Do you think that it's possible to out grow a fetish?
I think this has happened with me. Slime was a big click for me for a long time. But here lately....even with the amazing videos posted here on a consistent basis, I just don't seem to have the interest anymore.
Not totally sure. Libido can go up and down, we can get bored of some things if inundated by it, become sensitised. I know I thought I had lost my kink altogether once, turned off this profile and walked away for 2 years! One day popped my head back in and realised I was back on the WAMgon.
OutGROW...not sure I would say 'grow', maybe just changing as you get older or events happen, you might come back, you might not, you might find something new. No one know where the fetishes come from anyway so hard to tell with neurological wiring/rewiring.
Best thing is to not worry or force something you don't want as it will just not work, listen to what you do like and go with it (within obvious limits).
The urges definitely come and go for me. But I have always been that way. Its either all or nothing but I always look at wam regardless of if I have any urges, a but like looking at Facebook
I'm kind of at the stage now that there are so many people getting messy it kind of seems "normal" to get messy rather than how naughty it used to feel when there were less women doing it. It makes me come up with more and more unusual ways of getting messy in my head cause just slime and pies are just the norm now.
I desperately want to make some more videos (yes... thanks for all the offers!) But Steve seems to have lost his interest in getting me gooey. I actually mess up myself more than him gunge me these days.
All things are well here, he just doesn't seem to have that same interest he always had. A day never passed without him checking the UMD, now he rarely does. I am in here far more often than him, and it was his account to start with.
For me, the fetish shifted a bit over time. When I was a kid, I already liked messy slapstick, and wanted to experience some of it first hand, so they idea of pieing myself was interesting. After I had a chance to do that a few times, I was no longer curious about the feeling of the mess, and took the time to reconsider what I liked and what I didn't care for.
I liked a good pie in the face prank where the victim was humiliated, but didn't care to see people purposefully get messy and then strut around acting like they had done something funny and/or sexy. Self pies simply didn't mean anything to me anymore, but a good prank or believable accident that ends in messy humiliation still got me.
Established gimmicks also worked for comedy. YCDTOTV was brilliant in my opinion in their sliming trope. We understood the rules of sliming, it made accidental triggering believable, and each actor played the the part of humiliation well. Presenting characters that have motivations that don't include getting messy, and then seeing them unexpectedly humiliated works a lot better than most straight forward wam videos.
So I'd say that I quickly outgrew wam, but developed refined tastes for messy comedy.
I have perhaps felt this way about this "kink" at times as well. However, for me it has been from both sides. I have gone long periods of time where nothing I looked at here could even start to spark my interest. Not because it wasn't well produced, I just wasn't "in the mood" for that. Kind of like being hungry, but not wanting what is in the fridge, so to speak. Now at those same moments, if my wife offered to get messy, I'd jump all over the opportunity.
Conversely, I have had moments where many things here have gotten my attention and indeed were big turn ons but I didn't want to actually be bothered with getting the supplies or actually do anything about getting messy. So much so that my wife, who is only casually involved in WAM and only because she knows I enjoy it, had become concerned that maybe I no longer found her attractive that way only to be shocked again when I snap out of it and surprise pie her or whatnot.
All in all, interests come and go from time to time, but it's important to keep your mental health above all. If you're having fun, that's great! If you aren't having fun, don't force it.
I go through phases where all I think about is slime, and then also phases where I don't think about it all.
For me, the only common trend I've found is that when I'm extremely content and engaged in other areas of my life (career, relationship, etc), I'm far less interested in slime stuff.
I'm not saying that I only turn to slime when I'm unhappy elsewhere- in fact, a lot of times I'm quite happy with everything else, but still a slime maniac. But when I'm consistently engaged with something else that makes me happy, I don't find myself seeking out slime stuff or watching slime porn etc.
And if I'm engaged but with something that doesn't make me super happy, it doesnt matter how tired or busy I am, I find time for slime.
So it's really only the combo of active engagement and happiness that keeps my mind off it.
