I have plenty of "normal" things that turn me on, and a happy, only lightly kinky sex life. But I also have a weird X, coincidentally actually related to the blueberry girl thing (I go for just belly inflation rather than whole body, but similarly impossible to enact in real life). I've never wanted to share this with anyone I know in real life. It's a secret fantasy I indulge alone, and the internet opens up so much fantasy material that I would never have had access to otherwise. In another time, I probably never would have known that there were other people with X's like mine. I know I would have still had the fantasies -- I actually have a piece of writing from when I was 6 years old that relates to my X, and looking back I remember basically fantasizing about it from a young age. But I would have felt alone, and significantly less at peace with it. To me, this argument is almost a corollary to "I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." There are sexual fantasies that I find revolting, or that would be horribly wrong to enact in real life. But that doesn't mean I should go around telling people not to get their pleasure from fantasizing about those things or producing porn about it if it pleases them.

The closing sentence is especially powerful. That’s a phone sex mission statement if I ever saw one. The closing sentence is especially powerful.
