Incest/Taboo?

[HornyHenry]

We all pretty much know what Incest is, but,
What entails Taboo?
What things in a story would qualify a story to be Taboo?
Like, younger person having sex with your older priest?
Sex in public?
NC?

Please give me a few examples of what this category might include.
Thanks

Though society always has it's own ideas on what is considered taboo and what is perfectly acceptable, it generally comes down to an individual's choice (unless the act is illegal). You mentioned sex in public places, which is something many, many people enjoy or in the very least have fantsies about. Sex with a preist? If it's consentual, I can't say it's wrong, though obviously he should find another calling.

However, NC is always wrong, and in the case of incest, you have to realize that it's very rarely occurs in the way it's described in erotic stories. Generally, it's a result of rape, child molestation and brutality.

As for any of these subjects in the realm of a story or fantasy, well, it can't be wrong unless it feels wrong to you. If you don't like what you're reading, find something else. Fiction is just that and just because a person finds incest, NC situations, or whatever arousing in the contect of the written word hardly means that they anymore sick and twisted than someone who enjoys another "taboo" kink.

Not exactly a how to question is it?

 

[HornyHenry]

Are you the moderator?

It is a question about how Lit works.
If you didn't understand it, I'll try again.
In the incest/taboo stories, what does "Taboo" entail.
Simple question. I don't condone the things I mention, but was trying to come up with something that could posibly fit in that category.
Maybe I want to write a Taboo story and don't understand what one is.
So, if you don't have any input, Mary, please go harass someone else.

I think it's acceptable as a How To question, though that's really up to Lady G to decide.

I was curious, so I browsed a few pages of the Incest/Taboo category, and it would seem most of the stories fall into the incest side of things. Personally, I would also consider anything involving fetishes such as feces, necrophilia, pedophilia, etc. as taboo as well as incest.

If you're considering a story, you might want to write it and then ask which category it will fit into best in the Author's Hangout or another writer's forum.

Taboo is a personal decision, although there are some topics which the mainstream population would consider so far outside the norm as to require mental treatments.

For example sex with animals. If you were caught trying to screw a sheep you'd probably be locked up for a psych evaluation.

On a more personal level taboo involves anything which turns you on, but would not necessarily share with your mates over a bottle of beer at the local bar. Guys expect other guys to get turned on by women, but if you're into pre-adolescent midgets of eskimo ethnicity you're not about to tell your buds about it.

If you're a closet cross dresser and hiding it from your wife, you know you're indulging in something taboo to your relationship. Is it harmful? Depends on the subject I'd say.

In my mind the only real taboo topics are nonconsentual sex, sex with children and sex involving extreme violence.

 

[HornyHenry]

apparently,

No one else can think of any valid, legal stories that would be considered "Taboo", so why do we have that category?

Why don't we remove it?

 

[fogbank]

The way I would treat it is as follows: any story in which the characters feel a certain amount of personal shame at what they're doing would be taboo. A priest and a nun having lighthearted, fun sex, for example, would not fit in the taboo category. A priest and a nun having sex, despite their own feelings that it's really wrong for them to do so, for example, probably would fit into the category. Or if a theme in the story is how their relationship is strongly against accepted societal norms, it would fit into the category.

However, the one story that I had in the incest/taboo category doesn't technically contain incest (but is definitely taboo; it does contain incestuous feelings), and I had gotten a couple fairly angry responses to it saying that it was in the wrong category. Definitely a lot of readers like to think of it as a strictly incest category, though.

So what's wrong with a meshugina noshing טרפה with his goyim date?

 

[Goldie Munro]

taboo? its just those things you dont talk about for Gods sake - or write about or want to do ... its just those things innit? oh no im turning into CV!!

 

[Alex De Kok]

The category used to be just 'Incest' , IIRC. Site management added 'Taboo'. Ask Laurel!

Strictly speaking, incest involves blood relatives who are not sufficently removed. In the broader sense stories in the category deal with taboo liasons like inlaws, cousins, and people who have a close relationship that isn't neccissarily blood kin. A setp father could have sex with his step daughter and it wouldn't be incest, since there is no blood tie, but it would be taboo.

