I think that would be best descibed as you suggest - ie NOT as a sexual act!
Difficult this one, as on a site like this no-one wants to come across as a prude but personally anything to do with defacating and peeing is not in any way sexual although I do know people who like the watersports thing, like most things its a case of individual tastes and because I have just woken up I cant think of anything else that cannot become sexual in one form or other except of course the obvious.
Eager I think that's probably the only thing that would shock me, to be honest. I can't see where people get a sexual thrill from that.
Easy, i've seen the same clip, exactly like you off a "mates" mobile at work. He has lots like it and seems to think its great fun to show them to us all on the night shift. My reaction was the same as yours and i told him i don't find clips like that funny, sexy, or amusing - just disgusting. Fair play, each to their own but its not something i wanna see.
watching a video clip of..a lady having the top of her front bottom pierced made me a tad squemish
I think its disgusting and would expect to be warned before being shown anything of that nature. That said, as long as it is consensual, to each his or her own.
but not my thing!!
The mere thought (even without the visuals) just makes me feel sick!
You can go to jail for showing a shocking video clip to an ususpecting person, in Scotland anyway:

Seems as if this particular scat-vid is doing the rounds at the moment as a mate of mine handed his mobile over and showed it last week. It is very graphic and is beyond the pale. Like others I don't see where someone enjoys either the scat or showing it around on mobiles. There were worse ones too, though not sexual, just very violent, that after a couple I refused to watch any more.... sickening.
To answer your original question though, and to tie it in with the mobile vids, something that really turned my stomach was a vid of granny sex. The vid started out at the legs which looked fine... and moved up to the face, and she could not have been under 80... I am not making any judgement about geriatric sexual rights.... just for me it felt completely wrong to even look at it.
I agree that scat videos really are appalling - short shrift given to one "potential" who emailled me pictures saying they were really funny - but I've not actually seen this one.
The worst I've seen is a Japanese woman dressed as a school girl who must have been given an enema or something because the product looks just like liquid. She's wheeled her back so her arse is pointing in the air and she's shitting into her own face.
I'm all for porn where the people are enjoying themselves but it really does make you think about people who are so desperate to put food on the table they'll do something as degrading as that.
It's a very individual thing (what you find disgusting) although there does seem to be a general consensus here with regard to Scat (no-one's yet come in here to say they get off on it).
I hired a couple of German porn videos once. I couldn't watch them after the first few minutes. The first one showed a woman being so nastily abused she had shat herself and was clearly NOT a willing participant. I'd guess she was a junkie judging by the state of her arms and the desperation in her eyes.
The second was a guy tied in a squatting position to the forks of a forklift truck. The forks were being raised and lowered so that he was being impaled on, and fucked by, the fist and forearm of a heavily tattoeed and skinhead hulk standing below him. There was shit everywhere. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
They both made me feel quite sick and I wondered how anyone could possibly find anything so gross and repulsive sexually exciting.
They were not at all what I had expected and I hope never to see anything so vile in my life again.
I can't find an appropriate smiley to end up with except maybe :huh:
There are very few things that truely shock me that I've seen, although no doubt I've a lot to see, so who knows. However there are plenty of things that I see and hear that dissapoint me, that thinking about it, should actually shock me, but they don't... rambling a bit but bare with me... The reasoning from my point of view is that I'm no longer shocked at certain things because I've become de-sensitised through exposure to various graphic images over the years, scenes of violence, sex and other subjects that were not common place in the past, are now everyday images, through various medias such as television, video games and the web, that are available to me if I choose to watch them and on occasion are foisted upon me without prior warning or knowledge. This de-sensitising is a gradual and more progressive process, not always heinous or with necessary motive, but it's there and in my view helps to introduce things into society that most of us find abhorent initially, but shrug a shoulder to, with a 'thats life' view eventually.
I am old enough to remember when an image of lets say, a bomb blast shocked me, images of bomb blasts no longer do that, why? have I suddenly thought it a justifiable act to blow people up for a cause? no, the answer is that I've seen so many images that I'm at most dissapointed, but no longer shocked.
In your opening post you give an example of something that shocked you, because it's something away from, the norm, something your not exposed to, something you rarely see, but if it was an image that you saw more often then I'm guessing that the shock factor would go away, you might still not like it, but it wouldn't haver the same effect.
I guess what I'm getting at, is the noisy groups that clammer for additional freedoms, to view what we want, when we want, with shouts of 'freedom of choice' 'use the off switch' really don't understand the impact. I choose, when I can, not to watch images of violence, they are upsetting, but despite my attempts to distance myself from that aspect of life, I find it impinging on me more and more, not only through the various media, but through life itself and when I see it on the street in real time, am I shocked by it?..nope, I shrug a shoulder and say 'thats life' when in reality I should be shocked, outraged and want something done about it, but I ain't, why? because I've seen it all before.
I choose to distance myself where possible, from people that have poor social skills, but there's the rub, the social skilling or lack of, isn't all about their own personnel abilities, it's as much about the social acceptances that we grew up with. Do I particularly like sitting in a bar and hearing someone use expletive after expletive...no...whats the chances of my sitting in a bar and not hearing it? still pretty good at the moment if I pick my establishment, but by no means garuanteed and the reason behind that? I think it's more acceptable, in other words we are no longer shocked by a foul mouth to the extent we were in the past because we hear it so very often.
There is of course the other side of the coin where we need to be shocked, to be stimulated into action. We need de-sensitising to prejudices and bad practises that are inherent within us, the problem is who is to be the judges of that, who is gonna decide what barriers should be broken down and which should remain, which kinda makes these things a bugger of a choice, but what I'm convinced about is that the clamour for total freedom of choice is as damaging as puritanical censorship, with the end result being no fucker knows which way to turn.
My own utopian view is that the images you describe probably ain't the sort of thing I would want to see on a billboard, but then you can bet your bottom dollar that some equally fat middle aged bloke said that about portraying images of non married or non hetero couples having a sexual relationship on the television 40 odd years ago. All in all, what ever it is that might shock you now, I'm pretty sure will, in a few years time, be less of an impact and with reference to the act you described who knows, you might just be ordering one with sauce and nuts from your local Mr. Whippy because there just might be a greater acceptance.
...davej who isn't shocked, just mightily dissapointed at times....
Good God Dave - what a post!
and how true all that is.
It is such a shame that we do become so desensitised - difficult to know where it will all end.
