I think a lot of good comes from those taboos.
Let me talk about this in terms of peaches instead of sex or sexual body parts.
Lets say I live in a society where peaches are pretty taboo, it's not a huge taboo but you don't go round rubbing peaches on people in public.
In this society I crave peaches and the idea of going to some society where they're rubbing peaches all around sounds great.
But if you lived in the peach rubbing society after 10 or 20 years I'm pretty sure the craving would be obliterated and instead you'd be thinking ok can you stop rubbing your peaches all over me everytime meet, it's getting annoying.
I like the fact that some of the things I like are taboo.
It's kind of like the difference between skipping school classes / Never going to school or work ever and not doing much with your life.
One feels great and thrilling the other is depressing. The abundance of something you like can be depressing.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
