  1. the domain name of this site “sexual racism sux” is itself an expression of negative preference. i would be far happier if i could see the site hosted on a domain which “walked the walk”, e.g. expressed a positive rather than a negative preference.

  2. i can see that someone might be damaged by all these statements of negative preference. but is there another side to the coin we are not seeing? for example, is there a risk we might damage the self-esteem of people who (through lack of development or education) still happen to hold preferences, by asserting our own preference against preferences? will this message itself leave anybody feeling diminished? you can probably see where i am coming from with this, i do not want to feel i am committing hypocrisy by “discriminating against those who discriminate”, or being “prejudiced at prejudice”. i wonder if the overall message could be improved to guard against this hidden danger?

cheers guys,

The more specific we make our sexual preference requirements, the more we lose touch with reality. That's just what it's all about. Distraction from reality. Sexual fetishes are an extreme example of this. Requirements that are just far too specific. If you were genuinely interested in someone, you'd just do whatever worked compatibility wise. Basically, the more an individual limits his or her outlook, the more they close themselves off from "potential" in general.</p> It’s obviously about individual psychology.
