Has anyone ever told anyone in their family about their interests in catfighting or women wresting? How did it go?

[lumberjack66]

I had to tell pretty much everybody in my family (with the exception of my mom)(long story).  I would say went better than I thought it would.  Not a lot of shock or alarm. Felt kind of good to get it out of the closet.

Though about asking this question myself a few months back. I having been keeping it to myself for 40 + years.  As far as I know only me and God knows about my kink.

I have a fear that If I end up with some kind of cognitive issue in my old age I will start babbling about it

My personal fear is, that because I have a hard time forgetting things, even trivial ones, yet juggle dozens of stories in my mind, I will get trapped in a net of confabulation where I will falsely remember things that happened to my characters happened while I observed them. I subscribe to the idea that the more we allow and publicly support women having their own agency, the fewer fetishes like these ones will be stigmatized.

I told my wife, but it wasn't by choice.  She found out about it by accident, and it wasn't a pretty picture.

It was back in the 1978-1979 time frame.  I was in the military at the time, and away at my duty station.  I had ordered a catfight film from some outfit, perhaps Crystal.  I don't remember.  Anyway, I had always been fortunate enough to get to the mailbox to get the mail before she did.  But as I was at my duty station, she got to the mail first, and there it was....the video I had ordered.  She called me at my station, and asked about it.  It was pretty unpleasant.  I was able to calm her down, and she didn't say anymore about it.  But from then on, I always made sure if I ordered something, it came directly to me.  I just kept things to myself.

Fast forward to 2018.  My wife and I were eating dinner at a sports themed restaurant.  There were big screen tv's all over the place.  It just so happened the way we were sitting, I was facing a screen which was airing a female MMA match.  I didn't see it on any of the other tv's.  She asked what I was watching, and I told her.  She rolled her eyes and said....if you want to watch two women pull each other's hair out, go right ahead.  I was blown away!  I guess she figured that after all these years, she didn't have to worry about me watching girls fight.

I still don't talk about it openly, but I do wish I had been open and honest about it from the start.  It probably wouldn't have mattered, but I do hate that I kept it locked in all those years.

Sorry for the long winded story.  Just an old dude rambling on.....

I would never tell anyone about this, not even my closest male friends.  I agree with Shannon above.  I don't tell anyone what goes on in my bedroom either. 

As for my wife, she found out by accident.  Fortunately for me it went better than it did for Wasteland, but had she found out back in 1978 things might not have gone as well they did.  By the time she discovered it, we had been married for nearly 30 years and she was quite philosophical about it.

I've talked about it with various friends over the years.  I usually talk about it in terms of watching mud or oil wrestling as most seem to be able to wrap their minds around that a lot easier than catfights or apartment wrestling.  Mostly guys but I've talked about it with some girls just to see their reaction.  A surprising number seemed very interested.  As for family, I haven't talked to anyone.  I'm not married, but would share it with my wife if I were.  I think my parents knew in my younger days though.  I somehow doubt I was as good at hiding my interest as I thought.

I told my sister I like fighting and such.  She was understanding, she said thats she's more into the sports part but she's interested in street catfights

Were the girls that you told former girlfriends, or just friends you knew?

[BigArthur]

no it's my private fantasy and besides knowing my wife the way I do she's hate ut & hate me for wanted to wrestle other girls & guys so it's better to keep it to myself

I told my wife when we were still dating. I think I waited a year to tell her? She had opened up to me a couple months prior about jell-o wrestling at her college(she never participated). Her college was doing an alumni reunion and she brought it up again, basically regretting never doing it for the full college experience. So I opened up about my boxing fantasies to her. I was surprised with how receptive she was about it and understanding. She even asked if I would want to see box someone, but through a series of bad luck every opponent we found would back out last minute or no show, even some professional session boxers decided to not respond back to us. Then when her work got busy it made it impossible to find to time to do it.
