Lol! Callum, it sounds as if you really enjoy those accents that like to collect the phlegm at the back of the throat. That does sound kind of like a fetish.

I do think, though, that there's an important difference between what attracts me to someone and an actual kink or fetish. I like women with nice voices. I like intelligent women. I like fun-loving women. I'm good with a pretty wide range of body types. Good hygiene is absolutely non-negotiable and essential, but I'm pretty open to whatever else. But being attracted to certain qualities of someone is not, in my opinion, the same as having a fetish or kink. By the time I get intimate with someone, attractiveness has been established. It's what happens after that that kind of gets into the category of sexual preferences... My difficulty is: So many topics surrounding sexuality have been framed by various societies as being taboo that it's tough to get people to admit what they really like and really want. Which makes things kind of crappy for a guy like me, who genuinely wants to know and would never pass any kind of judgement. Ultimately, I sure wish we felt more free, in general, to talk about sex. I pretty much never get tired of discussing it, having it, and working to get better at it.

This is interesting. This is something that perhaps isn't talked about much. Not often enough, to be sure. When I start listing all of the things that I enjoy in this regard, even in my own mind, I'm continually surprised about how long that list can get. Under the right circumstances, I think I could get into doing almost anything. At the end of the day, I think my greatest kink is actually indulging my partners' kinks. More than anything else, I take the greatest pleasure in the pleasure of my partner. The better I can make them feel, the better I feel, and the more turned on I get.

There is a pretty accessible fetish social media sight called FET life, the last time I was on it I was very impressed with the Accessibility with VoiceOver, very easy to navigate. Unfortunately, I was never able to  find anyone Who was interested in role-playing as a sexy bank manager who was just begging to give me an interest free loan that I would never have to repay.

Thanks everyone for your openness, I was incorrect in my question, but well, you can share your fetishes / preferences then :D. @Allure aww, is it you the creator of the group in facebook? It's dead now sadly.

I think you both are right though that there is a difference between fetish and preference. I wouldn’t say that having a preference or enjoyment of deep voices/accents is like a fetish in the traditional sense, any more than a sighted guy liking blonds is one such. I agree however that voice is a massive thing for me, as are certain accents. Specific American ones, Irish, South African ones or maybe Australian in the right context. But yeah I think fetish goes beyond that to a place which is non-normative. I think also fetishes and neurodiversity tend to come together as well.

So for me, I really like soft things. It takes me to a very comfortable, safe space mentally and I find it easier to relax and enjoy being in the moment. I don't have any smell-related ones, actually. And while accents are cool, I find voice and vocal texture is far more important to me than the accent someone has.

So a lot of folks might laugh at this but I think it is actually a good question. I have a theory that blind people, especially those who were born blind/lost sight early, are more likely to develop fetishes or kinks. It makes sense to me, we lack certain visual inputs and so we fill in the blanks in a sensory way. Most of the blind fetish people I know have very sensual kinks, like feat, fypers, fur, even things like scat or urine, which of course have strong smells. This is more common in men than women in my experience but there is definitely a connection.
