I agree. People are quick to condemn what makes them uncomfortable or confuses them.

There are so many things about humans we don't understand. So much about how we are is still confusing . I learned a great deal more about this when I watched the Bruce Jenner interview.

I felt sad for him and thought how much we don't know and how much we can't understand easily about our own species.

On the matter the OP introduced my view is that no one should ever take sexual satisfaction without the consent on some level from the other and that would be difficult to ascertain in this issue.
