GM Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 No Nudes Is Good Nudes For Britons Wednesday October 25, 05:59 PM Nudity in public is the greatest modern taboo, according to a survey. Almost two out of five (37%) people placed nakedness at the top of a list of unacceptable public practices. It was followed by wearing a hoodie (12%), public displays of affection (11%) and breast-feeding (9%). Mobile ring tones, arguing and drinking alcohol came next. The survey was conducted by Hasbro, makers of the board game The Big Taboo, to mark the fourth National Game Playing Week. Nick Atkinson, of British Naturism, said British people still had unnecessary hang-ups about nudity. He said: "I am shocked that people rate nudity in public as more offensive than drinking alcohol or farting." The top ten taboos, compiled with answers from 3,013 people, was: 1. Being naked in public (37%) 2. Wearing a hoodie (12%) 3. Public displays of affection (11%) 4. Breast-feeding (9%) 5. Mobile phone ringtones (8%) 6. Arguing (7%) 7. Drinking alcohol (6%) 8. Litter (3%) 9. Smoking (2%) 10 Flatulence (2%) Source: Click Here What do you think are the biggest taboos? If they're not listed above vote other and illuminate the discussion...

Dave Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Biggest taboo I heard of lately is in white for those not of a nervous disposition: Someone told me there is a fetish where someone quite literally gets facefucked; via their false eye socket. blueeek.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 'PDA's as they now seem to be called on here are more annoying than a taboo i'd say.
