100% — Let’s be realistic. Between two consenting adults is there anything non-violent that is truly that weird? We have a few pleasure bits attached to our bodies. Some people get excited by objects (fetishes). When you step back a level, the window dressing becomes laughably irrelevant. You’ve seen my dick? Oh no. You saw me courting another female? Private, but oh, the horror.... it’s just so silly in the scheme of it all. I would laugh and laugh at anyone that tried to extort me in this way. “Hey team, someone stole some dick picks of mine, don’t look at them if you want eye contact to remain comfortable, lol.” Life goes on. Am I being a little flippant, yeah, but seriously, step back, in 10 years this won’t even be a footnote on his Wikipedia page beyond the fact that he spanked AMI like the bad toddlers they are.

Even violent consenting things shouldn’t be weird.

> is there anything non-violent that is truly that weird? Weird and outrageous things I can think of that people have consented to: - 'playing' with excrement (Gross! this is what the owner of Whole Foods thinks of basic hygiene) - master slave play (Misogynist Bezos ordered this woman to ...) - cuckolding (haha Bezos isn't enough of a man to satisfy his girlfriend himself)

  None of those are weird or outrageous if all participants are enthusiastically consenting adults.

    Which of the sample headlines I gave would not cause outrage you think? Maybe the last one will 'only' cause you to lose the respect and thereby business deals of your peers.

      Outrage? I doubt it, frankly. Max Mosley was literally filmed in 2008 having a BDSM orgy with hookers dressed up in Nazi regalia and even then the reaction was more muted than not. To the extent there was a public outcry it stemmed entirely from the Nazi themes more than the sexual acts themselves. Personally I give that a pass as well, but understand why it would ruffle feathers.

      "I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything." --The President of the United States Everything you mention pales in comparison to the quote above as long as it's between enthusiastically consenting adults.
