I think you intended it to look like some sort of anti-gay rhetoric (didn’t you?) so it’s odd that it could be read as a pro-homosexual statement, i.e.:
“Many think homosexuality is a sexual perversion, but as I shall show, homoeroticism is perfectly ordinary and socially accepted in many arenas.”
It’s odd that nobody has defended Phil with the observation that the description of masochism as a possible sexual perversion was immediately followed by the word “but”.
Update: This post no longer makes sense because the top-level post has been edited. :)
