I think generally is the individual matter of single persons but... in my casus it could be something. i feel that i have a little feminine personality. I'm a straight guy with strong thinking about myself as a male but in all stereotypes i' m more feminine. So.. maybe soetimes there's something in it

If it were genetic other people in my family would have it. And although I'm not inclined to find out what floats their boats in that department *shudder*, I think I'd have picked up on it since I became aware of it in myself.

I have to say its environmental. I attribute fetishes to a combination of neglecting sexual exploration at a young age (ie, when everyone else was finding out what pornography was, I was reading up on tanks and samurai and stuff like that), and the earliest sexual/erotic stimulation a person experiences - context and all.

I think people's sexual orientation and preferences are something that manifests later but are developed sooner. If you can imagine experiences at a young age "setting the ball rolling" subconsciously, it is only later in life that we make the link between activity x and...er, well, xxx.

As ever, just speculating on a hypothesis.

Ok, now you all have got me curious.

Several of you say that LC fetish tends to start at a very young age.
One person actually thinks he's 1st noticed it at 4-5 years old!

None the less, what age do boys start liking girls?
Seems like it's around adolescence or at least 11 or 12 years old at a miminum.

So does anyone recall having the LC interest BEFORE they started being attracted to girls?
And if so, what was it that you like about being lifted if girls didn't yet pop into your head?

I believe "normal" childhood development involves playing with one's self at very young ages, long before they develop attraction to the opposite sex.
So maybe if something went wrong there and they turned to LC, it would make sense that LC started before the adolescent girl attraction began.
But again, I'm fascinated as to what form it took in those early tender years?

I myself don't really recall thinking about LC until I was attracted to girls.
But maybe I need to rack my memory harder...

I have to disappoint you, but I started to like girls at when I was about 4-5 years old. I didnt know what sex is BTW, I just had emotional connection which I was aware of.

I also remember i liked movies where guys were picking up girls and I remember I wanted to do the same. I fantasized about that too. First time I lifted a girl was when I was in kinder garden (5-6 years old) - I picked her up from behind, and I was pleased.

I was turned on by watching cartoon characters lift each other WAY before I was thinking about sex (I didn't know what it meant to be turned on, just really enjoyed watching the scene). I do think it's genetic in some way, probably like most other character traits.

Interesting topic. The whole genetics vs environmental influence on traits and behaviours issue is a lot more complex than people like to make out. From what i gather currenmt thinking is that epigenetic factors, the interaction of genes and enviroment in a developing organism, are very important in determining individual traits. People with very similar genes and very similar upbringings can be very different. Theres evidence to suggest that tendencies towards personality traits can be determined by exposure to hormones during early development. Its easy to imagine tendencies towards certain fetishes being influenced in a similar way. Its not necessarily a case of "my dad liked x therfore it is determined that i like x also".

I read somewhere that sthenolagnia (arousal from displays of strength) is one of the most common fetishes among bot sexes. I guess LnC would fall under that umbrella, with a subset of people for whom it is a primary focus. I'm guessing theres a lot of people out there who enjoy it but who have other focuses and probably never considered seeking out forums/videos etc.

Personally i disinctly recall being interest in being lifted by/ lifting girls from a ver young age, like 3 or 4 years old. I had a lot of female friends as a kid and figured out i was atracted to girls very early on. of course i had no idea about sex at that point, it was more like just a desire for physical contact. I'm sure those formative experiences were an influence on my specific desires later in life, LnC being one of them. Interestingly i find myself drawn to girls who share physical characteristics, eg. the way they smell, particular types of hair and skin with the girls i played with as a kid. Wierd i can remember that stuff huh?

It is easy to imagine but IMHO it does not make sense. Because, in fact, you could say exactly the same thing about homosexuality. However homosexuality cannot be genetic or epigenetic, since homosexuals don't make kids.
