No! That's not normal at all! What's wrong with you?

Interesting. Half the time sexually I'm either performing in my head some great sporting or militaristic feat

No, it's not normal.

Just as it is not normal to get touched by music, poetry or different kind of ceremonies (religious celebrations, military parades etc.).

All that is orchestrated to manipulate people and to guide their way of thinking.

Panem et circenses.

Not at all a conspiracy theory here. Just a logical demenaour of people who have political, spiritual or other kind of power. It's as old as humakind.

I hope you realized that my post was meant as a joke? I thought the GIF of a weirdo calling an "ordinary" person weird would tip you off. That and the smiley. My point is that we are all weird, that's why we are here, for God's sake!
We all have our particularities, you are just unusually outspoken about yours, hence why I was making fun of you.

Thanks! You made my day!

I'd say it is more normal to be turned off by sport. Unless it is Sports Illustrated

Looks like Frederick Exley hasn't passed away after all, it's the topic starter....

There is cunning irony in this beautiful book. A Fan's Notes. Simply, it is about a man who wants to be something, who wants to make some sort of contribution to the world at large. Yet all he's truly capable of doing is glory in the triumph of others. He sits around in a bar throughout his dead-end life wishing he were someone else and root root rooting for those who have been chosen to be American icons. He wastes his life away teaching nonesense to uninspired students, aware of his predicament, desperate and alone, waiting, wishing that somehow things will turn around for him. But at least he has football, at least the Giants are winning, at least Frank Gifford, with whom he went to school so is therefore a mirror image of himself, is doing well, holding on to the glory of the the world, so Ex can live through him, forget about his own misery and self-directed worthlessness and triumph when Frank triumphs. It is a wonderful book. It is a stinging tragedy that you can't quite empathize with. It is the story of a man who has lost his way and can only find himself by watching others succeed. It is a saddest book in all of American literature.

Theres one thing I will say though. Frederick Exley, who you've introduced me to (and thank you for that) seems a good & generous guy. I don't take your post as being sneering or derisory in any way. But who's the sad case here? Is it one like myself who yearns if you like, for some noble ideal that he himself hasn't reached & may never reach, (and has the humility & self-deprecation to know that) or the countless sad horrible people over past 30 years, particularly in professional life, I've met, that truly believe they're the dogs bollocks because they are middle managers in banking, technology, administration whatever, who really look down on people & imagine themselves legends, when most of them are worthless kiss-asses who know, as some particularly horrible bastard I once had displeasure to meet, admitted to me, "who to be nice to". I'll take Frederick Exley's side over these anyday. I have good job, I work hard, I'm not bar-stool failure, but for those who are, who am I to judge? Theres an old saying, "walk in a mans shoes first before you judge", thats how I feel.

I'm non-sporty, non-competitive in that way. So if you meant 'would I get turned on by winning the World Cup or some Grand Prix etc, no I really couldn't care less. But if other people would then that's cool for them.

But there is a cross-over in my affections between my fetish for glamour and my admiration for female athletes/performers in those sports/activities when there is grace, elegance and a kind of particularly feminine supple physicality to them.

I admire those women for being exceptional in their fields obviously, excellence is excellence and to be admired. But I will also admit to a dose of lust mixed in there too when watching women engaged supple-stretchy exertions (ballet, gymnastics, trapeze). Some of those poses also overlap with predicament bondage (held-tied in positions of pleasure-stress).

Zlata the gymnast-contortionist and glamour model is a famous example worth checking out if you don't know her work.
