I see a lot of people saying, essentially, "I don't care that anybody knows I view porn; that's totally mainstream". And, yeah, I feel the same way.
But on reflecting on it, I find there's more nuance to it:
I don't care that anybody knows I view porn; that's totally mainstream. But to have people know the specifics of my tastes in porn? Suddenly, I would begin to feel embarrassment; I'd worry I'd be thought a weirdo for getting off to X which is considered a fetish instead of Y which is considered standard stuff, etc.
