A look at words, acts, and fetishes that are often unjustly considered taboo.
Fuck Curse Words
My parents used to wash my mouth out with soap every time I would curse. No shit. There I go again. If they knew how I much I curse as a grown up, they would probably have a bar of soap surgically attached to the inside of my mouth. I still remember when it became ok to say the word “bitch” on prime time television; it was a really big deal on the news because it had never been done before. We have certainly come a long way. Books and movies written by curse word connoisseurs like Quentin Tarantino. The Hateful 8 slings derogatory curse words around as rapidly as the bullets from their six shooters. I was so excited that I walked around the house all day just saying, “bitch, bitch, bitch.” Needless to say, the taste of Ivory soap lingered in my mouth for about a week. “But mom,” I said with a mouth full of bubbles, “If they can say it on tv, why can’t I say it?” She didn’t care and probably gave me the “If your friend jumped off the Golden Gate bridge, would you do the same?” line. And to answer her question, no I would not do that. But I found that saying bitch was really liberating, especially since my parents never cursed-EVER. Now that I am an adult, I wonder how that is even possible. I always wonder about those folks that say “fudge” or “shrek” or “heck.” Come on, this is America-say what you mean, “Fuck that shit, I want that bitch to go straight to hell.” Sorry I have to go wash my mouth out with soap, again.

Ethan and I were refugees when we first met in his father's apartment in New York City. He was 19 and I was 32. He was feeling banished from a mother and stepfather who could not make time for him because they were to busy raising the three young children they had together. For me, I felt banished from my home in Connecticut where I could no longer communicate with my husband of six years.

Some people prefer whips and chains, others prefer balloons. A fetish can include sexual arousal from traditionally non-sexual objects or body parts, like feet and stuffed animals. A sexual fetish is defined as a sexual attraction to an object that plays a big role in his or her sexuality. Virtually everyone has a fetish of some kind whether it is feet, latex, lacquer, or leather. Then there are the more bizarre which include furries, armpits, and balloons. Furries make for an innocent way to break into the fetish game.

Like the plumage and color markings of lesser species, style and fashion help send signals to the opposite sex. More than 300 years ago, Robert Burton expressed this view when he wrote in The Anatomy of Melancholy, “The greatest provocations of lust are from our apparel.”

If you want answers fast, nothing beats torture. It was an integral part of all capital legal proceedings recorded as far back as the 12th century. Often practiced by the inquisition and in most European countries for cases of heresy, blasphemy, adultery, and many other ‘crimes against God.’ Besides beating, suffocating, and burning, ancient Roman-Catholic Churches used other, more depraved ways of extracting confessions from its victims. The clergy was into bondage. In fact, most adult industry BDSM products are quite similar to the torture devices Inquisition-era Christians devised to make the heretics repent. While Papal courts had some intense torture contraptions that dominatrices would never use on submissives, there is still a striking similarity in utility and design to contemporary BDSM devices.
