....Besides, taboos change. What do you do when you're her Nazi dom and her taboo changes next month to, I don't know, gang bangs?
Well, a lot of edgy activity stuff does seem sort of trendy to me. But I'm on the outside looking in on that stuff, generally, so I try to withhold judgment (or at least be aware that what judgment I may inadvertently make quite likely wouldn't hold water.)
But what we're talking about here, I think, is how desire is perceived and dealt with: it's desire itself that is regarded as perverse (or is perverted.) The "form" that that takes is sort of incidental.
It's just put into whatever form seems fitting for perverse things. Perverse is as perverse does.
That's why I think it's more a function, or a byproduct, of repression.
That's my theory, anyway.
They say (or maybe it's just Freud) that the repressed will return in one form or another. I think this is just a conscious way of giving it form, or of playing with those forms.
When I was young, my best friend was Catholic. One day, we drew pictures of naked women with our crayons. He hid his in a tear in the fabric of the family couch. Thought that was a genius hiding place. But, no; he was discovered right away, and reprimanded strongly, told that was bad, etc. I, more smartly, hid my drawings under a neighbor's porch, so that they might not be so easily traced to me if discovered.
Repression at work!
Another thing that interested me when I first discovered them...This used to be a much more sexually repressed society (advertising and modern communication has shifted things a bit), I think, and yet there were adult shops. I thought it was really weird that these masturbatoriums were allowed to exist.
It's interesting to me how they were sort of tacitly, yet unexplicitly (they were often excluded from listing in telephone books, for example), acknowledged, particularly in the early days.
I'm not sure what it is, but there's something wiggy there, man.
Again, one of those things that 90% of you could give a rat's ass about, but I'd like to see a coffee table book on the subject.
