Taboos?

As much as people would like to think that they are completely open minded, this just isn't the case, and all they are doing is fooling themselves. Everyone has something that they consider to be "disgusting" or "wrong". This is normal. It's when those thoughts and taboos turn to intolerance and hate that we have a problem.

For instance, one of my taboos is bondage. I just don't understand why whips, chains, and gags can be a turn on. But I would never consider myself above those who practice it, and I wouldn't ever think to force them not to do something they enjoy.

What about you? What's taboo for you?

I have a strong taboo against people named Bolol. I hate that fucking name, it sucks, and I wish everyone with that name died.

Well, if you are talking about sex, anything involving animal and underage persons. And some things only belong in the toilet.
Otherwise, I'm game.

Homosexual male sex. I don't get it, nor do I want it. Still, different strokes for different folks I guess.

Beastiality is a weird one too.

Yeah, yeah that covers me for sex.

IN general, eating babies is bad, setting people on fire. yeah those are bad.

Infantilism is pretty sicko. Anal sex of any kind creeps me out.
But I don't care what consenting adults do with themselves, so bust out the diapers and lube if that's what gets your balls rolling.

Fat chicks, the mere thought of it makes me disgusted, and "I Like Big Butts" makes me nauseous.
Other taboos:
Preteens, anything to do with toilets and things meant for toilets, and animals.

As already stated, anything involving fecal matter and urine, preteens and animals. Also, an overabundance of genetalia piercings.

There are other taboos that aren't sexual in nature. What about food or social?

hm. is this just the non-native speaker me not grasping the subtlesties of the english language or did that OP really not specify this to be about sexual taboos? it just strikes me as odd that there were only sex-related answers..

oh wait. i'm on NS, right?

alright. so let's break the trend. napkins are a total no-no for me. i really don't know why, but i just cannot physically bring myself to touch those. and i shiver whenever i see somebody touching them. but i am truly accepting if that's what you feel comfortable with.

I won't eat anything unless I am assured that something suffered so that I could eat it.
I also refuse to associate with people who wear "ironic" clothes. Yes, I get it, it is funny to see an adult wearing a shirt about them being an accelerated reader. Now put that goddam thing away.
I'm not quite sure if those count as taboos, but I just wanted to rant about the clothing thing because of this idiot I have to deal with every couple days. Fucking college kids, always getting on my goddamn lawn!

Well, the only taboo that the OP gave in the OP was of a sexual nature, so . . .

I think insulting God is kinda taboo. If you where to say God is a fag people might step aside less they be smited along with you.

I don't really know...I can't think of any social or food taboos...oh wait, that's not entirely true. I won't eat air or land carnivores or scavengers. Except bear...but bears are omnivorous, and we try not to pick the ones who forrage in garbage heaps. Water carnivores and scavengers I'm fine with...crabs, salmon, and so on. Um...yeah...I'm sure there are more, but I don't think about them much unless they come up. Notice I managed to keep this post non-sexual?

ah, come on, stay in the spirit of the thread now. don't say it's sick. say you don't like it, but are tolerant in every aspect. we're nearing christmas, after all. all is nice and cuddly, the snow is falling, the candles are radiating a warm cozy light..who are you to say anything's sick now?

i'm really proud of you, too. *pats sinuhue, checking for hidden napkins carefully*

well, i'm vegetarian, so that might count as a food taboo. though i'm not the kind to convert other people to it. see, i just patted a carnivore, so it's all good.

social taboos? hmm. i don't know whether this qualifies as one, but..i'm really self-conscious about bathroom noises. like, when i was in school, i always waited till the end of break when nobody else was in the bathrom no more until i went. i've been chronically late to class, but i just couldn't get myself to relieve myself, therewith making noises others could hear, while other people were within earshot.
i still hate it big time, but now i share a flat with some folks and we have one bathroom only, and i have to find some way of getting over this..soon. it's getting very energy-consuming to find out at which times nobody's home so you can use the bathrom safely, you know.

The simple solution is to lock yourself in your room and piss out the window.
Lol, watersports
Just makes sure you lock the door, and open the window.

Sexual: scat, rape(!!), blood/cutting and kids.
social: Hippies/peace knicks (man I cant stand people who are overly wussy)
food. Organ meat.

Sexually? Really, nothing at all, except people who eat feces. Hey, whatever, if that's what you like. But it's unhealthy, and I can't comprehend how someone could physically stand to eat it. It's just.... sheesh.

Socially, I have a hard time tolerating people with silly taboos. ;) Sometimes I just want to grab people and yell at them to grow up and stop being squeamish over stuff that doesn't effect them at all, and isn't anything to get upset about.

my windows don't open more than just this tiny bit that is barely enough to stick my hand through. so..not an option. plus, they all face the street. chances are random bypassers would hear (and see) me then, too.

and I forgot to add. People who will not try another brand of car/differnt operating system, ect. and for operating systems, it goes both ways. I despise windows people who wont try Linux, linux people who wont admit that windows is better for some things, and mac people who seem to pray to the mac god and put down both windows and Linux (and then I love people who use unix or BSD or other such exotic systems)

The big five are sex with family, the dead, children, other guys, and anything involving poop. Most of the rest I handle on a case-by-case basis.

Socially, I seem to be most frequently miffed when I hear hipster snots lamenting anything because it's popular or because the artists "sold out." Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's now somehow not good, you twits!

I'll need some time to think about it.

I suppose until I've had more thinking time, I'll just go with illegal sex. I certainly don't see any sexual deviancy as worth breaking the law for. Plenty of good legal deviancies to try. :)

I've never had an orgasm that was worth risking jailtime for.

This topic is kinda bizzare- to paraphrase the first post: People say they're OK with everything. But they're not. What is something you're not OK with, morally?

Eh- murder, rape, and incest are high on my list.

One weird taboo is that you shouldn't use anything that's not new. If it's food, or something that easily wears out, this makes sense, but it stops making sense if applied to everything. Like, you shouldn't take and use perfectly OK tables that an university with too much money just threw out, because it's "not new", or you'll be "poor". It's insane.

In the West, female genital cutting.
