trying to explore situations where sex happens and it's forbidden or taboo. ...

there's something about this kind of theme that I find really provocative.

Anyone else?
 
Like what? If you haven't noticed, the concept of incest has been done, to death, so what would be more forbidden than that?
 
done to death

you make a good point, but I'm not really talking a subject area so much as I'm referring to 'situations'

it could be incest, adultery, or interracial... the point is the setting and the people...

it's precisely because incest has been "done to death"---for example---that I ask this

know what I mean?

thx
 
If you were going to think situationally I would think you could do a lot better than the standard faire of incest and adultery to get a good forbidden feel. Why not think historically? Racially forbidden like mixed racial couples in the 40's or 50's. Religious forbidden like a Roman Catholic knight during the crusades falling in love with an Islamic woman. Politically forbidden like a Princess sleeping with commoners (back when royalty meant something). Forbidden can be achieved through such better means than over used incest and adultery.
 
I'm sensing some hostility from you, Mint.

Am I right?

All I was trying to do was go beyond some of the same old, same old scenarios that pop up, but you're right: one method would be going the route of historical reference and the tension of that ... .

I still wonder about some situation or some setting that doesn't get used much. ...
 
Gay/Lesbian stories can also be forbidden.

Alot of it depends on how you emphasize the forbidden element- and the people involved, where they live, stuff like that.
 
What about interspecies? That sounds pretty forbidden, like sick animal sex or sex with elves or aliens
 
interspecies

Ahhhhh...............but who says it has to be humans and other species??
 
the Forbidden

perhaps a twist would be the happy family travelling to Africa. The husband already anticipating the possible seduction of his wife by an African. 6 months later his wife is addicted to her lover, who then starts on the rest of the family, including him if he wants his happy family back..
