Does anyone else experience periods where they don't have much wam interest, then suddenly it's back. I tend to have these on-again off-again waves fairly regularly as I get older and have been involved in wam for a long time. Anyone else experience this?

This happens to me as well. There are times when I go around a month or 2 without much of a desire for wam, or where I only really feel a need for it once every week or two, and then I'll go on a kick where I'll look at videos/pics or do some wam daily before it drops off again. I'm currently in a heavy "on" period right now that's so far lasted an entire month, but who knows when the switch will flip and I go into one of my "off" periods. The same exact thing happens for my other non-wam interests as well so it's not exclusive to this particular interest.

Yes!

Yep, absolutely - I am currently in an "on" phase right now where I am having frequent self-WAM sessions, but just a few years ago, there was a phase in my life where I probably went well over a year without actively WAMming. I'm not sure of the explanation as to why but I don't necessarily mind it, as it helps keeps things fresh when the switch flips from off to on.

I do yes

It's in stages

Yep. As I get older, I tend to find myself more and more focused on other matters and less on WAM, or for that matter, women/relationships/sex in general. But then something will catch my eye and bring me back around here to see who's still here, who's new, who's gone, etc. After a couple of decades of being around in the background, it gives some of us a certain perspective that makes this fetish, this kink, this whatever-it-is-to-each-of-you a sense of a community. Not everybody gets along because we ALL have different aspects of our lives outside of WAM that may not see eye to eye on other things, but if we didn't have at least this thing in common, we wouldn't be here and we wouldn't keep coming back eventually. But we all also change and grow (or at least, grow weary of the bullshit) as we age, so that draw to here is only natural to see ebb and flow like everything else in life.

I've posted this theory here before, and I've no idea if it's true. But for me, I think one of the key things that makes WAM exciting is the "forbidden" nature of it. Each time I have a WAM experience, particularly in person, that tends to normalise that experience and so makes it less exciting, at least for a time. Hence there's been an inflation in my expectations over the years, so the thing I'm doing now is always "more" than the now normalised thing I did previously, and hence also the need for breaks in the experience while my expectations of what is "normal" are reset, and WAM becomes exciting again. Probably all cod psychology nonsense, but it makes sense to me!

Definitely. Like early on when I would wank to it every single day it got to the point where like I would be in school and images would start to pop into my head randomly (especially if someone had a long dress on, and where I live it's still pretty hot when school starts back up so they were common) so I had to stop for a while.

Then I started exclusively doing it to people getting wet/messy in maxi dresses, except in my go-to scene if someone I saw in public remotely resembled the model in that scene my mind would go blank.

At some point this year I had a breakthrough, come to Jesus sort of moment and now I can casually browse or something without so much as an issue whereas it used to be that I couldn't look at any sort of wam stuff unless I wasn't going out in public for a while. But I also haven't seen a new scene in with a maxi in it in a while so
