Wanted to get input on this because either I'm going crazy or Slate is. This woman explains how her son has a fetish for latex gloves and the advice given in the column is that he should receive psychological help and this could be very serious:

Has anyone heard of fetishes being treated in this way? Aren't they supposed to be something cool and kinky worthy of exploring? Am I the only one fed up with anything "different" being a bad thing?

Mr. Hungwell, we are with you on this.

As you know, we are a married couple escort team, and when we first went "public", we had far more "haters" than advocates.

Like you, we are occasionally reminded and frustrated with those who are so closed minded that they would rather attack anything outside their narrow little comfort zone instead of tolerate, defend, celebrate and perhaps even embrace the principals behind this hobby, which is our rights, our freedoms, and to each owns ability to be different, unique and special (even if it's not their cup-o-tea).

It just goes to show that human sexuality is far from being wholly understood and accepted by the masses.

However, we have been very lucky to have met many mature, stable, considerate gentleman who give us hope, encouragement and insight not only to lift us above these little storms, but fill our sails with vision, passion and fervor to carry onward with even more resolve.

Many of you are here on this board - and to you, we applaud you.

Hung, I'm going to marry my girlfriend, I have 2 boyfriends, and I'm a sexworker.

And I'm very glad that I'm one of the very few who have friends who I can talk to openly - even commiserate.

I thought slate.com was a left-leaning "open" type of publication. I'm shocked that they'd condone advice like that.
