The topic of taboos can be a tricky one to discuss, partly because the term can be a little hard to define. What one person (or couple) considers a taboo, others may consider nothing out of the ordinary. Cultural influences play a big role. In very conservative cultures, all but the most basic sexual activities may be considered taboo. Even the word taboo can have different connotations, depending on the person: for some, it's dirty and off-limits, for other it's naughty and exciting. Some taboo topics will be covered in this chapter. If you and your partner are both willing, try out a few, if you haven't already.
