You can't tell whether something is disgusting by judging the act alone. You can't even tell if it's okay if you know the people, because sometimes it can be okay and sometimes it's not. It's extremely difficult to tell from the outside.

I think generalizations like "act X is disgusting" should be avoided. (Unless of course we are talking about personal preferences, which is a different matter.)

I agree completely. Vector had mentioned previously something about a story that he (or she) had heard of a porn director hitting a woman off-screen and making her cry, presumably without her consent, and I meant that it's disgusting that anyone would treat women in that way.
S&M videos don't do anything for me, but I'm with you that there's nothing inherently disgusting about those acts or the people who enjoy them.
