Heh if you only knew what real levels of creepy can be in the fetish world. This is a very mild fetish as someone said earlier in the thread.

Obviously not the right people (or, depending on your opinion, the wrong people

b. You're not 'squashing' the nipples, you're 'stimulating' them. You stop *before* it causes physical harm (mostly) >_>
c. That's not what 'the vapors' mean

It always amuses me that sheltered people never think they're sheltered.
Dec out.

B - Then how do they stay on?
C - I thought it meant fainting or feeling light-headed?

Yes - but you can't really grip it for very long - it slips between the finger and thumb.|

Well guess what? Nipples were specifically designed to be gripped |

They're made for little gums with no teeth.

No, not like that at all - they sort of chew a bit, but mostly, they're just sucking.

GG, let me just say that, should you eat too much undigestable fibre, you're likely to get "the vapors".

That isn't actually what it means. It usually had to do with someone being shocked or embarrassed into a swoon, not being horny. Although tight corsets are more to blame than anything. |
Leo_G has a weird dictionary: Vapors. Steamy. Apply that connotation to a person. Think 'hot and bothered' but milder >_> |
Dec out.
That's what I'd always thought too - that it was a type of fainting.

No, it's not, those are 'spells', vapors refers to flatulence.

Quote:
While there are occasions of "the vapors" meaning swooning from "bad air" (usually more a reference to menses than flatulence), it was more commonly an emotional reaction (or "hysteria") to something.|
Red Valkyrja has one small aspect: No, it's not, those are 'spells', vapors refers to flatulence. |
Also the cool band that did "Turning Japanese".
Dec out.
Well, considering the *only* written definition of 'the vapors' is from medical definitions regarding flatulence, I was taking the slang definition through context of the person posting it.
No corset and I doubt the OP of the term was talking passing gas.
The other definition I found was 'hot or arousal to the point of perspiring' or 'getting creeped out'. I suppose fainting could be involved but with connotation to something before hand >_>
Here, this is the etymology.
Of course that only speaks to the origin of the phrase, not its most common usage. By the time the 18th and 19th century rolled around (the times I've found it more commonly associated with), we were pretty sure fainting spells weren't caused by farts.
Dec out.
Might be explained by hyperventilation then. Since it can be 'exhalation from the stomach or other organs that affect the brain', if a man began to arouse a woman and could be taken aback and force her breathing.
[EDIT] Oh yeah, I was going to fit sweating in there cause hyperventilation can cause that too...I just forgot.
I think the arousal part is just a modern misunderstanding. The image that pops up most, I think, is that of a southern belle flapping her hand fan and saying "Why suh, I do believe you are giving me the vapuhs!" What the words would literally (EDIT: No, not literally exactly...can't think of the proper word) read as is "Sir, your romantic/sexual advances are shocking me to the point of fainting dead away.", but she's using the term coyly, almost sarcastically to actually mean the opposite of what she's saying, hence "aroused". I suspect the person who wrote the arousal part you found was merely confused by such a usage.
Dec out.
*While in your presence. It's altogether likely that they get up to some really freaky stuff someplace out of sight where it won't give you the vapors.
And I'm not cut off from differnet types of people - I go to college, I go shopping, I ride my horse, I go to parties, I hang with friends, I've done some fundraisng work, I visit whatever construction site my dad's company is working on, I been overseas when my mom had work there -and until this thread, I'd never heard of anyone squashing their nipples with building tools to make them feel good.
