This is a really weird question - in fact I don’t even know what I’m asking.
Ten years ago, there was a boyband around that I liked. I didn’t particularly fancy any of them (they were young and I wasn’t) but I liked their cheesy pop music.
Anyhow, the other day me and my friend were chatting about the band and she bought up a theory that I’d never heard of before in which two of the band mates were secretly in love with each other, were in a relationship and although it was highly suspected and supported by fans, they were forbidden from openly being together as it would ruin the band’s image. They were purposely kept apart in public by their management but apparently their secret, behind the scenes relationship lasted about 5 years.
I completely laughed it off at first but my friend was adamant by it was true and told me to go and look on YouTube as there were supposedly 100’s of videos about the guy’s relationship and made by fans who had been speculating about it.
I did watch some of the videos and it flicked a switch in me or something because now I can’t stop thinking about them together. As individuals I have never fancied either of them.....but watching the YouTube videos about their forbidden love (they aren’t sex videos lol) I can’t stop thinking about them and suddenly I’m finding them very hot!
I find myself keep watching the YouTube videos and whereas many of them make me feel sad that they weren’t allowed to be together, the majority of them just make me feel quite turned on by the thought of them having loving and sexual feelings towards each other.
I don’t know what’s going on with me!
Is this normal?! I’m having very frequent and arousing thoughts about them....
Is this some form of escapism?!
