Has anyone contemplated the common phenomenon which is pregnancy fetishists and their distaste for children?

Most studies prove fetishes (of all varieties) are typically formed between the ages of 2 and 6. My theory is, the attraction, or general interest, to the physical form is made before the mind fully comprehends what is occurring. A 2-6 year old isn't aware or understands the link between pregnancy and plopping out a new human. More often the 2-6 year old just thinks, "Big bellies are vibing, man." And that resurges in adolescents under a modicum of shame.

I'm sure this is a thread, but I'm interested in hearing your theories on why its quite common for pregnancy fetishists to not want kids.

The age 2 to 6 thing makes sense to me a bit, my mom had two more kids between those ages. Though, I do want kids but that drive is totally separate from the pregnancy fetish. I was conflicted for a bit but came to embrace both sides.

As far as I can remember I’ve never wanted kids. Even before I got bitten by the fetish bug I had no interest in becoming a dad. There is certainly a significant segment of folks who bring their lack of interest in raising children to the fetish.

The irony is the fetish has made me fantasize about getting a woman pregnant which creates a conflict because I don’t want kids. I’m sure many of you can relate to this.

Careful analysis suggests that the fetish has a way of causing our fantasy to blend with our reality which makes a bit of confusion. We start thinking we want the fantasy to be our reality, then we remember what we actually want which is a life without kids.

Perhaps the link here is the segment of folks who don’t want kids. Maybe the lack of interest in becoming a parent is linked to developing the fetish. People desire and dream the strongest about things they can’t have and things that are beyond their reach due to limitations.

Of course, the lack of desire to become a parent is a self imposed limitation however it works then same as a limitation that is due to circumstances that are beyond our control.

If this theory is true, it would explain why it is common for people that have the fetish to not want kids.

My original pregnancy fetish did begin at a young age and of course, back then I didn't understand the technicalities behind pregnancy. It was a rather simple belly expansion/inflation fetish. I distinctly remember seeing a cartoon many years ago where an animal's belly inflated and thought "woah!". I would have only been around five years old at the time. I might have even been a bit younger.

About ten years ago the thought of a child or two did cross my mind. However, I think the feelings of that was only because that's when people I used to know (of around my age, give or take a year) started to have them - quite literally one after another. I think it was more of a feeling of being 'left behind' than actually wanting one. It was an odd time for me. Probably a mixture of anxiety and depression if I look back now.

Generally speaking though, before that spell (which did last a couple of years) and after that, having children has never really been a serious consideration for me. Generally, I can't do with the hassle or the expense. I quite enjoy having that freedom without them, as selfish as that may sound.

I can only echo that the ironic thing, certainly for me is that the idea of getting a woman pregnant appeals to me, but children are almost at the complete opposite end of the scale. At least we're not alone here, with this conflict.

from a gene-replication perspective, mating/offspring reproduction strategy has been commonly divided into two camps:
1) have few offspring, but invest a lot of time in each to ensure their survival to their own reproductive stage.
2) have as many offspring as possible recognizing many will die, but due to sheer numbers, some will survive to reproduce

There is also a hybrid non-monogamous investor-father that will invest heavily in offspring with his mate, but also have several flings on the side where he produces offspring over which he pays little attention. This is common most in humans.

All males from every species are gene-replication machines and as humans pass on their genes through sexual reproduction to offspring, nature has programmed man to have a (sometimes subconscious) desire to mate for purposes of reproduction. IMO, those who are pregnant fetishists have discovered and are aroused by this fact. Many not only find pregnant women sexually attractive, but also the pregnancy of a long-term mate has an effect on men to lower their testosterone inducing or exasperating feelings of closeness, affection and love particularly with a woman who reciprocates these feelings. This closeness eventually morphs into the capacity to jointly parent the child and perhaps produce more.

The distaste for children is not so much for children themselves, but the act of child rearing. Add to this the considerable stress pregnancy puts on a woman who did NOT intend to get pregnant, or a man who did not intend to get a woman pregnant and the potential social and legal repercussions of a man's lack of say in the matter at all while maintaining overwhelming responsibility inherently makes pregnancy a taboo when coupled with casual sex (among monogamous couples who have been together for long periods or the one-night-fling) It is the cultural and societal responsibilities imposed by child rearing that make the vast majority of men scared about getting a woman pregnant without the deliberate conscious intent to do so. The males contribution to the biological imperative takes minutes while the woman's takes 40 weeks. For men who have had this experience or hold this view, pregnancy has become synonymous with additional male responsibility while the woman is supposed to be doted-on, overly-protected and generally the center of attention. Socially, women tend to take advantage of this newfound power if they are not mature enough to recognize that it is ideal to have the father's willing care and support rather than his compelled support (socially and/or legally) The later typically resulting in harbored resentment

I think it depends.  I never really thought about pregnancy as fetish or even sex with pregnant women until I got to hook up with a high schooler when I was in 8th grade.  (I hooked up with her so I could say I hooked up with  a high schooler.) I like the freedom of not having to worry about a condom after I cum if I'm still hard.  I used it to get laid alot when I was younger.

Maybe my genes are so messed up (an interesting theory), an urgency to have sexual or romantic or platonic relationships with a pregnant woman, like I should have a family through this means. I do want my own kids still, but to have a pregnancy fetish can complicate things with my older and twice divorced GF who has 4 grown sons. And reading a lot of people on here claiming to have a fetish while they're not interested in having their own or acquiring the women's children, it seems different with me except to have a relationship after the baby born is complicated when she is too busy to have a social life for the most part and I'm unable to afford raising a child whether it is biologically mine or not.

My story is simple. I liked big-round bellies ever since I was in 1st grade, oh the things I’ve done just to have an excuse to touch any pregnant/fat belly that got my interest. I also don’t like people, kids and young adults especially. I’ve had that feeling ever since I was a kid.

I have liked pregnant women my whole life but I don't think it has anything to do with whether you want kids or not. I had three children, wanted more, and loved being a dad.

I remember not wanting kids at all until one day - I did! I actually remember the exact day my feelings flipped over. I think I was 25. I met my future wife a month later.

But I have always loved pregnant women. I don't think you can call it a fetish until you do something about it, until it drives your actions. In my case, that was around puberty. I'd ride my bike to the local shopping centers scout 'em up.

I think the Irony of the Pregnancy Fetish is that nobody who has it can afford to indulge in it to their satisfaction (except maybe Mick Jagger). Life would be easier if I was a fat admirer or a transvestite or some other such thing. You find a partner, buy the equipment or whatever and have at it. Folks like us have to come to this and other websites because can't just go out and do it when we want.
