help me

[smith]

I am a student (age 20) doing a bachelor degree and having problems with a lot of interest in cutting women hair ,since last 5-6 years.I can think of it for several hours with doing nothing else.And i like women,girl with very short hair and even i hate girls,women with long hair.My fav. style is one below ears.but this whole thing has disturbed me and my study a lot .And till now I have hardly got a chance to cut any women hair short. can somebody tell me which kind of problem i am actually having.and what can be the possible cures.I would be very very thankful. ThankYou.

Smith, it really does seem to have disturbed your study, I don't think I have seen such a badly written question. So is the problem that you are thinking about cutting the hair or your actually cutting hair. Can you get hold of a couple of those model world doll things from the 70's. Or what about that brilliant playdough barber shop where you turn the handle and blokes hair grows.

OOoh Bob! you are bad!!! ;-)

What do you think the problem could be? Do you think you could have an underlying problem/issue/worry that is manifesting itself by this desire to cut women's hair? Alternatively, do you think you just have a keen interest in hairdressing?? I doubt whether anyone on this site can help by suggesting what the problem could be and how it might be overcome, so you really need to talk this through with a professional as the 'obsession' is clearly interfering with everyday life.

seems to me its more of a fetish than a desire to be a hairdresser. You, of course realise that not everywoman who goes to get her hair cut into a bob or whatever. It's not something to be worried about, people find all sorts of different things attractive or a turn on, but its probably best to do somethng about it. Maybe try doing a couse in hairdressing, or find people willing to let you cut their long hair short. I can't think of anything in particular. Maybe getting folks to wear wigs, and then cut it? :-/. not much help. Sorry. Have you tried to look for people with similer feelings online?

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned the obvious answer - go to the doctor! Seriously, lots of people have fetishes about one thing or another but in some very few cases these feelings can develop into obsessions and may lead to the sufferer taking actions beyond their control. I suspect that anxiety over your feelings is disturbing your study at least as much as the feeling themselves. A trip to the doctor will either give you reassurance that you are perfectly normal or set you on a path for treatment.

Wasn't there a recent serial killer who had this problem (no offence intended) ?
