I didn't think "teshaqtzu" was hitpa'el. I would have taitched "don't
be disgusting". Being, not doing, but also no emphasis on one's own
impressions of what is or isn't disgusting.

But your examples of pushing oneself to do something disgusting "on
a dare" of because you're hungry enough do address my question about
when would a subjective standard of gross ever apply to a person's own
actions. I pictured a person always redefining disgustingness before
acting that way.

Tir'u baTov!
