Briefly (and therefore oversimplified):

There is a moralistic component to discussing these sexual issues that needs to be recognized.

For some, speaking out against prostitution or pornography or woman showing their tits in a protest or men "jerking off" to rape fantasies has a moral component that I think they don't own up to. Or if not moral, than certainly an emotional one that does not rise to the facade of social justice-seeking that some feign.

We get closest to seeing it when we hear people getting "skeeved out" over men sniffing panties that are supposedly from schoolgirls (guess what, they almost certainly are not.) or being offended by women dressing as young girls, or mother-fetishes or WHATEVER....
