Casal Sem Tabu

The meaning of taboo generally refers to a prohibition on the practice of any social activity that is morally, religiously or culturally objectionable. Saying that something is taboo can mean that it is sacred and therefore I prohibit any contact. Or it can also mean something dangerous, filthy or impure. Each society has its own moral standards. Taboos that exist in one culture may not exist in others. Taboos are created by social, religious and cultural conventions. They are means of preserving society's good customs by limiting the practice of certain acts or avoiding talking about controversial subjects. Taboos are related to language, in which there is a prohibition on pronouncing swear words and other filthy names (for example, devil); the common taboos on sex, considered religious sins; or even dietary restrictions (eating human meat or certain animals, blood, etc.). Euphemism is a language that is often used to avoid taboos. Breaking a taboo can result in divine punishment, in addition to guilt, embarrassment, shame, etc.
