The Train of Thought That Left the Station

Thursday Jan 15th.
I'm still wondering about the glasses fetish/bondage correlation. Could there be something in that? When you examine a pair of glasses, especially the stronger ones, and especially simple wire-rimmed or rimless, there is a bit of a "surgical appliance" thing going on there. Metal. Well, for a start there are little hinges. Hinges are hardware, not clothing. Hinges, in some sort of way, don't seem to belong on a human body. It's foreign, unnatural. Hinges are definitely in the realm of "appliance". Well...any metal really. We're used to jewellery being more discreet in its fittings. Not much in the way of hinges. Then there's the bridge with the little nose pieces. That's a real feat of engineering, in minature, designed wholly for utility, fit, and comfort. Even the word "bridge" comes from engineering. More metal, more hardware. The little screws drilled right into the lenses on rimless or semi-rimless glasses. You can't miss those, they aren't neatly hidden away, they're right "In your face". Some of you may prefer plastic, more modern. I prefer the gothicness of metal. Metal goes with leather. Straps and buckles. And then, last but not least there's the whole idea of being trapped. Of course, a person can take off his glasses, but to what end? Isn't he trapped by his own inability to see without them? Vulnerable. Yes, there's a correlation there. I'm no dominatrix, but I do like the idea of my man being vulnerable.

I'm becoming increasingly aware of two facts.
One that women like me who really like guys in glasses are not so rare at all, but actually quite common, and
Two that very few are ready to admit this openly.

It's as if it's shameful. It's OK these days to admit to all sorts of preferences, persuasions, quirks, kinks and even some fetishes. But stand up and say "I have a glasses fetish" and suddenly you are a freak. The guys get away with it a bit - or at least, there are plenty of websites and articles expressing their tastes. But you try and find a site for girls who like guys in glasses - as far as I know this is the only one. (If you know otherwise, let me know!). How many of you have even told your current partner? Yes, that's right, we live in fear of telling the truth about how we feel. Well, I'm going to do my level best to at least get this site "out there". And I'll keep writing fiction pieces for you to enjoy. It may be all you have for a while. I'm submitting to search engines, webrings, and I've advertised all over Google groups and EZboard. You can help. Do your bit for tolerance for glasses fetishists by spreading the word about this site. Send me feedback, anonymously is fine. It's early days yet, but the closet door is open. I'm just not sure how long it's going to take to get us all out.

It's the younger generation that are going to break our fetish taboo for us. Having been hunting through the internet for comments about guys in glasses, particularly anyone who admits that their preference is close to or has reached fetish proportions, I'm finding it's mostly teens and students, the under-thirties, anyway, who are saying these things (openly) and in fact that popular outlet for the mind - The Blog - contains a wealth of material. I put a few up on my Miscellaneous Page but really, there's a lot. Determined to get to the bottom of this your dedicated researcher actually polled a few females in the younger age group. OK, 4. This small sample is hardly scientific, but the results are:
75% said they have no problem with guys in glasses
50% said they like guys in glasses
25% said yes, they really, really liked guys in glasses (and shivered).
I think I'll pursue this.

Today's thought is inspired by something that cropped up on the Eyescene BBS. I was responding to a lady newly prescribed with +2 glasses. She was unsure when to wear them, as is often the case. The thought I expressed was:

"Consider it this way, and you decide. Those of us with normal vision can read all the lines on the chart. I wouldn't settle for anything less, so why should you miss out?"

I then corrected myself:

"I should have said 20/20 vision. According to statistics, 20/20 ISN'T normal!"

I don't understand hyperopia, I freely admit, the more I learn the more it baffles me, so I leave any technical advice to those who do. But I feel strongly that everyone who can physically achieve 20/20 vision has a right to it. At the risk of repeating myself, why should someone miss out on seeing things clearly just because they have a "low" prescription. Nobdy expect someone to wear +6 glasses if their actual prescription is +8, so why should a +2 wearer be expected to just suffer? If anyone can explain this unkindness towards low prescription wearers perhaps they can explain it to me.

Remember folks, glasses are for seeing with.
