Wetlook World Forum

I had a psychologist girlfriend once who did incoming patient evaluations at an inpatient facility (no, that's not where I met her :) ).  She discussed the wetlook thing with the staff at the facility.  They said that wetlook, like most fetishes, most likely occurs because our first sexual experience, our discovery of sexual pleasure, had something to do with wet clothes.  Maybe seeing hooters through a wet blouse, getting our privates washed with a wet washcloth as a baby and liking it, something like that.  The two issues can get associated with each other in our developing brain.  The staff there didn't think it was any big deal as long as a girlfriend or wife could handle it.  Just be glad you didn't get your first stiffie while crapping your diaper, you'd probably be one of those guys :).  Or if you happen to get your first one while being spanked...  I don't think ignoring it will make it go away any more than gays go straight if they quit thinking about being gay.  As a matter of fact, the staff at the facility my girlfriend worked at suggested just the opposite, what they called flooding.  Getting so much wetlook that it becomes routine and the novelty wears off.  I wasn't going to argue with that :).

As far as the Wellbutrin goes, it's an anti-depressant.  I could see maybe trying you out on an anti-anxiety drug, figuring maybe you had a little obsessive compulsive disorder making the desire into a compulsion, it's really pretty common.  But an anti-depressant?  Sounds like the shrink thought you had a bit of depression, or maybe thought the Wellbutrin might help OCD, a lot of these drugs cross over from one to the other.  I've got a step son with hard core anxiety, OCD, ADD, and a bit of depression, almost to the Brian Wilson, don't come out of your bedroom for years level. They are constantly trying him out on various anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds to see what will work for him.  It's a very inexact, trial and error type process.  The good thing about Wellbutrin is that it doesn't eliminate sexual desire or prevent orgasms, a lot of drugs in this family do.

Anyway, my advice is to ask around and see if you can get recommendations for the top shrink in your area for fetish issues.  It could save you a lot of time, money, and frustration by finding the right person to start with.  I don't know the reputation of the person you tried, but if they don't specialize in the area, they are more likely to be guessing than actually knowing.  We went through a number of shrinks trying to help my step son.  None admitted they weren't experts in the area, and none produced any improvement.  They only made him feel like there was no hope.  When he finally had pretty much a total anxiety attack and breakdown, and went inpatient for a few days, we found the right people.  His life has gotten a lot better since.

Meanwhile, I don't know anybody who ever got the wetlook desire cured, but I suppose I would never have had a reason to talk to him about it if he lost the desire.
