在很多社會(huì)文化中,有許多性關(guān)系是社會(huì)禁忌,包括戀童癖、亂倫、同性戀和獸交。
這些行為的動(dòng)機(jī)可能是真愛,也可能是肉欲,一旦被發(fā)現(xiàn),當(dāng)事者可能會(huì)受到嚴(yán)厲的懲罰,因此事實(shí)常常被隱瞞。這可能需要親戚們的合作,盡管他們對(duì)這樣的關(guān)系深惡痛絕,但出于忠誠或者希望當(dāng)事人有所醒悟,他們會(huì)繼續(xù)隱瞞。
禁斷之愛更多地出現(xiàn)在成人故事中,這反映了真實(shí)的社會(huì)規(guī)則。讀者從中也許看到“生活的另一面”,也許是內(nèi)心的壓抑在故事中得到實(shí)施、發(fā)泄,從而感到恐懼或著迷。讀者也可能同情其他受牽連者。

Discussion
There are a number of sexual relationships which are social taboos in many societies, including paedophilia, incest, homosexuality and bestiality.
Whilst the motives for such acts may range from pure love to depravity, they are nevertheless likely to receive rough justice if discovered, and are hence often covered up. This may require the collaboration of kin who may be disgusted at the relationship, but yet play along out of loyalty and hope that the person involved will somehow come to their senses.
Crimes of love such as these tend to appear largely in adult stories, reflecting real social codes. Readers may be horrified and fascinated, perhaps at seeing the 'other side of life' and maybe in vicarious pleasure at seeing their own repressions being acted out. They may also have sympathy for others involved.
