Dear Ray, if I'd all the answers I also wouldn't post this request. A passion, fetishism, obsession or cult doesn't let itself to describe well in words, does it. The why-question is even more difficult to answer. So I have to pass on that one.
I realize that most people here don't have much appetite for chit chat about serious topics. Somehow I also find it difficult to express feelings in words to an audience who's not meant to be triggered. Just a few of them I hope to respond.
Answering your questions in this topic (and e-mail) also helps me to make the request more and more specific I noticed. It keeps me busy thinking. Thanks!
The last few days I was gathering ideas about the word which describes best the next step beyond fetishism. I came up with obsession and cult.
Perhaps more specific words to discuss about for those who are still interested. I hope we can come to a conclusion in the end.
So here more specific questions:
1. Who's having better ideas to describe beyond fetishism feelings in 1-2 words?
2. Who's having them?
