As a Chinese, I often see there are many cases in Europe or the US in which people do a lot of crazy things, ranging from jumping from the highest tower in UAE to go naked in public or to pissing in sex or to shit-eating (scat seems to be a jargon for this act) and the people involved, finding themselves unable to explain to outsiders why they do so, end up with a vague saying "it is fun" or "we are having so much fun". Perhaps being erotic is a kind of fun which can be understood but hard to be admit by some conservative people in othe countries, but to eat poos, how can one find pleasures in that?

It would be interesting if you can share with me your definition of "have fun",don't you think so?
 
Trainspotters are a mystery to me, they occupy the station platform going photographic crazy and diligently noting down serial numbers whilst taking a sip from a thermal flask. Pleasure is unique and personal to the individual and the reasons, assuming there are any, are as innumerable as the stars. You either enjoy something or you don't. I don't understand half the fetishes around here, but they enjoy it so that's all that matters. Why does other people's definition of fun matter to you?
 
My definition is simple. Doing what you enjoy and enjoying what you do.

You do not ask an easy or simple question!:)

There are several "Variables" in the recipe of being in the state of "Having Fun"

The culture one is brought up in.
Family values on are taught.
The principles of religion one believes in.
The general state of happiness one happens to be in at the time. Normal or artificially induced.
Age or should one say maturity?
How Jaded to fun and/or pleasure or as maybe ones tolerance to "Fun" at this point in life one may be.

I am sure there must be ... perhaps, someone with more of an education would care to expound on this subject.
 
Thank you for your kind replies, folks

@dizzyegg: I am just interested in knowing what others think about the question, is there anything wrong? I appreciate your reply.

@FGB: I wonder whether you can share your personal stories in this regard, it would be much fun.

@jezzilee:I envy you in that you can enjoy what you like, but in our cultures we have been taught not to even have any slightest idea of taboos. Look at Chinese or Asian immigrants around you, even when they are in a free country, they cannot help keeping their slavery characteristics.

Other friends, over to you.
 
'Fun' results from adventures. Survivable adventures. Failure to survive is usually not fun.

We rolled our old two-wheel-drive SUV along a narrow gravel mountainous third-world highway, with vast pot-holes in the mucky surface, sheer thousand-meter drop-offs into steep canyons, relentless oncoming trucks and buses, treacherous mud pits, occasional roadblocks -- the works. We had not sought adventure, only a shortcut. We were not young and impetuous. We were discomfited during the experience but we look back upon it as an achievement, like climbing a volcano. We survived. Thus, we had fun.

When I was young, fun involved excess. The excesses often led to not-fun, but such was a by-product of the quest for excitement and sensation, for intoxication by velocity and drugs and sex and power games and greed. Exhiliration! Tingling nerves! Visions, whether real or not! And, in calmer moments, a good game of chess, but maybe with a clock. That's still a power game.

Fun is contradictory. Excitement can be fun. Relaxation can be fun. Hyperawareness and unconsciousness and stages in-between can be fun. Stimulation: intellectual, emotional, physical, spiritual, all these can be fun. Just enough excess can be fun, and just a bit more or less can be very not-fun. I stand on a razor's edge and try not to slip.

Risk can be fun. Risk avoidance usually isn't so entertaining, but one survives longer.

What a question! I can't answer that easily, except to list some things that are fun for me: swimming, doing really hard crossword puzzles, sex (pretty garden-variety, not kinky), dining at good restaurants, getting high once in a great while, singing. What do these things have in common? Only that they're a way of getting outside my usual mind-set and body-set for a while, and creating a space that I'd like to stay in for maybe just a little longer, or go back to.

If you can say "I'm glad I did that" or "I wish I could do that again," then I'd say you had fun.
