Think you're harping a bit on semantics here, so for your sake I'll change a single word within the original sentence that you quoted me on even though it doesn't in any way alter my intended meaning: "Apparently you think that peeing in front of someone can be a great way to showcase these features, which is a sentiment that I cannot relate to or empathize with in any way."Whether or not it is a "great way" to showcase intimacy, it is a way to do so, and worked well as such in the context of the story
It seems that they were aroused by their openness and intimacy with one another, which is relevant because you openly stated that urinating in front of each other played a factor with this development. And because you seem so fixated with my use of the term (while simultaneously claiming not to be defensive), to be clear my use of the word 'fetish' was hyperbole; the fact is that they went out of their way to watch each other urinate; it was a motivation that they acted upon and enjoyed so much that they wanted to repeat the experience. Some people like watching other people urinate and other people don't. Some people think that urinating in front of each other helps build "trust and intimacy", other people think that trust and intimacy is better built and showcased through other means.The urination scene in the story was part of an overall theme of creating a deeper intimacy between the two women. There is nothing in the text to indicate that either character was specifically aroused by the act of either watching or being watched during the act of urination.
Which is why I said that your preferences are your preferences; you can watch people urinate all you want in the interest of intimacy and openness if that's what you prefer. I've read a lot of books where trust and openness was developed between characters, but never once have I read a book/ story that wanted to showcase this development through urination, which is why I gave props to erica for the originality. Like maybe it's just one of those LGBT things? Idk.
Either way, I'm just impressed by all the people here who can find two women who like to urinate in front of each other to be 'highly relatable.'
Did you conflate the benign use of a colloquial expression with a subjective judgement or are you just looking for any excuse you can to preach and find fault within others? I'd elaborate, but if you can't be bothered with this type of effort then why should I be?Don't say "I'm not judging" in the same breath that you pass subjective judgement. It's dishonest.
