lots of taboos

from scottblog
Even with a blog called inner taboo, there are still many things that people consider too forbidden to discuss - subjects that most people don't think you should really talk about in public. Whether because people have strong judgements against them, or think they're a little creepy, or because it is something we're "not supposed to" discuss, these social codes influence the edges of what I post.

Some of them, in varying degrees of fobiddenness, are:
  • rape
  • masks
  • religion
  • sex with minors
  • drug/chemical usage
  • sex with someone other than your partner
  • feces
  • pissing

  • unflattering things about your intimates
  • illness
  • AIDS details
  • sexual experience of people with disability
  • sex between relatives
  • sex with animals
  • asking someone about their income
  • revealing highly-visible professions
  • fantasies not about your partner, when you're with your partner
  • fantasies involving coercion, crime

  • non-condom usage
  • orgies
  • non-monogamy
  • anger or sadness, or "scary emtions"
  • transexual surgeries
  • gender bending
There are things, even here on this blog, that are too taboo, or would make even this liberal readership, uncomfortable. Some I fully agree with, like writing unflattering things about my partners. Others I dance with just because that is our present cultural attitude. Despite our advances in the sexual revolution, there are many things that people still keep to themselves, even though they think about them, or wish they could discuss them.
