Interesting topic, what do you think? Are some things that were perversions 30 years ago, no longer perversions today?

I ask this question because I saw a thread that refered to gay people as perverts. Perversion means to deviate from the sexual norm against the orthodox. Seems to me that the Gay lifestyle is a perversion. So it makes me wonder about perversion in general. What is considered a sexual perversion these days?

I know... would've been cool if you could've just spelled all that out in your OP though. Do you think there have been changes over the last 30 years as to what were and now are considered perversions?

I read this online somewhere this week and wrote it down but stupidly did not think to attribute it to the author.
Anywho, here it is:

Should the tolerant tolerate the intolerant? Tolerance and intolerance are diametrically opposed. Intolerance cannot be ended by "tolerating" intolerance.

Yes tolerate. But does there still exist perversion?

Certainly. But gay sex shouldn't be associated with perversion any more than hetero sex.

Since what perversion is, is releative to what is orthodox then is not perversion detirmined by what society in general thinks?

Society seems to be leaning toward gay sex not being considered perverse any more than some hetero sex is. Lots of sex can be considered perverse. Sexual orientation is not a defining factor in perversion.

So what you are saying is that last year it was perversion and next year it may not be?
