I have many kink interests, but my only actual fetishes are money in a power-exchange (outside of one it does nothing) and technological upgrades to my stuff in any setting (larger drive, faster internet, more memory...). Money came about in my youth, from coming from a poor family, I think. I *really* learned the value of a dollar and things purchased with them (and am a budgeter, counter, and saver still) and how very personal, and touchy, a subject money can be for people. And that's where my fetish came in... it's such a very big deal in each person's life, having it given in tribute (rather than a vanilla business or friendly exchange for something) has a lot of gut-meaning to me that causes excitement. Technology upgrades came from growing up right on the cusp of home computers becoming realistic... I had my hands in them, building and programming commodores, apples, and the growth of pc's from the age of 5 and up. I'm lean strongly towards to animism with them, almost, and it's been a huge part of my life. In recent decades there have been such huge jumps... tech upgrades mean more access to knowledge, better time management, leisure options, contact with friends, and -as silly as some may find it- each piece has its own personality. Each upgrade is like simultaneously adding more to a pet, person, and myself. Plus, they're just sexy in their own right.
