Taste
Preference
Kink
Perversion
Fetish

Why does any of this matter?

Answers should be shared with the class.


Addendum: not intending to be opaque, and failing in that.

Why do these things seem like a progression, to me, from nonpejorative to highly suspect? Additionally, why am I so willing to assign the more "suspect" meanings to myself?

Hopefully that adds some clarity.

see, for me, "fetish" is far less suspect than "perverted."

kink is liking something a bit beyond the ordinary.
fetish is a devotion to something beyond the ordinary
perversion is a conviction that your desire should be satisfied by others, regardless of whether or not they want to satisfy it
