Sex and Taboo

While we will never promote any particular taboo, no topic will be forbidden, and we will not shy away from an open, honest and uninhibited discussion of each taboo subject, balancing the pros and cons and examining whether it should be forbidden or freely enjoyed. A healthy debate and a clear, analytical examination of what turns people on awaits you.

Human sexuality has and always will challenge our perception of what is acceptable, and the Taboo column will work hard on teasing through the arguments to give a clear picture on each subject.

We will be looking at how different cultures view different taboos and examine the current laws that govern the acceptability and prosecution of various taboos. Since we are dealing with very controversial and gray areas, we will work hard to keep things objective and give both sides their fair hearing.

Adhering to SexHerald’s strict policy of non-judgmental and unbiased editorial on any aspect of human sexuality, the Taboo column will challenge anyone ready to take a look at the more liberal side of sex. You will glimpse some of the most unusual sexual practices known to man, including underage sex, public sex, extreme S+M, sex clubs and more.

Enter with an open mind and you may leave with a whole new point of view. Questioning the sexual norms and expanding the world’s consciousness about human sexuality is one of SexHerald’s goals.

The romantic notion of finding one partner and mating for life is a fantasy projected on society from the moment we are born. Stories of long-term monogamy have been told numerous times and sometimes can be the basis of a person’s search for their soul mate. The story of penguins’ mating habits has tugged at heartstrings countless times; when penguins find a mate they stay with that partner until their dying day, even if they separate during migration they always return to one another. However, no relationship amongst people can be as simple as the penguins or as plastic as Barbie and Ken. The thought of settling down with one person forever can be frightening to some and to others bliss. Finding one mate and keeping him or her can be difficult to accomplish because people change and so do feelings.

There have been many cautionary tales and urban legends about casual sex with strangers. One of the most well-known stories is the one where a man picks up an attractive woman at a bar, they have a few drinks and then they get a hotel room. After entering the hotel room, everything is a daze and he wakes up in a bathtub full of ice with an organ missing. There are many similar tales about casual encounters that result in organs being harvested for the black market; however, those are not the only sexual horror stories out there. One of the most uncommon folklores of causal sex is vagina dentata, which is Latin for vagina teeth. A deterrent myth about a woman with teeth in her vagina has taken on many versions in various cultures.

What was once a secret among many men is now coming out into the open. Men’s love for plus sized women is becoming increasingly visible as society comes to terms with what is healthy. As our culture comes to realize in large that the average woman is a size 14, more and more men are comfortably coming out of the closet with their desires for a woman with a little extra flesh to grab onto. Individuals attracted to people that are overweight are called chubby chasers, a term more commonly used for men who are attracted to plump women. The term can also be used for women who chase larger men
