>>28979479If these are indeed a person's emotional needs, then isn't it worth confronting and understanding them through experience rather than denying and rejecting them? Maybe if your core beliefs assume that there is a certain way people are supposed to be, and all of this fetishism is "degenerate", and you expect such behavior to universally lead toward some bad outcome, then it would make sense to assume that simply pointing out that degeneracy is enough of an argument to deter people from taking that course; but if no such "correct" way of being exists, then all you're doing is imposing your values on everyone under the mistaken assumption that yours are the "true" values. Yet, if no such "true values" exist, then nothing is either forbidden or permitted - nothing requires justification. Not hedonism, sodomy, or self-exploration. You'd be like a child hitting his game console because it's "supposed to work" but doesn't. Personally, I love femdom AND maledom. BDSM in general, really. What does that say about my emotional needs and/or my moral integrity? More importantly, why should anyone expect you to know that and on what authority?
