I suppose that of this topic you want to talk because I wrote a topic about friends and If you read the last post your going to discover another topic completely different for that I create this new topic!!

All have differents ways to do everything and this differences sometimes could be seen with bad ayes (not well), but when we are talking about sex what is natural or what is a perversion?

This is so difficult to define but each person has your own opinion, and each culture have its own social view.

For you and your culture what is and what isn't a perverted person?

I think I know what perversion means, but it's hard to express it exactly.

If you want a tecnical meaning of perversion is that:

Arrow A sexual practice or act considered abnormal or deviant

Arrow Perversion is a term and concept describing those types of human behavior that are perceived to be a deviation from what is considered to be orthodox or normal. Perversion differs from deviant behavior, since the latter refers to a recognized violation of social rules or norms (although the two terms can apply to the same behavior).

I think the wikipedia definition by Dixie is the best one.

Quote:
Modern use of the nouns perversion and pervert reflects their nineteenth-century psychological application, inasmuch as they tend to be used with reference to sexual rather than religious behavior.[3] The first refers to behavior and the second to the person. They are generally derogatory and in psychological literature the term paraphilia is now used instead[4], (though this term is itself controversial


Quote:
The verb pervert is less narrow in reference than the related nouns, and is more frequently used with no sexual connotations.[3] One might say, for example, that a modern film version of Romeo and Juliet "perverts" Shakespeare's version of the story.


And it's interesting to know that the word "pervert" can also be used as a verb. Such as: RedRose and beancurd pervert every discussion.

I don't know what is perversion. I think perversion depends in the people who is seeing you. It is not something that you can control. For my grandmother I can be a lascivious person but for my friends I am normal. So it depends on other people.

Hello Dilana. I think I have seen you in another place.... I hope you know where Wink

I think that talking about sex is nor pervert If you do it with responsability and respect but in my opinion I don't like people to talk about it in a vulgar way.. I can't stand it.
