You might wonder what perversely is. Or even wonder how a person can be perverted? So that which is perversely, as defined in Webster's dictionary Perversely means “1.) To depart from what is right or good. 2.) Stubbornness in opposing what is right, reasonable, or accepted.” So perversely it just means someone does something they know is wrong but does it anyway. Everyone who is human is perverse at some point in their life. Which brings me to the second question a person might ask: “How can a person be perverted?” Being perverted is basically just someone who makes the decision to do an action that is considered wrong in the eyes of the world, but continues to do that action anyway. It's kind of like high school, students gossiping about other students. Those who gossip would be perverse, because they know that talking about someone behind their back is wrong but they continue to talk about it anyway. Another good example of perversion would be a married man cheating on his wife with another woman. This man knows that cheating is wrong, but even though he is told it is wrong he continues to cheat on his wife. So why are people so perverted? Some might say it is the devil corrupting the head, but others might say it is simply human nature. I would have to agree with people who say that being kinky is just another human trait we all have. The reason I think this way should be because no matter how many times I am told that some of the words that escape my mouth are wrong, that will not stop me from saying those words. A man who knew how to write and explain how someone is perverse would have to be Edger Allan Poe. Two of his works that perversely show the... middle of paper...p of the Perverse.'
