A note to all the people I know who are uncomfortable with their own sexuality and downright squeamish about kinks, fetishes, homosexuality, bisexuality, etc.:
Sure, you have the right to have an opinion. You even have the right to voice your opinion. I'd rather not hear your opinion but them's the breaks.
You know what? I think you're wrong, and every time you utter an incredulous "Ewww!" or "Gross! That's disgusting!", I want to smack you upside the head. Usually I'm too busy stopping myself from actually doing that to respond in a coherent manner with my opinion, so here it is - listen up.
Sex is not "gross." It can be messy and smelly and, when looked at individually, parts of our bodies can be fairly funny looking. But that doesn't make it gross at all. If you hate your body so much that the thought of another person even looking at those funny, messy, smelly parts makes you ill, then that is something you have to work through on your own. But let me tell you, you're missing out on exploring, enjoying, and worshiping other people's parts and having them do the same with you.
Just because you're uncomfortable with yourself doesn't mean that what other people do is "disgusting." Try to cultivate some acceptance of other people, or at least the ability to weather a situation without passing judgement. And yes, the squirming in your chair and outraged expression on your slack-jawed face (how do you manage both of those at once?) does count as passing judgement, even if you don't say anything out loud.
Lastly, don't look to me to validate your opinions. I don't agree with you. I'm not ever going to agree with you, in fact. That should be okay.
Next time I will say these things to your face, coherently or not. And I promise not to smack you upside the head either, no matter how much I may want to do that.

So...chin up little buckaroo!

Date: 2002-12-11 10:36 am (UTC)As far as I go, heh, who the hell am I to judge anybody else's kinks!!! (Although there *are* certain things that do make me laugh. Very, very hard. --- Okay, I'm picturing them now and laughing!!!!)

And I'm muy curiouso as to what brought this on!!
Since I'm not sure if the people who caused this smallish rant read my LJ, I'm going to have to leave it at this. I'd rather tell them my opinion to their faces than have them read about it here.

I'm with the other people who have posted; I wonder what happened to spur this post on (not that it was unnecessary). :D

Date: 2002-12-11 12:00 pm (UTC)Heh, I can think of much more fun ways of tonguelashing. Come closer and I'll show you what I'm picturing...although any of you who know me probably already know what I'm talking about, right?
(Heh heh, I'm such an orally-fixated slut.)

Date: 2002-12-11 11:40 am (UTC)Remeber, I'm *delicate* right now. If it's me, beat me gently!
...whaddya mean it's not all about ME?
Re: Ooob!
Date: 2002-12-11 12:02 pm (UTC)But if you're asking for someone to beat you gently, perhaps we can arrange something.

Date: 2002-12-11 11:53 pm (UTC)...and now my brain if full of images of ways of losing said ring. Wow, this would really disturb those people who inspired my rant. Imagine the horrors I could evoke if I started telling them about all the orifices that could hold a class ring or exactly how the ring could be lost.
Muahaha! An evil plan is born.
