I've seen people like that who aren't even joking - they wonder if, or even outright assume that, major elements of other people's lives are somehow related to their sexual fetishes.Not Menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-5821598892725942592009-10-30T11:01:23.448-04:002009-10-30T11:01:23.448-04:00More power to you.

Reading this post, I'm reminded of ...THANK YOU. Reading this post, I'm reminded of a hypersexual ex-girlfriend (not the fun kind) who simply did not understand that, although you can put almost anything in a sexual context, not everything is sexual to start with. In her opinion, if you worked at a shoe store, you were a foot fetishist – which meant that she was free to rub her feet against some unsuspecting salesman's cock while he fitted her. Mention that this was inappropriate and you'd be shouted down for being "sex-negative or prudish". As hard as we tried, my friends and I never ended up being able to explain to her that this was very, very creepy. If I was still in contact with her, I'd point her to this post – once again, you sum it up way, way better than I ever could. Well said, Holly! Keep it coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
