NSFW- Where does perversion start?

It starts with the things I wouldn’t ever consider doing. Really, that’s it when you think about it.

@janbb Nailed it. It’s a personal call. One person’s perversion could be another’s fun. And in the words of Hawkeye Pierce “You’re not a pervert. You’re never at the club meetings”

@janbb Meh, not always. I would never partake in anal sex or BDSM, but I don’t consider those that do those things pervs.

On the other hand, I don’t represent everyone. It’s no shockaroo that people tend to take issue with anything outside of their comfort zone.

LOL with @janbb‘s definition, then eating filet mignon and flying in planes would be perversions.

Actually, now that I think about it, she’s absolutely right!

@Kardamom I did assume we were talking about sexual behavior but now that I think about it, maybe eating tempeh is perverse.

@livelaughlove21 Maybe I should refine it by saying behaviors we wouldn’t do because they are repellent to us.

Perhaps we should have a rule about not calling people names. That could make disagreements more civilized.

@janbb That won’t exactly work either, things that are repellent to us. Because it would be completely repellent to me, to even think about having sex with some of the people that I work with, some of my neighbors and most random people I see on the street, but I think that most of those people can and do have normal sex lives with the people that they love and are attracted to, so there’s no perversion going on there (well, maybe in some of their bedrooms). The idea of having sex with certain people is extremely repellent to me, while at the same time, it doesn’t seem sick or perverse, just yucky LOL.

I think we have to bring in the idea of things that are both not in the norm, and are potentially dangerous, and are repellent to most people in society. And as we well know, with things such as homosexuality and gender issues, those things were (and still are to some people) considered to be perversions. I think it’s when we took out the being dangerous part (who’s it hurting) that those things started to become more acceptable. They might still be considered icky to a lot of people, that don’t necessarily consider them to be perversions anymore.

Oh, and by the way, I’ll swap you my filet mignon and plane tickets for your tempeh : )

@Kardamom I was trying to make the point, in a slightly subtle -perhaps too subtle – way that I think the definition of what is a perversion is very subjective. I believe that is true.

Relating something to sexual behavior or body parts, repetitively. Or continuously Bringing up sexual activities when it isn’t the current topic of conversation. Or regularly displaying sexual gestures, noises, or innuendos. In my opinion, it has to do mostly with the frequency of which these sexual ideas leave ones head either verbally or non-verbally.

Your best bet is to leave those sexual thoughts in your head, especially around the opposite gender. You can turn the filter down, but not off, when around your friends.

@Afos22 You just described several of our beloved Jellies LOL.

It starts with personal preference. Some people think I’m a perv because I occasionally like to dabble in BDSM.

It also starts when one thinks it’s okay to make incredibly inappropriate comments to another. My bio dad thinks it’s okay to make jokes about my breasts, and to tell me disgustingly lewd jokes or email me “funny” pictures of naked women. He’s a pervert.

Ever since I saw a woman’s behind, I have been obsessed with female butts. It’s easy to develop a fetish. Be careful, guys.

@WillWorkForChocolate I was just gonna hit on you. I will restrain instead.

Let me just say that if perversion actually starts with things I wouldn’t consider doing, then about the only things that are perverted are non-consensual sex (which naturally would include children, animals, and the mentally incapacitated), causing lasting physical or emotional harm, and of course snuff sex.

@Blackberry I was just toggling between this thread and this lovely NSFW photo. If that’s perverted, sign me up!

I agree with @Afos22. If sex is your go to for all conversations, you’ve got a problem.

@Blackberry True that. I’ve been a tad obsessed with sex between two men ever since I saw these two beautiful specimens (NSFW, but not quite as much as @ETpro‘s link).

…oh crap, now I’m drooling. :)

A pervert is someone else, not me, and perversion is whatever that person (could be you) is doing that I am not. At the moment.

@livelaughlove21 I thought that was hot too. There aren’t many paraphilias that fail to ring my bell.

I always viewed a pervert as someone who has a sexual fascination to the point it intrudes on another person. Voyeur, exhibitionist, frotteur, staring at someone while masturbating.

Your question was “where does it START.” I would say that perversion starts with indulging that part of yourself that you know is dark and ugly.

It is difficult to define. I was going to say when you start to become obsessed and think of little else but this also describes being in love which is almost the opposite of perversion.

Oh, where does it start!

Well, on a strictly personal level, perversion starts at my external anal sphincter. Anything past that is fuckin’ weird.

But, thats just me.

To each his own.

When feelings get hurt. When bodies get hurt.
