑。) |

Sexual Minorities: 4. Fetishists
|
|
As we have seen, fetishism is a matter of degree, and the range of its possible objects is so wide as to be practically limitless. This means, conversely, that it impossible to gather all fetishists in a single, large movement. Nevertheless, some leather, rubber, and latex fetishists, as well as several others, have found themselves to be numerous enough to organize as sexual minorities with their own bars and clubs, local, regional, and national organizations, newsletters, web sites, specialty shops, and international conferences. Thus, they are forming subcultures of their own which, in some cases, influence the tastes of the general public by setting trends in advertising and in the world of fashion.
Typical advertisement of a leather fetish conference
In many Western countries, meetings of leather fetishists are organized on the local, national, and international level. They may involve either heterosexual or homosexual participants, or both (In order to avoid easy identification, the design, name, and other details in this ad have been changed. However, the content is authentic.) |
