Art/Literary - Psychology | | English term or phrase: Kiddie Macs | "Ad with every possible building block of sexuality,
we all have our various preferences. Who knows
entirely where they come from? Even when we can make
plausibly causal connections between our kiddie Macs
and our grown-up latex wear, our pirate games and our
adult love of bondage, our youthful punishments and
our later ecstasies, there seems a non-linear quality
to them, as if the road we travelled to adulthood
wound through dreamy, subconscious territory and left
unpredictable elements to everything."
