A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

They're a secondary sexual characteristic, so it seems like something that would get attention.

Asking why a fetish isn't common is kinda oxymoronic, in a way, considering all true fetishes are pretty rare. If you just mean 'why aren't they seen as attractive by straight women/other male-attracted groups' then I can assure you they are.

The whole neck, collar bone, shoulder and peck area is like, my favorite part of the male form, and I am not alone by a long shot. Maybe talk to more women about this stuff lol.

Lots of us appreciate several parts of male anatomy in similar ways that straight men do female anatomy.
