Why is homosexuality accepted before other fetishes

[Pac-Maniac]

I don't get it. If people are accepting gays, why aren't they accepting other fetishists? Pedophiles and zoophiles are universally hated, coprophiles and sadomasochists are considered weird and creepy, etc. But homosexuality is accepted. Why are people still so prejudiced? They are just accepting the most popular fetishes while forgetting about all the people whose fetishes are less peculiar. I don't get.

[Ridg3]

I think that zoophiles and pedophiles are more peculiar than homosexuals. Just saying.

[T-nex]

The only 'fetish' which I don't agreee with, which isn't even a fetish, is Pedophilia. Pedophilia is a mental illness.


Everything else goes under 'Your kink is not my kink, but it's ok'.. as long as whoever is involved consented.

[STM]

Jesus, if paedophilia is a fetish then they're troubled people, as it is, all paedophiles deserved a ten minute break behind the chemical sheds.

I think homosexuality is well, my opinion isn't important but I think so many people carry an opinion that it is wrong is down to religion and that well, people don't like the idea of men shoving their cocks up other guys arse holes. To be blunt. I don't mind that much but I think its best kept to themselves.

Yet lesbians are hot.


I never understood why gay guys should be shunned, while lesbians are more widely accepted.

But then again, its probably because guys are more visually stimulated and yada yada. I don't know.

Either way, its no ones business if a guy likes to stick it in another guy. If they like it, just dont look. Unless you're a voyeur.

[STM]

I agree, I hold lesbianism in pretty low standings as well, I don't really touch the stuff with a stick much.

Homosexuality isn't a fetish. It's a genetic disorder, and it's generally accepted because it generally isn't harmful to anybody.

[Bullet Magnet]

Fetish (n) a form of sexual desire in which gratification depends to an abnormal degree on some object or item of clothing or part of the body; "common male fetishes are breasts, legs, hair, shoes, and underwear"

Something sexual or nonsexual, such as an object or a part of the body which arouses sexual desire or is necessary for one to reach full sexual satisfaction.

I can't see how this applies to homosexuality without also applying to heterosexuality. The word doesn't appear to apply to sexualities at all.

[Pac-Maniac]

But still, homosexuality and other "abnormal" fetishes, ie pedophilia, zoophilia, etc. are all disorders. So why do people accept some but not others?

[OddjobAbe]

Again, homosexuality isn't a fetish. Fetishes are components of homosexuality, but the same applies to heterosexuality (as Bullet Magnet pointed out). A person's sexual orientation is dependent on the development of their genes, not on an odd psychological "turn-on".
People are tolerant of things that generally do not harm anyone, very much like homosexuality. Paedophilia, zoophilia and the likes are harmful to someone/something to some degree, hence it is necessary to make people affected by those things refrain from acting on their urges.

I just explained that it's not a fetish, and your immediate response is plough on in that vein regardless.

Perhaps you would like to have a go at "disorder" yourself, or it's synonym "disease". We'll wait.

[Pac-Maniac]

That doesn't answer my question.
Homosexuality is irregular.
So are the fetishes I listed.

[OddjobAbe]

Homosexuality is irregular, you're right. So are the fetishes you listed, certainly. But I did answer your question, which was:

So why do people accept some but not others?

To which I replied,

People are tolerant of things that generally do not harm anyone, very much like homosexuality. Paedophilia, zoophilia and the likes are harmful to someone/something to some degree, hence it is necessary to make people affected by those things refrain from acting on their urges.

EDIT: I apologise to Bullet Magnet - I didn't realise he'd posted.

Yes, but homosexuality is two wo/men having consented sex together. Why would a child or a fucking rhino agree to have sex with a wo/man. They wouldn't, therefore they would be forcing themselves upon someone and that is called rape. Rape is illegal you know. If the child consented to have sex then the adult should not be taking advantage over someone who has no fucking clue as to what's about to happen, that's just as bad.

Even if they weren't planning on doing anything physical, just imagining and no-one was hurt... I actually don't know what to say it's too much of a razors edge to judge what level of pedophilia is acceptable so I'm going to say burn all the fuckers at the stake.

[Pac-Maniac]

I'd expect homosexual rape to be more common than heterosexual rape since heterosexuals are less likely to be rejected.

[Pac-Maniac]

Also, other fetishes like BDSM are looked down upon almost as much as more harmful ones (ie pedo/zoophilia)

[T-nex]

I certainly wouldn't want to befriend a pedophile, but if they know what they think is wrong, and they don't pursue it, I hold no grudge.

[Ridg3]

I'd expect homosexual rape to be more common than heterosexual rape since heterosexuals are less likely to be rejected.

I'd expect you to be wrong.

[OddjobAbe]

I'd expect homosexual rape to be more common than heterosexual rape since heterosexuals are less likely to be rejected.

No they aren't. Homosexuals make up quite a large demographic. Not as large as heterosexuals, but the very fact that homosexuality is so widely accepted in Europe indicates that homosexuality is a reasonably common phenomenon.

Also, other fetishes like BDSM are looked down upon almost as much as more harmful ones (ie pedo/zoophilia)

I wouldn't say so. It seems to me that people would often react with surprise and maybe confusion upon learning about BDSM, but very rarely violence. I suppose they leave that up to the participants.

[Bullet Magnet]

I'd expect homosexual rape to be more common than heterosexual rape since heterosexuals are less likely to be rejected.

What sort of nonsense is this? If I was raped every time I turned down another guy's advances I'd be a flapping bag of a man by now. Besides, rape is about far more than sexual gratification. It's about power, and affirming it. Some completely straight rapists are as likely to rape a man as a woman, and do. This behaviour is present throughout the animal kingdom.

Also, other fetishes like BDSM are looked down upon almost as much as more harmful ones (ie pedo/zoophilia)

I don't pretend that our culture is particularly honest and open about sex across the board. Many of us have it drilled into us that sex is wrong and dirty unless done in a very particular way, and let's not pretend that this is anything but an artefact of religion.

[Wings of Fire]

All fetishes are mental disorders, pedophilia is no different.

Now child molestation, that there's a criminal offense.

[scrabface]

right

I find it wrong to blame someone simply because he is a pedo. this means, she/he feels sexually attracted to kids. It's not like he chose to be a pedophile.
but when it comes to an abuse or even the slightest advance, that's something to judge.

[Pac-Maniac]

Well people do blame other people for simply being pedos/zoophiles/even other fetishists that DON'T HARM ANYONE yet they accept homosexuals.

[Wings of Fire]

Because homosexuality isn't a fetish.

[moxco]

I don't get why everyone has a problem with my foot fetish.

So can we please spell paedophile right.

You misspelt pædophile.

[STM]

Fucking Yanks.


And you if we have too many gays we'll have no babies and no humans. Lol, said Hitler...ehem.

[THE ALMIGHTY RAISEN]

Why are people even replying to this guy? He is obviously just crying out for attention because he has no friends

[Havoc]

I love this guy.
