There are many outliers. For instance, about 30% showed interest in "teens under 18" (which is different from "pre-puberty teens" by the way), but it's ranked 85% on the tabooness score. Another fetish with 30% interest is "thighs" which is only 15% on tabooness.
- pmichaud 4y agoI have a hunch that societies generate strong taboos specifically in response to things that are widely appealing to individuals but that are somehow considered harmful to the whole.
- coldtea 4y agoWhy the fuck would liking thighs be a taboo? Though of course even blow jobs and vagina play weren't seen as 100% clean cut either in the poll, so this sampling includes some puritan backwater people... I think they counter "missionary position" as slightly taboo too?
- rippercushions 4y agoAny survey is going to include people entering random shit for the lulz, so you wouldn't get 100% for "is water wet".
- kragen 4y agoi don't think anyone who had ever met me would describe me as having a puritanical attitude toward sex but i would have been in the 10% of respondents that don't find blowjobs arousing i don't mean i think they're dirty or naughty or something, they just aren't what i'm into i've received blowjobs from partners who enjoyed giving blowjobs, recently even, but it isn't something i'd suggest a partner do with me, unless i know it's something they like a lot human sexual response is pretty varied, maybe more varied than you imagine
- coldtea 4y ago>but i would have been in the 10% of respondents that don't find blowjobs arousing Perhaps, but the survey is about what is considered taboo - and BJs are like still 5% taboo. What's up with that? That said, not finding them arousing should be a taboo itself, it's like not liking chocolate, what kind of weirdo doesn't like chocolate?
- kragen 4y agoi don't like chocolate either just kidding, i love chocolate just like everyone else, please don't send me back to the hospital tabooness was one of the dimensions, the other was what percentage of people found the act sexually exciting in fantasy, and i thought that was the one you meant i agree that the 5% taboo is probably a question of people being puritanical, or expecting others to be puritanical pretty sure oral sex was illegal under sodomy laws in most us states during part of the 20th century
- rippercushions 4y agoThe survey demographics state that many respondents were (claimed to be) under 18, and there was a statistically unusual spike at 18, implying many under-18s lied about their age.
- patmcc 4y agoIt'd be hard to tease out, but I suspect most of the taboo associated with liking "teens under 18" would be for adults interested in teens under 18; presumably not many would consider it taboo for a 16 year old to be interested in other 16 year olds (which would be some of that 30%).
