“Taboo ‘sex’” might want to be rephrased though.
Until I saw Luke’s response I thought it meant “Yes”, “No”, and “Yes, and it was really kinky sex!”
Yes. Better not use LW-specific lingo in a survey intended for lurkers as well as contributors. (I was going to change it but forgot to; done now.)
I normally understand the LW use of ‘taboo’.
It’s just that ‘taboo sex’ brings up its own meaning/mental image faster.
I’m similarly peeved by words used with non-literal meanings in contexts that prime the literal meaning.
