Is anything acceptable as long as it remains a fantasy?

Or are some things so taboo that even thinking about them is wrong? Are some sexual desires so forbidden by society that you can’t even admit to yourself they excite you?

That’s an interesting question. I guess it depends on our moral upbringing. Catholic are thought to not even fantasize about sex out of wedlock. At some point what they were told turns into their personality, at least for those who follow their religious doctrines strictly.
To be honest I think secular laws and religion regulate our thoughts so much that our whole identities are molded around them.
Apart from gore/violent sex pretty much anything else used to be accepted publicly and privately. With time, we LEARNED to detest certain sexual acts considering physical and psychological consequences that follow.
What I’m saying is, if we didn’t learn from our past mistakes, we’d still be letting ourselves go into CURRENT taboo fantasies.
@eMortal I think far more sexual acts are accepted now than used to be. I doubt the Catholic Church controls the fantasies of most members. As I recall when the pope reaffirmed that use of the pill was a sin, a high majority of those that considered themselves Catholic would continue to ignore the pope.
I think sexual thoughts we find acceptable vary as much from person to person. As do the foods we like or avoid. And vary from country to country, century to century, etc. certainly same sex fantasies or other religion or race are far more acceptable now than 100 years ago.
And sex between young teens less acceptable than a millennium ago.
To me the only reasonable point against any sex fantasy is that someone may become obsessed with living it out. If we use the control that they never actually do it? Seems anything goes.
