And what about people who are into BDSM? Femdom? "Water sports"? Granny porn? Sex with midgets? Rape fantasies? Character roleplay? Where's the line? At what point does something cross the line from "kink" into "mental illness"?
I generally don't like that kind of thinking, because honestly anything sexual that isn't "vanilla" could very well be called "indicative of a mental illness" and a case could be made for it. Which is why I pretty firmly believe that how anyone gets off should be their own personal business unless they choose to share it.
The truth is, any or all of that stuff only "crosses a line" when the person hearing about it chooses to say, "Ew, that's gross, those people should be locked up." But they've in turn got their own thing that they'd never brag about jerking off to, either. So it's really weird when people get all judge-y. "That thing indicates a mental illness!" Yeah, so does That Guy's thing, most likely. Stones, glass houses, yadda yadda. It's dumb.
