It's perfectly reasonable to want to express your sexuality without wanting other people to come and join in. Obviously, some people like to be sideshow attractions, but those people can go and join a sideshow and not try to make the rest of the world into participants in their kink. Of course, I think that sexuality is a private thing, but there are so many things that some people do ("I'd like you to meet my wife") that'd risk drawing attention from the wrong sorts if others did it, and that sucks, and insisting on creating a world where everything is sexual and for complete strangers to pick like fruit is really not going to appeal to everyone. To me, it sounds like perpetually being fourteen and not being able to say certain innocuous words for fear of having to explain that that wasn't what you meant by "come with me".
