You're kinda proving my point. The reason why you don't see it as kinky is because it's so common. If it wasn't common and normalized, people would see it as a kink. I'm kink-positive; I don't have a problem with that. What I find interesting is how accepted and ubiquitous this one kink has become, and I think we have porn to thank for that.

It's not really a modern thing as such either. The kama sutra features a ton of it, including gay and lesbian versions.

Well, that isn't really surprising. I think you would have a really hard... er, difficult time finding a new kink. People have been horny for as long as there have been people, and every imaginable configuration has been tried out thousands of years ago. Except for vibrators or any of the other modern sex toys? Because those didn't exist before.
