I think our culture is going through a bit of growing pains with the internet right now and that, as a whole, society is healthier when more people have exposure to the dark recesses of human desire - simply because it puts it out there and makes it easier to talk about. I think that basically everyone has a certain proclivity at some point for submersing themselves into satisfying our basic human pleasures - eating, drinking, sexing. When we realize just how normal all of that weirdness is then it becomes easier to make an actual choice to not engage.
