I am new to this site, but am very excited to have an opportunity to share some of my experiences without the fear of being shamed. I grew up wit a mother that was very protective and very afraid of diseases. For some reason I took her fear and turned it into a huge turn on. I was scared of diseases too but the idea of them became a weird turn on, the idea of exposing myself to them. My first experience with the feeling of being vulnerable, exposed was when I was in Jr. High and worked on our farm. There was lots of animals, lots of work and a whole lot of private time, times when I was out on the farm all by myself. There was a pond out in the back of our farm that we were not allowed to swim in because it was infested with leaches. I was in the pond once and when I got out, my mom asked me what I did to my foot, it was bleeding. When I lifted up my foot, my mom let out a yelp, there were a couple of leaches attached to my foot. They were around a cut that was about to heal, but they had found still unhealed enough for them to get to my blood. I ripped them off, and that was it for the pond, no more was I allowed in there. A few months later I was out at the barn, working hard, it was very hot, and I was home alone. I so wanted to go for a swim, but was concerned about the leaches. I though I did not have any cuts, so I would be ok. I stripped off my cloth ( I would have left my underwear on, but the water was muddy and I did not want to have to explain how they got that way, I liked the feeling of being nude anyway) and stepped into the pond. The water was warm and muddy, but was still cooler than the air. The pond was small and not very deep. I knelt down and let my butt touch the bottom. As I sat there relaxing, I started to notice movement around me, it was small black worms, leaches, swimming around me in the water. They were between 3 and 4 inches long, and could go from very thick to very thin depend on if they were swimming or not. At first I wanted to jump out of the water, run away, but as I sat there another feeling came over me, the feeling of exposing myself. It was like knowing they wanted at me, wanted to hurt me and letting them. At first it was just a thought, but soon it became a desire. I sat there watching them swim around me, sensing my warmth, seeing me as food. I moved myself up, closer to the edge of the pond, the water was warmer, and there were many more leaches. I watched them swim around
