"oh, gosh, i could never tell anyone i like how my girlfriend smells after three days without showering" versus "i want to experience an erotic vignette of getting turned into a generic sonic the hedgehog enemy but made of latex"

and i know it's not their place to say what's right and what's wrong for me, but

there's that itch in the back of my mind that says i am still not my own.
