Re: 167
Also, I don't see anything wrong with the question they asked, because in fact, they weren't implying reality: They were saying "Why would you fantasize about something like that, you're obviously mental." Reality remains irrelevent, here. They just can't comprehend how that could be someone's fantasy.
2) Because I thought I'd limit my statement to the context in which we're having this discussion, and I'm not so presumptuous as to assume I know everything that goes on outside of this community. I can only speak about what I know.
3) I can't ask this question without sounding rude or facetious, but why isn't it okay to be repulsed or confused by another person's fantasy to the point of thinking that there might be something wrong with them? The only assumption that's really being made there is that fantasies happen to come from somewhere. Personally, I don't think that everyone that has a fantasy that grosses me out is automatically fucked up, but I also think that even the most inoffensive fantasies have to come from somewhere and it's worth examining why you feel the way you feel.
To put it another way, it's a really volatile issue on both sides and I sympathize with people who have really strong initial reactions to fantasies that they can't understand. I don't think that they're being quite as judgemental as the people who have these fantasies think, because the people who have the fantasies are understandably defensive and nobody likes to be judged.
4) I never claimed that all were. But many are. Level-headed and defensive are not mutually exclusive, and it's quite possible to be both at once. People get defensive when they're being judged. It's just a human thing.
I never said the view was legitimized, but basically, you're just reinforcing my point: you're projecting. The view that the kink is wrong and not normal isn't one that's been widely espoused. Also, you could make a very good argument that it isn't exactly normal, but that's just a technical point really.
