To you perhaps, but only because it doesn't work for you. I think this is where the disconnect is, you're trying to understand this, but since your body doesn't get that "feeling" from it, the understand simply isn't present. Remember, what turns you on isn't always something you can explain, it is something that just does.
I don't understand why some people are turned on by extreme fetishes, and if they were to try to explain it, I wouldn't get it because my juices don't flow into those thoughts. This is the same thing that is happening here. You simply can't understand because it doesn't work for you.
