I don't understand what your second sentence means.
Easy. The first time, I was being sarcastic and that did not come across. (you are not alone, see above.) The second time, you missed the joke. You have now replied to two jokes in a serious tone.
"Hey, up there, it's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a bloody lead baloon." They can't all be gems, and some days, I just can't tell a joke.
Quote:I'd say it's only vegetation erotica if the wheat is arousing because it's wheat. Otherwise, it's, uh, a sex toy?
Well, the point of that particular definition of fetish was that virtually anything is a fetish, but some fetishes are socially popular and called "attractive" while others are simply called "fetishes." While I find this definition interesting, it seems useful only when describing why certain people find certain human features attractive (eye color, hair color, etc.), and it leaves no word (other than paraphilia) to describe attraction to non-human things (eyeglasses, trees, etc.).
Two words: genital bifurcation.

For a glimpse at the joker behind the curtain:
Concept behind the joke on "Vegan erotica." Association is that Vegans would be more prone to use wheat for erotic purposes since it is a vegetable, rather than an item made of meat, dairy, or plastic. Shopping list idea joke: a non Vegan considers trying this previously unexplored erotic device, finding it new and novel.
This vegetable theme brings to mind an old daffynition, that of a woodpecker being a mahogany dildo. But I digress.
On a less cynical note, are we mixing basic attractiveness with fetishes in this liine of inquiry? Are we crossing the fine line between attraction and arousal? Luckily, since we aren't in Kurast, I doubt anyone will get hurt by any fetishes, although there is the risk of blunt trauma injury should one of the ladies walking about the docks turns quickly as we pass by. Did you get that one? Or did you duck?
