Some of extreme sex related taboos:

Some more “Common”:

3. What Are Taboos? 
Are formed when people experience something major/traumatic
Can happen at any age, more likely to form around young – puberty
Happened throughout the centuries
Ex: Incest
They are like Fetishes, but they are not the same thing 
Taboos – Interests that usually go against the norms of society or beliefs
Fetishes – A variety of things that can cause arousal (feet, body image, other physical characteristics)
Like fetishes, taboos come in a variety of “harshness”
Usually very extreme would have the suffix –philia
Keep in mind, that different countries/beliefs alter what taboos can be
Also affected by the communities that the person has grown in.

4. Region And Religious Based
One problem is that they depend on the region
There are some that are constant. EX: Pedophilia
More specifically, sexual taboos are against the everyday practices
Includes: Laws, Religions, Social Groups, etc.
When it comes to religion, views were based their Scriptures
Ex: Catholics and Christians would use the Bible has their base
The Bible view point on Homosexuality, Zoophilia, and Adultery:
“You shall not lie with a man as with a woman: that is an abomination. You shall not have sexual intercourse with any beast to make yourself un- clean with it, nor shall a woman submit herself to intercourse with a beast: that is a violation of nature. You shall not make yourselves unclean in any of these ways, in these ways the heathen made themselves unclean.” [Lev. 18:22-24]3
“If a man has intercourse with a man as with a woman, they both commit an abomination. They shall be put to death; their blood shall be on their own heads.” [Lev. 20:13-14]

5. The Public Eye Throughout history, public has view changed
Some are more appropriate than others today
Ex: 1900’s and earlier, Homosexuality was seen “forsaken”
Through the views of the religious communities
Military had the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”
Some were into forms of jokes,
Still seen as out of place in society, but easier to address
Incest and even Beastility are usually the main topics, online only
The rest are rarely brought up

6. Online Presence
Dark Social Media provide a place for people to expand on these interests.
Being on the Dark Web, these sites are illegal
Some of Fetish/Taboo-related appear on pornographic sites, like Pornhub
Taboo Inception
Internet has helped break down some of the barriers 
*Side Note* : This generations view of sexual taboos are different than prior generations.

7. Companies and Sex
Companies have used "soft core" images and themes  for advertising
Well known example: Carl's Jrs.
Common topic for research and analysis
Covers more than just sexual topics 
In a 1997 study:
"Women were more distrubed by sexual themes and ideas when compared to men."
"However the overall analysis shows that there is an overall negative evulation of the advertisments."
