I (20F) can’t take my gf’s (21F) gnome fetish seriously.

r/

So I’ve been with my gf for about 6 months now and she recently asked me to try something new with her in the bedroom. She said she had always had a fantasy about being a gnome having sex with a hot gnome girl with little pointy hats on and everything. I have to admit I had to try not to giggle when she told me this, but wanting to please my gf I agreed to give it a try.

So this past weekend, my gf went out and bought 2 gnome costumes from Spirit Halloween. When she got home, we put on the costumes and started making out on our bed. I had managed to put aside how funny this was at first, but when she started taking off my shirt and said some shit like “Hoo hoo let me see those enchanted sugarplums!” I just completely lost it and doubled over laughing.

I figured she would see the humour in the situation and would start laughing as well, but no. My gf got really pissed off and changed into her normal clothes, saying that I completely killed the mood. I apologised to her and she said it was ok but she still seemed upset. Yesterday she texted me saying that she doesn’t want to have sex until I “start taking the gnome courtship ritual more seriously.” I’m down to try this with her again but idk how to keep myself from laughing??

TL;DR my gf won’t have sex with me bc I laughed at her gnome fetish and idk how to stop finding it funny

    I’d explain that you’re trying but this is new to you and she should be more patient as well. No one is obligated to participate in partners fantasies, so she needs to understand you’re trying your best

    First: I’m writing this down to use later
    Second: you could try asking her to be a mute gnome, or maybe wear noise-canceling earbuds?? i really don’t know t.t if anyone ever says “hoo hoo let me see those enchanted sugarplums” to me in any context im chuckling idk t.t

    Goddamn it OP, how could I NOT click this post title.

    Assuming this is real, this is why it’s important for couples, when trying out new things in the bedroom, to DISCUSS their expectations and intentions in detail beforehand. It sounds like you were okay with the dressing-up, but weren’t emotionally prepared for her to start talking differently, too.

    >I’m down to try this with her again but idk how to keep myself from laughing??

    Let her know you’re down to try again, but also tell her it’s important to you that she shares what exactly she has in mind first. Not only because it’ll help you prepare, but because you can also practice your right to say “I’m not comfortable with us doing that”. I understand you want to be respectful, but consent is still important.

    You can also take this time to disclose that you’ll try your best to take her wishes seriously, but it’s possible that you may struggle with getting used to it. If she wants to try this with you, she needs to acknowledge that possibility.

    I’m tempted to say this is a troll post, but I genuinely hope it’s a genuine gnome post. I can’t decide which one it is.

    A gnoll post?

  18. Bigchungus182 Avatar

    From the title I thought it was going to be something similar to the game garden gnome, where you knock on someone’s door but instead of running away you all pretend to be gnomes.

    I think you guys have to wear the gnome costumes during the day, not just in the bedroom. Try to adopt a whole gnomish lifestyle. That way it won’t feel so awkward.

    Redesign the apartment for that life.

    Try to read a gnome romantic fantasy or play a game with that content to try to understand the hype better? Only suggestion I could think of. I’m sure they’d have some on Wattpad or AO3.

    I don’t think this is real but I do think it’s amazing and I applaud the creativity!

    Ya. You went the wrong way.

    Fetish is to be accepted not made fun of.

    Bro, take the gnome courtship ritual seriously and get some gnome action

  27. nihlus-krane Avatar

    Nice writing piece, should have tried to make the protagonist more sympathetic. I hope this fictional gnome gf finds a cooler, hotter Gnomeo to get freaky with. 2/10

    Honestly bro, I don’t think anybody here blames you for not taking her serious, that sounds pretty goofy😂😂 I’ve had girls with breeding fetishes, r@pe fetishes (with safe words for obv reasons) and BDSM fetishes but never in my life have I even heard of a gnome fetish😭😭 idek if I could take myself serious dressed as one. If you really like her tho, it’s worth a shot imo💀
