OK, I guess I am a little confused here. The question posed was of a thoughtful, rather serious nature. The thread became, as you say, lighthearted, which is fine, I guess, but as I said before, this is a genuine question posed by a caring individual so it seems rather appropriate to respond with equal measure.
I have no problem with the humor, I do find it to be in bad taste but thats neither here nor there. I am just trying to provide a different angle from which this could be viewed. The many responses with the words "crazy", "weird", "bitch", and "fetish" beg for a more sober, serious approach. I certainly do not claim to be right about anything I say here nor do I want to appear self-righteous but, yes, I do want to provide a more restrained, sober analysis.
My thoughts on this are just as valid as yours or anyone else so I don't understand why you are telling me what to do, what to say and what not to say. It further complicates matters by you saying:
"here on bluelight, all of us only sees the world through the filter of their own culture. yes, its a shame, but thats the way it is."
First, "everyone" on BL does not see the world through the filter of their own culture. Do you know everyone on BL? This is one thing I can say with a fair amount of confidence. It also sounds pretty self-righteous on your part but I guess you know the ropes better than I.
As anywhere else, people are, of course, still filtered (this term is problematic but I'll use it anyway) but attempt to bypass or breakdown this filter and at least try to think about how this filter alters and/or influences their view and understanding of the world. This is pretty important, I would say, for those who are interested in trying to sort out how their culture influences how they perceive other(s) way of thinking. This is how intolerance of others sexual preference, religious views and ethnic background can be challenged.
I understand what you mean by postmodern ethics, but you might consider rephrasing that, throwing in the term "ethics" just complicates things. There is no philosophy here, only cultural study, and I do take issue with being called a blowhard.
I have not attacked anyone here, unless you are referring to me calling people stupid and racist! I am personally offended by this statement even if it is a joke.

I will continue to challenge stupid, racist statements like this by saying so and providing serious analysis where it is due. I could, of course, care less if it "sullies" your good time. So just let the rest of us blowhard philosophers float our postmodern etchics as you can certainly shoot the shit and be racist, sexist and "polygamist". The ladder of which you might want to seek a definition for as your usage is incorrect-it refers to one who takes more than one wife!
In other forums on BL like ADD and psy drugs, when someone poses a serious question they are met with a load of genuine responses. This seems to be in an effort to reduce harm from ingesting certain chemicals and to keep the threads on-topic. If they deviate even an inch, the thread is moved, a mod steps in or it is closed. I understand that this forum is different but, again, the original question was genuine and serious. The thread became lighthearted because people are incapable of taking this seriously, so I wanted to contribute in an effort to actually try to help the original poster.
please do not be offended by my asking, but you know if you have asperger's or a mild, or high functioning case of autism? again, i mean no offense by this but this would help clear up a lot in my mind. i've got nothing against you, buddy, but i think its just your tone that really irks me. since you appologized though, i wont have to ha}{0r you into the stone age! again, with the humor. 
its not something u would break it off for and she will tell u eventually why she has this fetish but that will come with time and trust . and birthday pressy time u no what to buy mini freezer that no food or drink can get anywhere near those trillions of tad poles hey good point is the longer u there and become a couple the pill sounds like a good option ok fuck another thought now her runnin 2 kitchen grabbing coffee mug and waiting4the milk2 come out of the bottle .
