I guess I've never really laid out my own preferences before. Here we go,

Well, first when I do look at pornography, I tend to look at a lot "furry" art. This most likely stems from the fact that I don't equate sexual interaction with human emotions, at least not positive ones. I see sex as little more than an animalistic urge, so it's not a stretch to imagine why I tend to gravitate towards this kind of pornography. What's odd is that when looking at furry stuff, I tend to look at images that are almost exclusively gay, when I'm not very sexually attracted to men in real life.

Then there's this pretty big fixation with submission and female domination that I've had for the last couple of years. Nothing as extreme as bdsm, just the idea of, I don't know, I guess you'd call it role reversal. Not too sure what to make of this one, but find I had to speculate, I suppose it might come from the fact that in my day-to-day life I'm not submissive at all. Maybe this fetish is a subconscious desire to be submissive in some way.

Well there's... two. I have others, but talking about this kind of stuff, even anonymously, takes a lot from me. So maybe more will come later...
I find it quite surprising that I've brought up BDSM and fetishes and both of the therapists I've told have been very open to it.

Everyone looks at different pornography. Furry is HUGELY popular amongst anime and comic-con lovers, if you go to deviant art there is usually Furry on the home page. For me, I love looking at yaoi/gay/man-on-man. I found that there is a huge following of yaoi/man-on-man by young women.

I'm also very submissive in real life but dominant sexually. That's a very common thing to pursue. People who have a lot of power tend to fantasize about being subdued while people who do not have a lot of power fantasize about being more dominant.
Thanks for this!