I think it's something one doesn't need to think about too much. You like what you like when you like it. And that's all there is too it (in my opinion.)
Nope, but I will say there are a lot of meds out there that I've been on at different times that have completely KILLED either my libido or my ability to cum...or both.
We change, and possibly "outgrow" as we move through different stages of life. No doubt that, as you've grown older, your tastes in music have changed, your favourite food and drinks have changed, your work ethic has changed, where you like to go to relax, and possibly even your political views have shifted somewhat.
If your fetish is as much a part of you as any other aspect of your personality - even if it's an aspect that many people who know you well might not see - then why shouldn't what "does it" for you sexually change as well?
I still very much enjoy UMD, but have over the last few years found the thought of cleaning up after a messy session (and thinking of all the things that could possibly go wrong) have put me off participating or enjoying myself, however all the great content provided here (free and paid for) are still very much of an interest.
wambam6969 said: I agree with the general sentiment here. Sometimes I'm all over WAM content and other times I focus on my other kinks. Very rarely they'll all come together in an epic way, but I do shift focus between them often but they're all always there.
I think the truth behind us wanting newness in these types of things is evident in the evolution of content here. The messygirl.com of ten years ago and today are very different, but I love them both you know?
It's complex but like others here has said, just follow how you feel in the moment. Follow the joy and give yourself time for it. You be you and we'll be here
Thanks! We have tried to evolve in a way to keep things fresh. A girl standing in front of a plastic sheet 10 years ago will fall flat today, because it has been done to death. So we used that same concept, but added a storyline to it. For example, the carnival job shoots are basically the same set up as 10 years ago, but we added a storyline of a girl in desperate need for a job, that she will do anything for it, including being on the receiving end of pies, now it feels new and fresh.

Gonna try my best to keep this briefer than normal. All thoughts expressed here are just my opinion, your mileage may vary...
Q. Can you out grow a fetish? A. Nope. If you could not only would more professionals take a different approach with those with paraphillas that are harmful there would be a bunch of people looking to monetise curing people of fetishes that cause them stress...
Q. Can you think you have outgrown a fetish/kink? A. Yes. But you haven't. Check out the law of diminishing returns. It doesn't just apply to economics and comedy but pretty much any aspect of life if you've a memory greater than a toddler. Take your favourite food item, make the decision to eat just that and nothing else for the next week. Around day 4-5 you'll be getting sick of the thought of more of it. However if you stop eating it for a long period of time your hedonic treadmill will eventual reset and you'll once again be craving more of that food item. If you come online and every time you indulge in the exact same porn niche you'll be doing the same of eating too much of your favourite food over and over again. Worse thing you can do if you are at a low point of your desire for a particular kink if you've overdone it is if you let any unresolved shame you have for the fetish to convince you to purge everything to leave it behind. It may not be a week or a month from then but you'll eventually wind up regretting it when you get the urge to return to it.
When it comes to kink/fetishes it is best to remember that "variety is the spice of life," and that moderation is more sustainable than excess. If you think you only like one type of fetish or porn have you made that decision after exploring every kink there is or did you just stop with the first one you found? Exploring other kinks means you can find other things to enjoy, may even find a partner that enjoys one of those new kinks who would be interested in trying WAM for example. Now if you have relied on WAM so long then it might feel like nothing else out there will match it, and you're probably right at first. You've had years of indulging and exploring WAM that it is much easier to get turned on by it. If you spend ages building one campfire into a roaring flame but ignore all the others you shouldn't expect the other campfires to be burning just as brightly, you're looking for just the slightest hint of warmth or a spark that could possibly grow if you spend some time on it. By cultivating a variety of kinks you can then moderate your enjoyment of each of them by varying when you will enjoy one kink and when to enjoy another one so that like spacing out when you have you favourite meal in between other meals you are able to appreciate return to each kink over and over again because of the small absence exploring the others in between.
If it was a slow loss of response then I'd guess that it's likely a low dopamine hit. (I think there's a tipping point with fetishes and it's natural for your brain to try to find something new/stimulating); If it was rapid that could be a health thing? (e.g. mild depression, fluctuating hormonal balance?)
