The Original Post
hi I (22F) am Turkish and was raised with strict perspectives about everything. You may know my country has a complicated past with literally every neighbour country lol and marrying with any of them is unthinkable thing. So I realized I developed a fetish about a specific nation (take a wild guess) and Christianism. It feels forbidden, hot and exciting. When I learn someone is from that country it turns me on so bad and I want to seduce them immediately no matter what they look like. They be my target just because of their ethnicity. Also I tried a few more person too but our conversation didn’t last or they didn’t respond so I seemed like a weirdo because i may be tried too much :/ Any help how can I get rid of this weird fetish?
What Reddit Said
Redditors were surprisingly supportive and reassuring about OP’s confession. Most commenters emphasized that her fetish was extremely tame compared to other kinks. They normalized her feelings by explaining that forbidden romance attraction is completely common.
However, the community couldn’t resist playing detective about the mystery nationality. The top comment correctly guessed Greece, which makes perfect sense given Turkey’s complicated historical relationship with its neighbor. Meanwhile, other users chimed in with greetings from various Balkan countries.
The Verdict
The overwhelming consensus: OP shouldn’t feel like a pervert about her forbidden ethnic fetish Turkey situation. Reddit validated that taboo attractions are normal human psychology. This appears to be a case of relationship advice where cultural shame was unnecessarily creating guilt about natural desires.
