Early in the year I met a lady who loved swatch and had a few in her collection. Over time we became friends and talked about it quite openly. Then I thought that its probably safe to tell her about the fetish as she seemed really happy talking about her collection, what she likes about it, how she got into it and so on. Big mistake, she freaked out about it! Then she stopped wearing it altogether and completely stopped talking to me.
Damn, that's a shame, mate. I've told about a handful of people (all lassies, funnily enough) and they've all been cool about it, with reactions ranging from saying they'd never heard of such a fetish to some saying it was "cute."
All ladies were, like myself, interested in BDSM to some degree so they could understand the idea of being attracted to large heavy items attached to a girl's wrist.
