I would say that's pretty logical but I'm the one who said that, lol. But I can only wonder why that bothers you so much. 🤔

I´ll add some personal views.

Pedophilia always, actual rape (all of what is not consensual) and some others ARE sick pervertions.

Sexual practices that are not vainilla ones, erotic fantasies and so within consensual enjoyment are not perversions. Provided all involved are willing adults and there is not abuse, harm nor severe power imbalance that may distort consent.

Just for me and the kind of relationships a choose to be in, I also need sexual exclusivity for intimacy.

But this is each couple´s choice (but cheating is not), no matter if third ones in sex are not of MY interest at all.

ridiculous

Emotional health is not necessarily associated to intellect.

In another view, neither all sexual kinks are perversions.

I think this is logical and truth. A person of high intellect can see the possible outcomes of their behavior ,and choose to use self control ,if the possible outcome is harmful to another being,including themselves.

We all have sex drives. One would assume a person with high intellect would know there is no shame in embracing it.

maybe you'll find one or two

I don't think so. Perverts can come from anywhere.

Apparently Ghandi was a pedophile, so there's that 🤷‍♂️

Balderdash

No that's wrong lol. Smarter people are better at hiding it tho. More likely to get away with sexual assault and sexually abusing kids and such.

Inaccurate, based upon historical record. Rousseau, Mozart just to name a couple, had some rather eye-opening writings.

That sounds logical to me. They tend to think with the wrong head, focusing way too much on sex. There could be exceptions to that, but that has been my experience with them for the most part.

"Pervert" is a slur and not well defined.
That is to say, your question has no real answer.
