You know what this seems like to me? Being naked.

I would never, ever walk around naked in public. But to let my doctor see me naked, that's OK. I think the dividing line is professionalism, and respect. Doctors see people naked for a living, so they're not getting a thrill out of it. And they, through years and years of study, have aquired a serious respect for the human body.

wptw (and his friends) have that professionalism in the way they acquire their knowledge. And they have respect in the way they choose to share it.

Meaning, I'm OK with a few people knowing our secrets -- if it's for scholarly purposes, and they respect our desire to keep things secret. It's a world away from telling your best friend, cousin, and boyfriend all about your ritual.
