>>20469572That's an interesting question.
A lot of people seem to come at it from the power dynamic angle, the high-class, powerful woman (power furs, etc.) who can afford to wear something expensive and/or controversial, and soon.
Now me, I've got a classic fetish thing going on, so I like fur for its own sake, but then that raises questions as well, what with fur fetish going all the way back to Sacher-Masoch and our earliest descriptions and understanding of fetishism as a concept.
With it being such a well-known and prevalent fetish, there has to be some general attraction to it, whether something as simple as how physical sensation is so basal to sexuality, or something more abstract, like how foot fetishism seems to be related to the proximity of sensory regions for feet and genitals in the brain.
It's fascinating really, I know there are lots of cognitive- and behavioral scientists trying to figure out how it all fits, and I wish them luck.
...That's a lovely picture, by the way.