What you mention is being echoed by quite a few of my kinky friends too:I think the current state of the world (with COVID) has had a profound effect on people's mental health, drive, etc. and many may not be aware of that effect.
I broke up with my partner ~10 months ago and fet-wise I'm hanging on by a thread because we can't meet people easily. (A feeling not helped by the world of 'online' and its regular and massive disappointments! ). I think your mind/body can go into a lower drive if there's no stimulus...
I'm pretty sure that with a change of circumstance and some actual play sessions I'll get back into it but it is a disconcerting feeling at the time. I hope when we get back to normal it'll even out for people in general ...

You know I've never realized wam was an actual fetish I saw it as a form as play growing up I did wam things all the time. I had a food fight at my school the last day that turned legendary when everyone else though it was amazing as well. I never bee umd was umd until the pandemic got me in a state of isolation. One thing about wam is that it can be less enjoyable if it's obsessive or constant for me. I tend to enjoy it more sparingly to get the most out of it. For example doing mud stuff maybe once a mouth the only aspect of wam I'll never get tired or frustrated with is water I use it in everything I do and at least one a day I interact with it. But you need to find the joy in the laughter and experience it for yourself.
It's human nature to outgrow or transition into other interests. Heck, the average person changes careers every 10 years (I realize that can be forced), the average person stays in their house 8 years and gets a new/used car every 11 years (that also can be forced), So why not other interests?
The non-wam things i was interested in 10 years ago are a bit different that what I am into now, but i for the most part like a lot of the same stuff. So you may like one type of wam at one point, but tastes are common to change and you find interests in other forms of wam.
I have been a huge mud fan the whole time and where that for me has never changed, what i see being done with mud has a bit.
Haven't outgrown it, but like others on this thread the interest/desire is cyclical.
For me, the lack of interest usually coincides with a LOT going on in the rest of my life. There are only so many hours a day, and if my focus is demanded elsewhere for all or most of them, I ain't got time to do no dirty thinkin'.
And, sometimes, it's just.. there. Nothing special. Not that interesting, but still fun.
Other times, it's full-on lets-have-fun fetish time.
And the cycles can go for months or weeks...
tl;dr: Nah, but it ebbs and flows, and it just depends as to why.

I don't know if we outgrow it, but I do know that constant exposure often results in becoming desensitized to a thing. There is a perspective that Hell is where you get everything that you want. Consequently, nothing has any real value.
Perhaps cumulative overexposure is a contributing factor?
But, as many have said, there is a natural ebb and flow involved in these things, too..... also, many people are experiencing feelings of depression during the pandemic. Depression tends to cause us to lose interest in many things.
I have also been feeling a loss of interest in WAM. For instance, sometimes somebody will make a multiple picture post, and I may click on one image of twenty.
I do find that there are a couple of videos that I still "use" and I have never found them tedious or uninteresting.
But, although I have had WAM sex with over 35 girls over the years, now it just seems like way too much trouble.
But, people are complicated and sexuality is complicated.
However, if you don't think your lack of interest is the result of depression, I would probably not worry too much about it.
I have found stress affects my appetite most, leading to periods when I'm less into my fetishes, but overall find my urges keep growing. This is perhaps due to becoming desensitised to some things, so I seek more exciting variants, but I'm also aware I'm unlikely to be able to escalate for ever so am happy to have down-time periods which helps keep things fresh.
I also find that stress can make for delicate situations. I'm not a 'work hard / play hard' type and need to put some distance between being busy with life's necessities and taking part in wam or sex sessions with others. Having a long weekend last week helped me accept my first invitation for a threesome since lockdown, but the travelling to my friend got quite stressful and put me out of the mood by the end of the journey. I made a decision that a cup of tea would put the world to rights when I got there, but he didn't have any either (doh! ). Anyway, the duo were so damn horny that they soon got me going we ended up in fits of laughter when trying to un-contort ourselves on the slippery floor of a shower that wasn't quite big enough.
