Sexual openness and promiscuity

[Exian]

Such is the dichotomy of the inside vs outside view. Not to derail this thread, but just to draw some parallels; this is why I find it so hard to judge anybody in any area of life. Usually the one passing judgment is on the outside, which is a funny place to pass judgment since you know less on the outside, while those in the know are more qualified yet less likely to do so.

"Consensual forcing" on the outside seems too transparent a facade (an oxymoron, as you put it), but while in that role, you can be very convincing to yourself. I notice this phenomenon on a more consistent basis with movie previews. Something will stick out in that preview like a sore thumb (shoddy CGI, corny one-liner, etc.), but while embroiled in the plot of the movie, those same poorly executed scenes will go unnoticed. Suspension of disbelief.

Jenny, what I mean to say is with the idea of what it is to be a whore, wouldn't the kink go away if it was no longer stigmatized? Isn't the taboo of it what makes it a turn on?

I'm sorry if you addressed that and I missed it.
