I've been thinking recently about how much my interests relating to WAM have changed since I first realised this fetish was a 'thing'

In my pre-pubescent years, I found pretty much all content to do with a girl getting pied/gunged erotic. Any pie filling, any slime, any scenario. It didn't really seem to matter. Now I'm much more specific. With pies, I rarely buy a scene unless shaving cream pies are used (coloured Tiswas style pies are a bonus). With gunge, I rarely buy a scene unless there's a gunge tank. The setup and model also have to be spot on for me to actually download a scene.

I've also noticed a change in other stuff. For example, until quite recently, it had to be a girl getting messy. Male WAM was a big turn off. Now, however, things are different. Watching a very attractive girl tie up and destroy a guy with pies is very erotic to me. Added points for a sub/dom vibe. Similarly, the idea of a girl getting ME messy is very appealing. The idea of a girl on top in the cowgirl position, reaching for a pie and smearing it in my face is the closest thing I can imagine to sexual ecstasy. Whereas, as few years ago, the idea of me getting messy didn't really occur to me at all.

Has anyone else gone through a similar change in taste with regards to WAM? Or is it just me?

Yes, I've gone through changes in my WAM tastes over time, very similar to your own shifts in fact. I think mine was precipitated by sharing my fantasies with partners over the years. Even though I wasn't interested in being messed by a partner initially, there was this spirit of reciprocation that would sometimes happen organically; a little revenge and/or playfulness is just natural. It grew on me in a big way over time.

I'm single at the moment, but I've never had the balls to share my fetish with past partners. Although, I think it stems from the same line of thought- I always think it would be nice if they could get their own back.

That's really too bad about not telling your partners about WAM, but I understand that situation. Teenaged me had a great deal of self-loathing over my fetishes, but fortunately that loosened up through the years.

I'm also with you in regards to the "tastes-narrowing-over-time" thing, but I assumed that was related to how WAM accessibility has changed. When I was young, WAM that catered to my specific interests was frustratingly rare, I was joyful over the barest insinuation of my likes at all. Now there's an overwhelming amount of content, so much that I'd never get around to all the scenes that interest me. An excellent problem to have, I think.

A ton also changed from my pre-pubescent years. I got more intense the closer I came to my 20s. It started out purely IBYW style and just imagining a girl getting pretty much anything (and not even that much of it) down the front of the pants would do it for me. Cup of ice. A couple of eggs. One jar of something. Hell, one stand out high school memory was actually getting turned on by a girl dropping a dollar bill down her pant leg and struggling to shake it out-lol.

Fast forward a bit and I began to have specific preferences for clothing (long jeans, trousers, or sweat pants), underwear (no solid black and white, cartoon print, no thongs, full back), or food type (pudding, yogurt). It also turns me on the most when it goes inside the panties and specifically down the back, or she has to be on her way to class, work, or some similar public place where'd she be walking around with that stuff in her pants for awhile. The humiliation aspect also took priority. I find the climax point in my imagination keeps coming from her being embarrassed to have her pants fall down or butt crack show lately.

Another massive change from my old days is I now also enjoy crossdressing and doing it to myself. Something young me would have never imagined.

Mixed feelings. I kind of miss being able to get off to some leaves down a girl's back. It's nary impossible to find half the shit I'm into and paying for customs takes away the "spontaneous/unplanned" aspect I enjoy.

Not really. I still fantasize and I feel that my dream has come true when I get to see a woman get full body submerged either in a vat or a pit. It really sparks my interest when I see that woman emerge completely covered (Especially in clothing) and no clean spots.

This I love to see on here, and in TV and film.

So, this isn't completely on topic, but I have found that being in the more general fetish community (bdsm, etc..) has made it both easier to find partners willing to get messy and easier to tell them about it because sharing what we are both into seems a more routine part of relationships.

When I first discovered wam i liked pretty much all of it. Pies, slime, food, mud.

Now pies and slime don't really do it for me. I like humiliation type stuff more, specifically savory foods. If the girl is grossed out in any sort of way, thats a plus.

There have been two changes for me. First is that, unsurprisingly after lots of exposure to proper WAM on here, my threshold for a decent amount of mess has increased quite a bit. Once upon a time any pie or gunging on TV was great, but I can't even remember the last time I skimmed YouTube looking for that one-off time an attractive female presenter took a pie for Comic Relief etc. Why bother with such meagre pickings when you can have real wammers deluging themselves on here for 20 minutes at a time?

The other is that my tastes have become more sexual. My early downloads were mostly PG-rated or, at most, 15-cert tasteful nudity. However, for quite some time now I've placed a special premium on masturbation and orgasm. Why? Because I take it as proof that the model's real and has a genuine fetish. Yes, of course some such scenes are just porn models with their latest paying gig, but when you take certain scenes from the likes of, say, Leila, Jilly or Jayce to name just three of my favourites, and put it with things they've (repeatedly) said on the forum, then you know you're watching a real wammer who is getting as much sexual pleasure out if it as you are. (There's also a sub-section of deliciously tantalising unknowns, as they never post on here so you can't be sure, such as MG Amy. Is she the real deal? Wouldn't surprise me, given just how often she masturbates!) And for me that's pretty much unbeatable in a scene. Wammers reach the parts mere models just can't!

Slightly off-topic, but so totally this! I'm always amazed that TV-show pies or slimings even get mentioned here nowadays, as they are almost always in my mind so vastly inferior to what a real producer (or enthusiastic WAM amateur) can produce. But presumably that's one of the differences in how people view it - for some it's less about the uninterrupted view and full coverage and more about the elements that only a real TV show can bring.

My tastes haven't changed much, but I've become much fussier about execution, things that would have been amazing scenes back when I thought I was the only splosher on the planet and taping stuff off the VT on VHS are now discarded because the camera angles mean you can't see what's happening properly, or the models are wearing low-rise clothes, etc. Being at a feast makes me a fussy eater.

I was more into general mess back before I discovered the Wam community, but my interests have been narrowed down to pies(and cakes) in the face only. My idea of what constitutes great coverage has changed , too, as I'm drawn to coverage that lets no hint of a facial feature show through.

When I discovered WAM, I watched videos of women getting messy and imagined that that was me. I wrote stories about things that I wanted to happen to me but the main protagonist was a girl who was basically me. I was very confused.

Then I transitioned, and I'm trying to make those a reality! I have some fantasies that I'd really like to play out - but I think I need some help!

But now, fantasy isn't enough. I barely watch videos any more, mainly just read stories and I want to get back into writing / publishing some! But even that is nowhere near actually getting messy (and I don't think I do that nearly enough). The more you do, the more addictive it is!

I had a very similar experience, I used to only like female WAM and now I quite enjoy seeing male WAM, particularly in a dom / sub set-up. I went the opposite way on shaving cream pies, though, and more or less only buy scenes with real pies, and even within the realm of "real pies", I am pretty particular about coverage.

On a related note, I have been a sub in many relationships but lately the idea of dominating a man (particularly in a WAM context) very much appeals to me.

It's changed for me mainly in terms of clothing.

For me WAM is as much a visual experience as is a sensual one, and clothing is usually a must. A nice attractive outfit will almost always do it for me.

Over the years though, I've gone through formal/business/classy to now punk/rockabilly/cosplay.

I think it also has to do with my phases in life. Now it's a bit more acceptable to be into nerdy stuff. You wouldn't imagine someone getting messy in a Sailor Moon outfit 10 years ago...where now it's quite common. Seeing someone ruin a sexy dress they picked up at Hot Topic gives me as much kicks as someone who ruined an expensive blouse from Nordstrom.

Not much else has changed though .
