XII. “The Sweetest Taboo”
Because curiosity isn’t dirty—it’s human.
We love to talk about “normal” sex—vanilla, missionary, lights dimmed low. But the moment we wander into less common territory, society slaps the label: taboo.
Taboos aren’t really about what happens between bodies—they’re about what happens in culture. They’re rules of silence. They’re boundaries written by shame. And they’re often rooted more in stigma than in truth.
So let’s name some of the “big scary taboos” out loud—and strip them of their shame.
🍑 Anal Sex
Definition: Penetration of the anus, by penis, fingers, toys, or tongue.
Why it’s taboo:
Historically framed as sinful or “unnatural.”
Stigma around cleanliness and heteronormativity.
Porn often depicts it as painful or degrading rather than pleasurable.
Reality check:
The anus has thousands of nerve endings, plus access to the prostate (aka the “male G-spot”). With proper lube, patience, and communication, anal can be profoundly pleasurable. There’s nothing unnatural about exploring all the ways your body can feel.
🎭 Pegging
Definition: When a person (often a woman) penetrates a partner (often a man) with a strap-on dildo.
Why it’s taboo:
Challenges traditional gender roles and sexual scripts.
Toxic masculinity teaches men that being penetrated threatens their masculinity.
Reality check:
Pleasure doesn’t have a gender. The prostate exists whether or not society wants to admit it. Pegging can be playful, empowering, and deeply intimate for both partners. It’s not about “feminizing” a man—it’s about expanding the menu of pleasure.
💦 Water Sports (a.k.a. Golden Showers)
Definition: Using urine as part of sexual play, often by urinating on a partner or being urinated on.
Why it’s taboo:
Bodily fluids outside of semen are often considered dirty or shameful.
Cultural conditioning around hygiene, disgust, and privacy.
Reality check:
For many, this isn’t about the fluid itself but about power, vulnerability, and trust. It can feel deeply intimate to allow or receive something so raw. With hygiene and consent in place, it’s no more “wrong” than any other kink.
🔗 Cuckolding
Definition: A fetish where someone (often a man) is aroused by their partner having sex with someone else, usually while they watch or know it’s happening.
Why it’s taboo:
Clashes with cultural ideals of monogamy and ownership.
Brings up insecurities about jealousy and fidelity.
Historically used as an insult (“cuck”) to shame men.
Reality check:
For those who enjoy it, cuckolding is about eroticizing vulnerability. Some find pleasure in watching a partner’s pleasure with another, or in playing with themes of humiliation, submission, or compersion (joy from another’s joy). Done with consent, it’s simply another form of roleplay and intimacy.
🖤 So, Why Are These Acts “Taboo”
Because they remind us that sex isn’t one-size-fits-all. Because they challenge the narrow scripts we were taught. Because they blur the line between what’s “acceptable” and what’s true.
Taboo doesn’t mean wrong. It just means silenced.
✨ De-Shaming the Bedroom
Consent transforms taboo into play.
Curiosity is not corruption—it’s exploration.
What turns you on doesn’t need to turn everyone on. It just needs to be honored.
Sexual freedom isn’t about doing everything. It’s about being free enough to choose.
