Taboo or not Taboo

dont bother.. as long as you not hurting anyone its noones business

To me taboo means something that no one should do under any circumstances.

Anything else is ok as long as its between consenting adults and no one gets hurt.

Obviously polyamory isn't taboo among the Zo'é tribe of Brazil. Yet you will see most other societies fight the very concept as if it were a life or death matter.

I have my own beliefs about life in general. Also something that is being fought about as a life and death matter in most societies.

You see everyone is both right and wrong. Change doesn't care about either. It just is.

Yet today's societies think anything that goes against the basis of their individual beliefs as a taboo subjects.

Polyamory most definitely attacks the basis of most societies values. And they simply refuse to talk about it. Or just say it doesn't work even when confronted with a very real and working example of polyamory that has at minimum been working for hundreds of years.

taboos are not set in stone... times change and so do taboos

as long as its fun...

I think all taboos must be overcome until no one feels excluded and given that the forbidden becomes attractive when paired with boredom

Taboo is so subjective! When you're open-minded, you could try understanding other people's taboos. As long as there is respect and not hurting anyone, then I'm fine.

When I was growing up in the rural Midwest it was considered taboo for a white man to date a black girl!!

I try not to judge because none of us is perfect and there is no such thing as normal . If something makes me uncomfortable I wont talk about it but dont judge . If we were all the same or what society calls normal what ever they think that is , it would be a bloody boring world .

What is or is not taboo can change greatly from generation to generation as well. Things that were quite common can become out of favor, and switch to and fro

I doin’t care how you interpret taboo, but I’m into it.

There is an ancient symbol that I've been using in my artworks since I first started making art 34 years ago. It is considered "taboo" in today's times.

I think my gut is probably my [i]best[/i] indicator.

Something to consider is why it's taboo. In most cases it's simple as "not normal" or something like that. Other cases are because of the possible health detriments or unseen psychological/emotional traumas.

I agree in the majority of cases that personal conscience should be the deciding factor. But not all cases.

Is what taboo?

It’s taboo because we decided it is!
Is it so bad?
