I hope that you can accept my feelings, but if you are one of those who feel that what I'm doing is wrong/perverted/immoral... then I accept that you might be right. I have no way of knowing that, but there's a chance you could be right about me.
It just seems like all you can really do in a situation like this, is collect as much data and advice as possible... and then trust yourself. You can't let someone else make a decision like this for you, or ignore your own feelings.
