Taboo. Something that society has deemed unacceptable and forbidden. While the term may not be used often in conversation, if you have been following social media lately, society likes to forbid people from doing a lot of things. Especially when it comes to their sexual actions.
Most people have no clue what “forbidden” really means on a personal level. Not too many years ago, your sexual rights would have constantly hovered if not crossed the rights violation zone. Fortunately, we’re moving in the right direction and becoming more open in terms of our sexuality. Of course, there’s still a pretty good chance your friends and family will never accept the fact that you may have sexual feelings toward your sibling or pet – it’s probably in your best interest to always assume those will be taboos and illegal forever. Nevertheless, there are a few sexual preferences that have evolved from being taboo and secret, to being more accepted and openly discussed at the coffee table, including:
Homosexuality
For decades, those who were attracted to the same sex were persecuted by most people. They were shunned by society and many were beaten and killed just because of who they were and which gender made them excited. This taboo on their sexuality forced many to keep to themselves and ignore what made them happy. Today, while there is still a fight for equality, the taboo that plagued homosexuality for generations is definitely clearing up. At most time, someone’s sexuality will not stop a person from being accepted.
S&M
Inflicting pain during sex wasn’t looked at as a pleasurable experience until the recent years. If it was, no one would ever admit it out loud. That would have been completely unacceptable. Today, we realized that no one has the right to tell people what is supposed to feel good. Sadomasochism has gone from someone’s depraved pleasure to a top hit single with many people wanting to experience the sensation. Sex is no longer hidden behind someone’s shadow. With the openness of sexual experience becoming more and more popular, it’s only natural that certain fetishes were brought to light as well. So feel free to walk in that shop and grab that whip you’ve been thinking about for years.
Masturbation
It’s ok if you blushed. Some people still do. But that taboo is long gone. In fact, some doctors prescribe it as a natural stress reliever. Of course, that wasn’t always the case. Masturbation, while it only produces self-pleasure has always been looked at as someone’s dirty little secret. Even though most people did it, because no one ever wanted to admit it out loud, no one really knew how common it actually was. Some adults testify to being spanked on their genitals as kids for performing such action. It was often never talked about in the house and when you were old enough to not worry about the punishment, admission to it was admission to not getting the real thing. Most cases, peer pressure did not allow that. Good thing people now understand that a reason for masturbation is more than just loneliness and not because we are disgusting people. Keep in mind it will still be weird if your family or friends walk in while you are performing. That will never go away.
Swinging/Multiple Partners
For some people, it’s difficult to express themselves sexually. So many stigmas revolving around sex that people who need to keep a conservative reputation dare not challenge what society accepted. Some people decide to become sexually repressed rather than open about what they want. Not today. Today, some people are so sexually sure, they don’t mind sharing. Removing the secrecy from sleeping with someone other than your partner has allowed many relationships to flourish. The option of satisfying your sexuality completely is now available without most of the ridicule. Tabulifestyle.com openly accepts the fact that it is still considered a taboo, however, is confident to know that their success proves that a significant weight has been lifted. There are many websites to search thousands of people who openly want to be with other people. You will also find thousands of people who openly accept and respond to it. We are far away turning unnecessary taboos into an open discussion. Don’t wait for the courts to okay your union to your dog. But if certain situations were taboos because of some bias opinion, history has taught us that these taboos will no longer be.
