I was very careful with my posts, I said I don't know what's healthy or not and I said S/M was an merely arbitrary example just to get the conversation going. So I absolutely didn't labeled anything or anyone, don't go pulling that card on me. Even if something is a mental disease, psychology doesn't "label" anyone. My question was why in general sexual behaviour seems to be "free" of phsychological explanations, whereas all other aspects of human behaviour are full of them.

I am sorry, your initial comment (the first I quoted) gave me the impresion you were implying that anything outside the norm could be thought of as an illness (or as sick behavior), my words reflect that view, and should not be taken as a personal attack.

I know, I just gave a strong example to start the conversation. That's why I cleared out my views in my next posts. IRL, I'm with you: if it doesn't harm others, then I don't really care. I have no definite opinion on this subject as I lack any psychological knowledge, I'm just theoretically pondering about it with no intention on labelling or offending anyone.
