I really dislike a section of this : "While some might have good deeds on their minds as they slip inside their suits, others acknowledge that there is something sexual about the practice."

Being sexual is a bad deed now?

I interpreted "good deeds" as being in reference to the help with baby buggies in the paragraph above. I don't think contrasting people getting their kink on with that implies getting their kink on is bad.

I see what you mean. Maybe it's the phrasing that made me uncomfortable, if they had included an 'only' in there then I think it would be more clear (ie while some have only good deeds) or primarily, or something. The way I read it now is 'while some people want to good deeds, other people don't - they want to be sexual'.

Maybe I'm being too sensitive about it. I am often wary (especially in Japanese media) of sexuality being portrayed as a negative thing.
