I look forward to the day when people would read the earlier insult and be 
perplexed as to why it is a slur at all. In the same way as "your mother 
wears army boots" has become a joke slur, not taken seriously.

So long as it does nobody any harm, and all participants have consented, 
what one adult chooses to take into their mouth is nobody else's business 
and certainly no reason to look down on them.
