Perverse doesn’t only apply to perversions. And passions aren’t limited to the sexual. So here you’ll find plenty of hardcore perversions and erotic passions, but you’ll see that we tend to mix those things in with others that we simply find perverse in the sense of being contradictory, contrary, and in general in opposition to anything blindly accepted as being right or good. And as far as passions are concerned, besides all of the kinks and fetishes we feature, you’ll find that we also talk about anything at all that excites our passions here.
