The Last Taboo Now Mainstream?
 

From 'America Unzipped' series on MSNBC:

What do the Pixies think?

i personally don't understand the taboo of anal sex but open communication, removal of stereotypes, and education can only be good things.

I think it's great. :thumbs:

But y'all already knew that.

I'm a big fan personally.

The last taboo?
 

:box:

This is just a reminder how out of touch some parts of the US culture, such as "Members of the "Media" are with the reality of our lives. I am not talking about all journalists, as both of my loves, both journalists, are enthusiastic about anal sex. I think it is more about the editors and publishers.
Something isn't "mainstream" until they write about it. (or at least assign someone to write about it).
I think that everyone I know that I am close enough with to be able to discuss such intimacies, has either tried or practices anal. I admit I am not a "mainstream" woman, but I know some very "proper", certainly mainstream women, who privately talk about their enthusiasm for anal.
There are other things.
I am a woman who owns and knows how to shoot a handgun, which is really very common today, but the media doesn't nderstand that. I am bisexual, again not something the mainstream media understands as to how common that is among us (women).
I am a Katrina Evacuee. Not all of us are poor, uneducated, and talk with a horrible thick accent. I am Catholic, and a feverent supporter of Women's Rights. Everytime the Media writes about it , they act as though it were a huge new movement. It's not, believe me. My Mama' was very outspoken on this 20 years ago. I am sure hers was before her.

I agree with you WW - it's very rare that I don't!

However, I'm not sure that anal sex IS the last taboo. I'd have thought that incest, sex with animals, even cross dressing are more taboo than anal sex.

Most women would not be surprised if our man said he wanted to try anal sex - I've never seen a porn film that didn't include it. However a lot of women would be shocked if their man said he wanted to wear their underwear.

I agree with the ladies above me - when I saw the subject, I expected this to be about incest or beastiality. Anal sex, I feel, has become much more accepted in this decade.

It always amazes me when you see something publicized in a positive light after having taken place for thousands of years. :rolleyes:


I wonder how long it'll take to see "creampie" in the NYT. :roflmao:

Just goes to show
 

...how progressive Pixies are, compared to the 'mainstream.'
The 'last taboo' verbiage in the title was obviously from the referenced article, and not meant to preclude the 'other' taboos mentioned in the posts above.
It all depends on your frame of reference(/preference)!

I'm with you on this one Lou. I think that Incest would be the "last taboo".

If you judge the idea based on who's viewing what stories here at Pixies.

If "anal sex IS the last taboo", I've been the witchdoctor for a long time. :hump:











:shrug:

...so thats who was chanting ew ee eww ahh ahh ching chang walla walla bing bang!!! roflmao
i gotta agree if anal is the final taboo someone better tell all them cousin humpers in (apalachin america) land that they can hump to their little hearts delite.... nest bukakke will be as accepted as high tea and there will be glory holes in the oval office bathroom (oh wait ill bet clinton already had that one covered)...

I'd say the last taboo would be children, not incest. That's one that will probably never turn mainstream.... or at least I hope it doesn't!

I'm not sure that children can be considered a 'taboo' - it would be like calling rape a 'taboo' - something of an understatement.

Cross dressing is only taboo for the males. Women wear pant-suits with ties all the time, they also wear boxer shorts.

Hey mister witchdoctor do you have any 'love potion #9'.

I only have 'love potion #7-1/4'



:roflmao:

Pity...that's much more difficult to rhyme. :p

The Media
 

Looking back, I am not sure I made my point.

I think the "Media" is so out of touch, they are clueless has to how mainstream anal is. There are so many other things that I feel are much more socially taboo than anal. In no particular order...
1. bisex
2. group sex, 3sums and more
3. polyamory
4. Animals (yuchh!)
5. Necro (Ewwwww)
6. copra and water sports (been there, tried it, not going there again)
7. cutting, blood, "vampirism" (not my thing)
8. Pretty much all D/s and BDSM (MMMMMMmmmmm)
9. Whipping, spanking (has to be done "right")
10.And much much more, somethings I wo'nt even list.

Too tired to go on... (late night, lots of "exercise")

Honestly when I read the title I thought it was BDSM that was the last Taboo. I mean I keep seeing all these novels in the bookstores that appear to be getting kinkier and kinkier. I thought anal was done it just wasn't talked about in mainstream media, just like all sex out of the marriage bed.

These are all subjects over my head, all I know about is "Love making."

I'm not sure you can even call it a "taboo" anymore! Although it's not my favorite sexual act, I sure do enjoy performing it. She also enjoys doing it to me with her vibrator, and I have NO complaints!!!
