What taboo or socially unaceptable behavior do you wish wasn't?

I wouldn't even go as far as neighbor unless I was really close with them. More like cousins/nephews/etc. Also, like another user posted, if a stranger's kid was acting like an assclown, a simple reminder with a stern voice might put them back in place.

Thanks for the clarity, you and Monet as well. I pretty much agree with both of you's. I am very much an advocate of the "Hey, you guys need to stop. Where is your mom?"

What, you Californians cuss constantly at an audible level in public? - And I don't mean at gigs or places where there are only adults - I'm talking about malls, playgrounds, church services, and such.

Nothing more annoying than some rat-haired d-bag in a booth behind me who needs a mouth full of soap.

Where does the "disciplining other peoples' children" have its age threshold? Because I have many bars of Irish Spring.

That would depend on the type of extramarital sex being discussed.

Extramarital sex with the knowledge, consent or participation of one's partner could fall under polyamory or swinging.

Extramarital sex without the knowledge, consent or participation of one's partner would likely just be considered cheating.

That is the heart of it and it's why it isn't accepted. Too many people get all butt-hurt just thinking about how their partner might be having fun with someone else. This leads to deception - to try to prevent the partner from being jealous. Eventually the lies catch up with you and the damage is done.

To make it acceptable, one must first abandon the primitive idea that we should be jealous of our mates when they're enjoying themselves with someone else.

Compersion is an empathetic state of happiness and joy experienced when another individual experiences happiness and joy. It is sometimes identified with parents' pride in their children's accomplishments or one's own excitement for friends' and others' successes. It is commonly used to describe when a person experiences positive feelings when a lover is enjoying another relationship. It is an opposite of jealousy.

My interweb travels have discovered a surprising number of men who have some interest in cuckholdry, which I suppose is in this same vein.

Of course most, as predicted, are German or Japanese.:|

I hadnt heard that term before, thanks for expanding my vocabulary.

It seems you run into both types in the lifestyle. Im not a jealous person, and Im secure in my relationship. We love each other a lot, but neither of us feel that being in a committed relationship should necessarily be the end of our sexual exploration. Our biggest rule is that this sort of activity should be done together. That rule could even become flexible in time, but for the moment thats how we do things and it seems to work.

I've never heard the word either. Thanks for that. Pretty much describes me perfectly. :)

Nudity. Not that I am promoting full on public nudity to be allowed everywhere, just the overall attitude about nudity in the USA. I think we create some of the sexuality problems in the USA by treating nudity like it is some kind of serious sin.

If "sexual" is construed as "something that causes arousal", then certain organs that were designed for nursing babies, and certain others that were designed to expel waste are both sexual.
