Ok, I'd just like to remind everyone that just because you're grossed out by someone else's sexual preferences does not mean that those preferences are sick, or wrong, or that that person requires help. I'm finding that the nature of this thread is starting to sound like we're attacking those who get turned on by out there stuff.

I don't think it's fair to say that there is no reason for people with a fetish to make a video. Why shouldn't they indulge their tastes? Sure it grosses you out, but no one held you down and forced you to watch. Does some deviant sexual behavior indicate mental problems? Where do you draw the line as to just how weird people can get before you cart them off to therapy? When you think about it, the only reason we have sex in the first place is for pleasure (all of the times you've had sex, how many were just for procreation?), so why is it weird that people do it differently? Sure, I think playing with shit during sex is disgusting too, but some people find anal sex disgusting and that turns me on. So who gets to make the decision about what's normal and what isn't?
I agree with you that people who actually rape others or practice necrophilia need some help, but I don't think to have the fantasy or to role play the act indicates a need for mental help. And I don't think people who are into S&M need help either.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but it's not like someone's desire to be treated like a victim stems from something as serious as childhood abuse.
I'd like to add to the above posters, don't feel like I'm attacking you.
I'd like for everyone in the thread to be able a cordial conversation about the topic, regardless of how sensitive it is. And yes, I find the thought of the video disgusting too (I haven't actually watched it and don't plan to), but that doesn't mean that I'm going to deny the right of those who enjoy that sort of thing to watch it. And all of the discussion/arguments I've made in this post are in the situation of consenting adults, not people who are being victimized.
