@Cory - If someone is perverted, they're perverted, so it's not really an opinion, it's a fact. It's not by definition, it is the definition and bondage is a form of sex act.

So, because you think something is perverted or perverse that makes it a fact does it?

Typically when you are defining something you don't use the word in the definition - kind of defeats the point.

While we are at it let's try to define 'normalcy'. Sometimes things are pretty clear cut accord to Mr. Oxford and Mr. Cambridge but it doesn't mean in reality they are.

'Cowgirl' is also a sex act but that doesn't make all cowgirls perverts does it? (I am so sorry, I couldn't resist - :lol:)

PERVERT
NOUN:
a person whose sexual behavior is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable.

"abnormal" and "unacceptable" mean different things to just about everyone...so therefore the quoted definition of pervert has no tangible meaning.

Also, bondage and sex are two different things and don't necessarily have anything to do with one another.

Exactly what I was going to say.
 
Look at me for instance. For the most part I do family, high school, and children's portraiture. It's makes me enough money so that I don't have to starve.

But I've also done several boudoir shoots for various women, as well as having done a photo shoot for an established adult video company. Yeah, it's interesting work, but I got zero gratification other than a nice check at the end of the day.

So am I what you call a pervert? To some yes, others might call me their hero. Who cares. The fact that I do risque photography is something that all of my clients have known and no one has cared in the slightest. Professionalism is the name of the game, and when I'm working, it oozes from my pores.
 
If you asked anybody in my network (friends friends of friends and so on (except for one)) you'd get that this is in no way perverted. Even if you'd call it "perverted" doesn't make it wrong in my book as long as no one gets hurt (that doesn't want to be) it's all good in my book. I would personally talk to the photographer before taking my kid there (then again I have a camera and a lighting setup...) but if he seemed like a decent guy I'd use him as a photographer in a second.

As for having different websites it's merely a way of not offending those people that want children's shots but don't want to see naked people. I would also have to say that I would rather not see pictures of kids when I was looking at naked people it kinda weirds me out...
 
I'm not even talking about boudoir. Everyone wants to talk about boudoir. I'm talking about bondage.

Apparently you're clueless about this conversation.
Sex sells - more money is made on the internet from porn sites than from all the other businesses put together.
That's a basic known fact. You can make a lot of money being a pimp or a drug dealer but I'm not going into either of those business's. Some of us have morals, some don't.
 
"abnormal" and "unacceptable" mean different things to just about everyone...so therefore the quoted definition of pervert has no tangible meaning.
The quoted definition is the definition in the dictionary, I didn't make it up. Because one person perceives something as acceptable or normal doesn't make it so.

Also, bondage and sex are two different things and don't necessarily have anything to do with one another.

If an act is performed to arouse someone sexually, it is a sex act.

I checked out your flickr site, all I see are baby and wedding photos. I'm intrigued to see what else you shoot.

I wasnt defining anything?????
Cowgirl' is also a sex act but that doesn't make all cowgirls perverts does it?
It must be a Canadian thing, I don't get it. Can you elaborate?

The hole in your argument is that normal and acceptable are subjective terms. You are imposing your own values into the argument....just because something isn't normal and acceptable to you...not not mean it isn't normal and acceptable to other people.

You are assuming it is meant to arouse someone sexually. Are you again, imposing your own beliefs into the issue?

If someone falls into a definition, it's fair to say that they are what they are by definition.

Sometimes things are pretty clear cut accord to Mr. Oxford and Mr. Cambridge but it doesn't mean in reality they are.
This doesn't make sense. Think about it. We cant argue the definition of a word because here is the definition of a definition.
Definition
a statement of the exact meaning of a word.

I'll throw this in for the fun of it.

Exact
not approximated in any way; precise.

Seriously. Why else would someone perform bondage? Give me one example why someone would perform bondage other than for some sexual satisfaction.

I don't agree with this.Neither are subjective at all. Normal is a standard which other things are measured.

What is your normal body temperature? If it changed 3 degrees, it would now be an abnormal and you could say that it is unacceptable.

normal

The usual, average, or typical state or condition
