Kinky is NOT a Diagnosis

In the new proposals for the DSM-V, alternative sexual behavior has been depathologized. The American Psychiatric Association's Paraphilias Subworkgroup's DSM revisions acknowledge that you can be a fetishist, transvestite, sexual sadist or sexual masochist without having a mental disorder.

*wry smile* I don't know how kinky people will see this. I mean, it is a relief that it's not a mental disorder! But is this a step towards "normalizing" kink? *cocks eyebrow* Part of the fun of kink is that we are deviants and sickos...right?

Next thing you know, sodemy will be made legal!
