I agree with that up to a certain point but, at times and in certain extreme cases like this, one’s mind and body screams, “My God!” There is a big difference between tolerating things and embracing things.
Sure, people who go public and make a point of attacking alternative sexual orientations and acts are intolerant and cause damage. I think those are the people you are talking about. I would never do that because that is intolerant, demeaning, and emotionally damaging.
If, however, I’m sharing drinks with a small group in a sports bar, and the guy next to mean leans towards me and says, “Let’s pop a couple of gummies, go to my place, and I’ll shit in your ass”, that’s personal. I’m going to keep my feelings of disgust to myself. I’m not going to lash out at him and tell him that he’s a repulusive human being. I’m going to pull some cash out and say, “Here’s my share, I’ve got to go.” That’s tolerance without embrace.
Does anybody remember LiveJournal? Some groups on it were related to various sexual interests. Some of these I looked at for prurient reasons. Others, I was curious to see just how weird people could get. I remember one grouo (I don’t remember the name.) had a member whose kink was putting on lacey women’ panties, and then moving his bowels in them. He would then post photographs of the soiled panties. You had to click the post to actually view the photos. I made sure never to do that.
I’m giving my opinion on a message board designed for ideas, facts, and opinions, and I didn’t bring up the subject. I’m responding to a subject that someone else brought up.
Let’s go back to my small group having drinks at the pub scenario. Suddenly you turn to me and say, “I learned about a new type of sexx act last night.” Then you go on to describe it. Well, I would give you my honest opinion of it. Should I patronize you instead with insincerity and lies?
True, but hyperbole and drama is part of how I communicate for strong effect, and I was horrified and repulsed at the moment. I actually get it from my family background. In truth, if an individual of that ilk expressed suicidal thoughts, I would do everything I could to dissuade him and build up his self-esteem even though I was secretly disgusted.
Circa 1974 I saw an ‘underground comix’ style publication illustrating that particular act, drawn very much in the style of R. Crumb. As I recall [recoil?] a funnel was involved. The guy who brought that into our house was hoping to date my sister, and has never been seen again.
That was weird. Questionable? Now why would they make a child repeat those lines? With or without additional context, it’s exploitive.
You may find it funny or absurd?
There are things in my life that are a mystery. Dark matter/energy and this topic are among them.
With the limited time I have left on this Earth, I choose to invest it in something that may be comprehendible like the former, and disregard the latter.
I once won a bet with a friend that I could not find an image of a lady giving birth while being sodomised. Granted, it was a manga cartoon, but he lost that bet.
The depths of human depavity are infinite.
(Aside) here, speaking of human depravity, I wish to mention two genres of porn that are not even “shock sites”, which were popular in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Dinosaur porn.
A gentleman making sweet love to a tyranosaurus. Appeared to be catering to the gay market, though who knows what to do with a cloaca? It was CGI, though, so cheap.
Pterodactyl porn. Three lightly dressed young ladies performing felatio on three badly dressed men in pterodactyl costume.
That one has me amazed beyond the usual WTF, partially because of the poor costuming, but also because who in their right mind makes this, and not only makes it, but clearly makes it in hope for a profit??
A young lady places her buttocks lightly, on top of a cake, usually fully iced… and does a fart.
This was a real website which apparently had real visitors (aside from people like me, weird porn tourists) because they had a “paid area” where you could see (apparrently) more hot girl on cake action.
