    ioo then that makes them functionally useless to have two terms, and it means there’s no way to get specific about whether something is a need to get off, or just something you just enjoy when being kinky.

      You’re not wrong, and I agree that there’s value in distinguishing between those ideas. I’ve just been around a lot of kinky people who insist there’s no difference in the words, so maybe there’s a language shift going on.

        You know what, I don’t think I knew the distiction before. I was just making a drive-by “lol” type of offhand comment.

        Never thought about it that specifically. I will try to be conscious of word choice now.
