Anybody else here ever hate themselves and try to give up the fetish because of social pressures....I know I have......my mother was talking about the devil when she found out....

I'm afraid it's just something you're gonna have to accept. I know I was embarrassed and ashamed at first, but as long as it doesn't interfere with my daily life, I see no harm in it. I understand that your mother isn't too happy about it, but there really isn't anything that she can do about it. She can convince you that it's immoral and degrading, but like I said, as long as no one gets hurt/becomes addicted to sex, I say it's completely fine.

then your mother has far worse problems than you do. seriously. 

as far as societal pressures go, no one else (friends/family) needs to know about this (aside from partners/wives, in the name of transparency in relationships). everyone has secret kinks.

how did your mother find out?

I don't know why this is even a question. It's not like being attracted to pregnant women is a crime against nature. Child porn now that's a crime against nature. I honestly wouldn't care if my mom knew I was into pregnant women. I don't feel like this is something I have to hide. I have confessed to many of my friends and they know where I stand when it comes to pregnant women. I'm sorry your mom kink shamed you so bad that you began to question your love for the fetish. All I can say is you have to be strong despite what critics may say. As long as you accept the fetish is a part of who you are then there is nothing to worry about. Don't look down on yourself and think there is something wrong with you. It's tough because as kids we seek approval from our parents and don't want to do anything to upset them. However, in this case, I think parents need to be able to accept that their kids are different as long as they are not committing actual crimes parents should be supportive.

I'm glad you were able to sort out your feelings and return to the fetish.

She went through my internet history and found Expansion Mansion.....I never really liked the super duper pornographic stuff just how it enhances the womens curves

Honestly I felt the same a few years ago but for me I got over it and learned to deal with and with who I share it with and found like minded people and with in the art community

I've had a problem with this in the past. I used to have a senior in school whom I respected and grew up with. When I was 15 and she was 25, she became pregnant and above all, unfortunately (for me) she had an incredibly sexy pregnant body and a nice outie. I hated myself for seeing her as something sexual as she was more like a mentor and a person I looked up to. I hated how dirty my eyes are and took me a long time to get over myself

For me it's not exactly self hatred but the way everyone else perceives the concept of me. As long as subconsciously "I know" I wont end up on a registration list of any kind I'm content.
