No. Not saying I'm into all the crazy stuff, but I "see" why some people might even want to go the extra mile. I think it contributes to personal growth. Unless you're allowing yourself to feel guilty because society tells you it's taboo. If you're not harming anyone, and all concerned are adult, willing and happy participants, how is it hindering personal growth?
If you aren't completely free of guilt in doing it, then perhaps that is the way in which it is hindering your growth.
