The danger with this is, if anything goes in terms of fantasies, how can we legitimately separate this from e.g. fantasies about children? If it’s cool to fantasise about rape and abuse, how can it not be cool to fantasise about a 9 year old child being abused or an animal being abused? I know that those who defend the ‘anything goes’ attitude will say ‘of course there is a difference’ but I can’t really see one, unless you are suggesting that rape is not as morally reprehensible or something (in which case, why isn’t it?).

This won’t end well. Sexual fantasies should be held to the same level of scrutiny as other fantasies or thoughts. If you get off on being violent to another person, you’re still a violent person. You don’t get a get out of jail free card because you say it gives you a hard-on.

I am all for kink shaming.

NotBad yeah it becomes a big problem when you bring it into the workplace eg by wanking in the toilets and filming it and basically demanding that it be accepted. Private thoughts can never be policed and you can think what you like. However, if you share your thoughts with others, you must accept that they may feel revulsion and are fully entitled to do so without being accused of ‘shaming’ (probably the most annoying word in the world).

Leaving aside the ethics of porn and its variations, no one would ever be kink shamed by anyone if they just kept it to their selves.

Sarah admits that she doesn't readily share the kind of porn she's into with others, saying she understands why people would kink-shame her.

Why does “Sarah” think people want to hear it? I would bet the majority of people aren’t “kink shaming”, they’re just fed up with being exposed to way too much narcissism from a person. Just shut the fuck up! I don’t want to hear or see anything about your sex life, and if your “kink” is to tell people who aren’t interested, then I will definitely shame you for that.

Ergh, I judge the shit out of anyone who gets off on watching someone else being abused. She should definately be ashamed.

As for insest porn that really should remain a taboo, pervy step parents should not be encouraged.
