I have discussed the health risks of Brown showers and I strongly urge people to never engage in risky behavior that puts their health or the health of their partners at risk. But what I do not do is call people a generalized and demeaning name like “pervert”. There are psychological reasons why people desire Golden or Brown showers and the root of these desires are not necessarily based in perversion. Yes, the act can be perverted if a person puts their life in jeopardy or even worse, puts the life of another in jeopardy, simply for a sexual thrill. When a person has a desire or a fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing that is destructive or dangerous, I am quick to point that out in no uncertain terms. Recently I addressed a question from a man who said his wife has a fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing to dominate and even hurt animals. I did not beat around the bush and I came right out and stated that this desire must never be acted upon. Such a desire is abnormal and perverted because she has no right to harm an innocent animal. I have no trouble separating the act from the person. Certain acts are universally morally wrong and people need to know that these acts are unacceptable and criminal.
