Mind's Eye Re: Disgust

Interesting question. Why do I find other people`s farts, especially when they stink and their shit disgusting, but I do not find my own farts and shit disgusting, no matter how much they stink? Same thing goes with vomit, wounds and any disfigurement. Why do I find eating insects, worms, eyes, heads, chicken feet and blood too disgusting to try, but enjoy eating chicken legs/wings/neck, fish and crabs?  Why do I find seeing on TV real killings disgusting, but not faked killings? Why can I not step on an insect because of the crunching sound that is produced, but have no trouble swatting a fly? Why do I find certain animals like alligators, spiders, etc repulsively ugly unless I believe that they are babies, and then I find them attractively cute?   Why did I find urine therapy and the taste disgusting in the beginning even though I believed it to be beneficial and it tastes just like warm beer? Why are people disgusted by me just mentioning that I drink my own urine? Why do I find just the thought of eating crunchy insects or slimy worms disgusting, even though that I know that they are tasty and healthy, but have no problem eating crunchy insect like looking chips or slimy worm like looking spaghetti, even though I know that they are not the most healthy thing to eat. Why do I find tongue kissing a turn on with women, but the thought of doing that with my mother or with a man, especially one with a beard, revolting?   Why????
