The Origins of our Fetishes
Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2022 4:28 pm
I was just thinking. (Yes, I know... that's a dangerous thing to do. ) I was wondering what influenced me to develop the fetishes/interests that I have.
I have been trying to catch the weekly Saturday morning matinee on TCM... they are playing the old B&W Tarzan movies that the local station used to play on Saturday afternoons (the morning of watching cartoons got me keyed up). So I am re-living all those exciting, dastardly demises the villains always met... the evil Nazis, ivory poachers, and assorted white villains coming to defile and loot the treasures of the jungle. Here are a few:
eaten alive by a giant mutant spider
quicksand
impaled on sharp spikes
eaten by man-eating plant
ripped in half between two bent saplings
high fall
crushed by falling boulder
crocodiles
(and of course) piranhas (forget that they are native to South America, not Africa)
The only FEMALE villain I remember was crushed in an elephant stampede. But now, I imagine ALL of these demises befalling FEMALE villains... usually bereft of clothing. A simple shooting or stabbing usually pale in comparison to these for me. Anyone else with these interests?
