I know a guy who's a sex worker and he has had quite a few clients who are actively homophobic. When he told me this, I made a comment based on the assumption that these guys were closeted gays with internalised homophobia and he said "no, I think it's something deeper than that"

His theory was that it's basically a convoluted humiliation kink, where they are genuinely grossed out by the idea of having sex with a man, but they do it anyway because of the tabooness of it

Oof, that's dark.

Totally this.

I remember reading somewhere long ago about how in Israel gas masks were this taboo thing that came all the way from the holocaust where certain people had it as a kink to wear that with sex, and maybe even inhaling something...

I think its a "natural" part of humanity to have these kinks, and as long as they are done safely I have little problem with it.

The real problem is though that people DO like this, but they hate that they like it. This is where you get a pastor screeching how they hate gays because they are so yuckie, yet they snort cocaine from a gay escort dick. (Yeah, I"m talking about that guy)
