Taboo Story Topics

Every country, culture, subculture, etc. has things that are "taboo" for its people. Whether it's incest, beastiality or cannabalism, these things are never spoken of and are hugely frowned upon. Incest is one of the things that is taboo around me... yet I see it all the time on Mibba. I haven't seen beastiality, but I have seen cannabalism (though not glorified).

This got me to thinking: do these people write stories based on these topics that are taboo for me because they're not taboo for them or because they are taboo for them as well?

A big part of writing is exploring things you don't know, so I'm wondering if that's a big part of it.

Anyone have any thoughts?
