An interesting fetish to me is women that wish to become involved with prisoners. These are usually shy, sort of pitiful women that romance has not played out for, so they are as desperate as desperate can get when they reach out to the killers and the rapists behind bars looking for what they believe is affection.
It’s tragic really, these fools that are reaching out to dangerous people because they are so lonely. Many have a need to be in the spotlight and for drama, which this situation can certainly provide in spades.
Many of these women don’t actually want someone in their lives on a daily basis, and a situation like this can keep someone at arms length and provide a lacking intensity in their lives. They will no doubt be causing grief and uproar within their families and social circles by becoming involved with a notorious person, thus ensuring they are in the center of attention while this whole situation is going on.
It gives them a purpose, they become embroiled in trying to help the person get out, get new trials, etc. It gives them a cause to fight for. Yet if and when the day actually comes when the convict is released and they can actually be together, it rarely works since the dynamic of the entire “relationship” has changed. They realize they have spent years yearning for a day to day with this person and they finally get it and it’s not what they envisioned at all. It’s pathetic.
