Welcome!

Hello all,

My name is Robert, and I’m here to share some experiences and insight that some of you may find of interest. This will primarily be of interest to any of you who has ever wished they did not have a haircut fetish. For the longest time, I struggled with this fetish, which eventually developed into an unhealthy fixation. I realise I risk terrible unpopularity by stigmatizing/pathologizing a seemingly harmless fetish, but, for me at least, this interest came to compromise my quality of life: I no longer could feel an attraction towards my significant other because he had longer hair, and found myself compulsively and continually getting extreme haircuts that did not suit me. For myself and other fetishists I know, this interest in haircuts has become more of a curse than a blessing.

These problems led me to begin research into the nature of fetishism – why does one get a fetish in the first place? Is it normal? Is there any cure? I enlisted the help of several therapists and researchers in the field of human sexuality, and have since gained tremendous insight.

So, if you are asking: Were you able to “cure” yourself of this fetish?

The answer is: Yes! I’ve created a blog in which I outline my findings on what this fetish is, and how to go about coping with it should you feel it is compromising your quality of life. This work represents a collaborative effort between myself and a team of psychologists and psychiatrists. Among the professionals I have engaged in dialogue with have been cognitive-behavioral (CBT) therapists, rational-emotive-behavioral (REBT) therapists, psychoanalytic psychiatrists, and sexuality counselors. My bias is towards the CBT and REBT schools because they focus more on change and treatment, but the work is essentially a holistic treatment of the topic.

I hope some of you find this information as useful as I have,
Much Luck,
Robert Kesse
