Yeah, it is funny. It's incredible that practically anything can be a fetish, any object, color, sound...anything!
The consenting adult idea is basically what I feel, too. To be honest with you (and everyone else,) I have a problem with the "consenting adult" idea. The problem is I agree with it, but it's not perfect. Some people are so vulnerable (innocently and not), duped, stupid or deranged that they consent to things that can't see or don't care are or will endanger them. Tough luck? To me that's worse than obscene. So then what, who makes the judgment call? Very sticky indeed.
