I'm sure this is quite the subject. Does anyone feel like the pregnancy fetish has a negative impact on your mental health? How so?

I'd say that having a pregnancy fetish is a complicated matter in terms of my mental health, but generally, the pros and cons of the fetish's effects on my mental health cancel out equally, so it doesn't affect me much in terms of functioning and well-being. On one hand, it helps me deal with the current shenanigans that this world and mine are experiencing, but on the other hand, it seems that the fetish affected my preference for women, so I needed to get that fixed.

It's no different from any other fetish. Something "deviant" excites us sexually. Ta-da. I don't think a fetish affects a person's mental health unless it interferes with thoughts and behaviors in a harmful or otherwise undesirable way. For example, if you find that you can only get it off to pregnant women and this begins to affect your relationships and/or sexual health, then yeah, you've got an issue there.

Yeah. The whole issue with me is complicated. I seemingly have streaks where I just feel like garbage for having the fetish.

As someone with a myriad of mental health issues, I don't think me having a pregnancy fetish does any harm or any good, either. It's just...there. That being said, it has affected me socially. Whenever I try to find a suitable partner, it almost seems like a requirement that they either 1) have the same fetishes as I do or 2) don't mind them. Just by doing that, it narrows my options down to almost zero, since I know society isn't too keen on the idea of someone with a fetish for pregnant women. That's why I've had to resort to escorts that are pretty far away from me. Just so I can have some sort of intimacy with someone, even just for a little while.

I think that each person is different when it comes to this fetish. If you have any underlying health conditions like you’re known to get constant headaches then it could be something with over masturbating and consuming too much of it. We just sexual deviants. I know for myself I that if I over masturbate to pregnancy porn I get dizzy and I have to stop for a long period of time. Again each person is different. I do know that with this fetish it has changed the way I think and that’s it. So you got to know what your limits comes with this fetish and how you feel.

Thank you for the advice. I do deal with anxiety and depression, which does not help. It is tough to come out publicly, but I know those who are close or care about me won't see it. I think the fact that I shove anything pregnancy related down into a shame "box" in my mind. Especially with the fetishes that I like that involve pregnancy. Good thing is that I don't get creepy around pregnant women, nor do I go out of my way for interactions. I do hope to one day have a family of my own, which is part of why I like pregnancy. Maybe I could be too harsh on myself. A close friend tells me that I am.

Thanks for sharing dude! I don’t think the fetish has any negative effects on me particularly, I think everyone has some sort of fetish. There’s some that are really out there... that seem evil. I do wish I dident spend as much time as a I do on here... it’s usually when I’m bored ? or lonely. I’m actually trying to not look at “porn” anymore. Try the NoFap thing, since I do believe in a God... it be better if I find a wife and get married. Then get her Preggo haha. That’s my goal. So if this is getting in the way of that it has to go. Trade fantasy for reality. Be brave and bold. Face loneliness and rejection to win. I listen to a lot of Jordan Peterson, David Goggins, and Tim Keller. They motivate me to stop the online stuff and go get a girl. Thanks for being real dude, I feel anxious and depressed sometimes but I think the answer is changing me reality to be more involved in community and achieving good goals.

The only thing I’m 100% sure of is that nobody should be living solely for their kink. The downside is that in the current pandemic and quarantine everyone is sort of stuck inside, so that makes doing other things a bit more challenging.

While that is true on what the pandemic has done to some of us I know for a fact for myself as an essential work I'm out of the house for at least 5 hours a day. Been also trying to stop fapping, make small visits here. But I did pick up reading manga as a new form of distraction for myself. It's also about how do you controll this kink before it controlls you?
