You replace my more nuanced words with your clumsier words "not about" and then attempt to show a contrast between this clumsy facsimile of my words vs some of my other words. If you're going to try to show a contradiction in what I've said, you'll need to do a better job of describing what I've actually said.

Any sexual act can be performed with other issues used as additional reasons that enhance the pleasure derived from that act, but you cannot enhance something that does not exist, which is effectively what you were arguing. I argue that the domination is something that enhances the pleasure, so what it is "about" still remains the pleasure of gay sex for the guy in jail. The domination enhances what it is fundamentally "about."

That's a complete misrepresentation of my argument. Your version of what you say I'm arguing doesn't even make sense. Why would I even bother arguing that prison sex is no different than gay sex in society? Why would I even be arguing about that? That has nothing to do with this thread.

No, you did not. Citations show what page numbers the citation refers to. You did not do this. You dropped a 37-page document in my lap and said the proof is in there. That's as good as nothing.

That's not my source and you provide no quote or proper citation to prove that what you say is true.

I did nothing for you in the past. You should keep all future personal comments that you have for me (including private messages), to yourself.

You believe you have established this. You have not. You have merely stated your opinions as if they were facts.
