    I’m not really the demographic (30s married bi lady who’s never followed someone for boobs), but I think I get it.

    All boobs are great, but being able to interact with the owner of the boobs can make them even better, even if it’s only a theoretical interaction like when following someone on social media

      Everyone’s relationships are different, but having a parasocial relationship feels more unfaithful than just watching random porn.

      At least, this is how I’d feel about a partner watching porn.

      If a future partner of mine watched a streamer of some kind of sexual nature, that would not be cool with me personally. None of my past partners have done this so, only hypothetical.

      To each their own, I guess!

        Oh yeah, I definitely think it’s creepy, but I get it. Like asking for someone’s number at their work, it’s something I wouldn’t do but can emotionally understand, as opposed to something like stealing someone’s panties that I can cognitively understand, but I don’t get it get it.

      I feel like parasocial relationships are like lead: there is no healthy minimum level of exposure, only steadily increasing and accumulating toxic effects.