We have it there because a few months ago, Manu and/or Laurel decided to tack it onto Incest. It probably should be spelled "MISC" because it seems to be a place to put stories Lit accepts but which don't have a specific category. Erotic Couplings, the biggest category, serves a similar purpose.

Most Lit stories are multi-category. If you whip out, (so to speak) a short one about the Olson twins getting into a whips and torture trip between themselves, should the story go in: Incest, Lesbian, BD/SM, or Celebrities?

Under-age sex, snuff, and animals are out at Lit. Many "taboo" subjects probably fit just as well, if not better, in Fetish (spanking, tickling, pony girl). The most obvious topic that would seem to be right for Taboo is sex with priests, nuns or any other type of clergy.

I have to agree with Colly. Originally, the category was incest but sex with a niece or nephew by marriage or an in-law or stepchild would not fit the legal definition of incest but would be taboo. I have two stories in the category about sex with My Cute Nieces (Shameless plug) and I will write two more stories about them and another that will be titled "My Granddaughter's Ass" (More shameless plugs) By the way, the nieces are both 18 and are younger than the granddaughter.

Aside from tasting bad, won't that sour glass cut your digestive tract and make anal sex a little dangerous?

Re: Re: apparently,

I'd second Burley's suggestion. Sex across racial boundaries has it's own group, but sex across religious boundaries (either because of vows of chastity, as others have said), or because of different faiths, would probably qualify, but that's just a guess.

Species boundaries are covered otherwise - either because one species is fantastic (the 'non-human', category), or animals (not allowed).

Snuff ain't allowed, but I'm not sure about necrophilia (if the object of desire is already dead)...

I suppose there could be a boundary that involved 'things' that didn't qualify as 'toys' - sort of 'sword from the stone' only 'into, instead of 'from'?

I think I go along with the suggestion that this might be to catch subjects that hadn't been anticipated.

Hi,

Just for clarification and general info (and to kill the mood ), the legal definition of incest it a bit broader than just "blood relatives".

Laws vary by state, but generally, a person commits incest if he marries or engages in sexual intercourse with a person he knows to be, either legitimately or illegitimately:

(1) His ancestor or descendant by blood or adoption; or

(2) His brother or sister of the whole or half-blood or by adoption; or

(3) His stepchild or stepparent, while the marriage creating the relationship exists; or

(4) His aunt, uncle, nephew or niece of the whole or half-blood.

In some states incest also includes copulation or cohabitation between first cousins, but the majority of jurisdictions permit marriage between such cousins. Incest is a crime in all states, even if consensual by both parties.

Okay, leaving now to write my incestuous porn.

Luck to you,

Yui

Thanks, everyone

I have a better understanding about what it is and how it got her in the Incest/Taboo category.
CV, I'll have to work one of those drinks into my next story.
Virtual_B, Tabu is OK, but I really loved Ambush much more - not so tart smelling.
And, is that Thai in your post: " èøôä with" ?
I don't know how everyone else sees it, but I see it in Thai, I think. PM me.

Yui, I think you are cute, but it's hard to tell from less than half a picture. How's this? Well, not as good as the half, I'm afraid.

Possibly, but I am certain it would taste better than CV's drink!

That is Yidddish.

טרפה is a Hebrew word meaning "torn."

It refers to the prohibition, or taboo, against the meat of an animal which has been slaughtered after being mortally wounded by wild beasts, and therefore rendered unfit for human consumption.

In regular use it often means only that the meat is not kosher.

See Kashrut

Now there's a challenge Burley - turn that into erotica!

*****************************
She found the body lying in the woods. It wasn't yet cold, but the killer had gone.

She looked over her shoulder; froze to listen; but there was neither sound nor sight af anything animate.

The body had been dismembered and disembowelled. Around the corpse lay remnants.

A slight vapour rose from one.

She doffed her shift and picked up the gently steaming meat.
****************************

OK, erotic horror merchants, who's going to carry that one forward?

Tate,

Anyone...

And I've got a bucket in case anyone doesn't feel too well

But I guess that might fit "Taboo"...
