For good or bad, there is actually a very good reason pretty much every successful society over time has similar taboos, with gay, anal sex orgies being on the top of the list. It really is a giant public health risk.
And now that Western society has decided to self destruct and remove every +EV taboo, we have the privilege of getting a front row seat why they really existed in the first place.
Of course, traditional societies didn't understand the science of why it was such a bad idea, and couched things in moral reasons. But just because the reasons are bogus, doesn't mean the taboo itself is incorrect. Being right for the wrong reasons you could say I guess.
Single motherhood another giant traditional taboo where most traditional societies were very right for often wrong reasons, and we are getting a very hard lesson why it is such a bad idea.
