I've done both. Usually a spark of curiosity makes me want to try something. Chasing a spark has only happened in terms of broadening my enjoyment of various things I already like. For example broadening my horizons in terms of types of corporal I can handle or types of bondage I enjoy
I wouldn't press it. I've taken a lot of time as well as trial and error to know and understand what was just a curiosity and what I actually have as a fetish or kink. A lot of "oh wow, that was really unenjoyable" and a lot of "eureka" moments you know? For me, to override growing and knowing myself better by just inserting a fetish at the push of a button wouldn't be right to me.
To each their own though
No lol, nobody hits them on purpose, they do a lot of damage. However, there are a lot of people who will take a roadkill buck home if it’s got a big rack on it to take that part. Usually 6 pointers or more
A small thing I love is a walk in snowfall. It is for sure better with a friend or a significant other as a fyi. I just love the silence of snow falling and the crunch under your boots while you walk. It’s very centering and peaceful. It’s one of those things that makes me present in how beautiful life is.
