All kinds of taboos on your Tuesday

Most societies have certain mores that are unspoken rules; humanity itself even has such conventions, grilled subconsciously into our minds for our own safety. Don't go out alone at night. Avoid getting wet when it's cold. Don't pick fights with those stronger than you...okay, some of us missed the boat on the last one, but the point still stands. Society's rules tend to be more variable, though they apply to most aspects of life - including sex. In fact, bending the rules on what's considered acceptable in romance and sexual encounters can lead to anything from ostracization to death, depending on the time and culture.

So, play it close to the chest if you're going to do a big, big, big t a b o o. Is it worth the risk?


- Comment with your character and preferences. Be sure to include what you want and what you DON'T WANT. Blank comments are fine; info is even better!
- Reply to others.
- Be fun and respect others, as this will deal with some heavy topics and potentially triggering material s.



A G E ( DIFFERENCE ) - light of my life, fire of my loins. you're supposed to stick to those your own age, but you can't resist.
I N C E S T - you're of the same blood, yet something draws you together. you'll keep your secret thicker than water.
C H E A T I N G - when you were young, they should have taught you to not take things that belong to other people.
I N ( PUBLIC ) - to involve unsuspecting others in your sex is insidious, but you can't resist it.
S U P E R F L U O U S - some conservative societies view sex outside procreational purposes as taboo. that means anal, oral, and toys are all no-go.
F I X A T I O N - you're nearly obsessed with one part of your partner - breasts, ass, lips...whatever the case may be, you always focus on that.
D E V I A N C Y ( IN SUBURBIA ) - there are some things that should be sacred. the home should be one of those. should.
S I Z E - pick on someone your own size. couples with large size difference, be it height or weight, can be looked down upon; don't let that get you down.
P H O B I A - unfortunately, in some societies, being with someone of the same gender is a taboo, no matter how much progress the modern world has made.
F E T I S H - some just can't get off without their fetish, and the varieties run the gamut: feet, crossdressing, autoerotic asphyxiation, foodplay, bondage...it goes on and on.
U N E X P E C T E D ( DOMINATION/SUBMISSION ) - the masculine must be dominant. the feminine must be submissive. what if you're dominant in life, though, and just want to be submissive in the bedroom.
V I O L E N T - more than mere lover's spats, what goes on between you two is dangerous. if people knew, they'd be horrified. still, you can't stop.
F O R B I D D E N ( LOVE ) - your relationship may be taboo, but there's genuine love in your copulation. this isn't merely a thrill.
L O O S E - monogamy isn't what you're after. no matter how looked down upon it is, you're going to have fun while you can.
S T U D E N T / T E A C H E R - what goes on between the sheets is not an appropriate subject matter to teach. there's so much to lose; is it a smart game to play?
A U T H O R I T Y - perhaps they're the boss, the president, the king, but you, you're a lowly peon. are they using their powers over you or is this something you both want?
I N T E R S P E C I E S - kind finds kind, and don't you be a traitor by being with one of them.
B E S T I A L I T Y - one of the most primal taboos. will you go into that moral wilderness?
S O C I A L ( CLASS ) - the rich. the poor. it's like they're in two different worlds. what will the uppercrust say if they saw their golden child with a tramp?
C E L I B A C Y - you are supposed to keep your chastity, but things are never that easy.
S T O C K H O L M - prisoners should never fall for their guards.
D U T I E S - whether it be saving the world or being the world's best bodyguard, your sworn quest and purpose keeps you from enjoying the sins of the flesh - especially with your charges.
I N N O C E N C E - one of you is much more worldly, and to ruin the "innocence" of the other feels unclean.
F E R T I L E - you aren't supposed to find mothers or fathers sexually alluring. however, there's something so enticing about fertility...perhaps even pregnancy.
C O R R U P T I O N - society expects you to treat your partner well, not try to destroy them through sexual degradation.
N O N C O N S E N S U A L - consent is rightfully important to a healthy sexual relationship. to break that trust is taboo.

Koller's arms easily adjust to the shaking, precise movements never stopping. He's always glad he installed those... although maybe installing them himself had been kind of a crapshoot.

Oh well, experimentation is how he rolls.

"Man, the easiest solution is to find less shady places for your porn needs," he jokes. Yes, the backalley doctor talking about not going to shady places, hilarious. "Sounds complicated. Good thing you're all fixed." And now he's about to be even more fixed.

"Well, piercing's a little beneath my expertise, but that'd be something to see."

Callias does the most mature thing in response, and blows raspberry in reply to the comment about his porn needs.

"Anyway, the piercing thing's only a thought right now. Gotta account for where it is and what it needs to heal, too. And to get my dick pierced with my libido... man, that'll be rough to endure."

But he does feel how steady Koller's hands are, and truth be told, he nearly shivers when he imagines those hands caressing him rather than just working on him. Instead, he lets out a slight huff of a breath in an attempt to release some of the tension in his body before it can pitch a tent in his pants.

Oh yes, very mature. It's not like the guy who puts punk band patches all over his labcoat is that mature either, though, so he just laughs and continues to adjust the new aug.

"Alright, okay, sure, I get you. No matter how you slice it, modification's a big deal, whether it's new parts or getting holes in your old ones. I mean, for me it is not such a big thing, but I think we've established I'm fucking weird." And, clearly, proud of it.

"Just about done with this one here. You've been a very cooperative patient so far."

"You're not weird - you're different." Callias smiles sheepishly, even though he's not facing Koller at the moment. He wasn't trying to insist that he himself was normal, but he considers that Koller might think that he was -- something something, uncomfortable feelings. Abort.

"It's entirely possible that I over-think stuff. Often."

With the exception of hooking up his brain to another's on the first date meeting.

"I think this is the first thing I've really done on a whim."

"That's sweet, man, but I am definitely weird. I consider it a compliment." He's not one to particularly care if someone considers themselves normal or not either, so he doesn't pick up on any vibes like that.

A couple more connections and he steps back, hands over his head. "Success! One easily accessible port for cable use. Congratulations, man, you are one step closer to godhood."

He grins, rubbing his screwdriver with a cloth. "How's it feel? Exciting? Some things need a lot of planning, but it's nice when you can just start shit because you feel like it."

"Nice. Feels good."

He doesn't dare turn back on his pain sensors yet, as he's pretty sure he's in for a world of hurt until it all heals. Until then, they stay off.

"And now we can hook up without bringing something sharp into the mix." Turning to Koller, he gives him a cheeky grin. Of course, he knows this means that he can hook up to whatever he wants on a whim now, but taking a more playful, flirty approach won out.

His gaze softens, and he tilts his head slightly, wondering how much the parts and labor cost for it. He's sincerely hoping that Koller won't just do it for free. Even if he pays for it with take-out.

"Nothing feel off or anything?" It looks fine from his end, but of course the one who actually has the aug might know a little more about that. "Nothing pulling weird?"

So far, though, looks like another great success.

"Yeah, cutting stuff out is more my idea of work, not foreplay," he jokes. "Kinda like how 'playing doctor' is super super bland, y'know? I'm a doctor, this is normal shit for me."

But, worry not, he'll certainly be sending a bill. He's got reasonable rates.

"And now, while I've got you here, the arm."

[personal profile] epistemophilic 2016-11-23 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Callias moves his arm a bit so Koller can reach it easily without missing a beat.

"I'll have to check a little more in-depth once I get the courage to turn the pain sensors back on, truth be told, but so far, so good. I'll test things out more before I get up." He smiles wryly, glancing up at him and then wriggling his mechanical fingers and wrist. There's that hitch again, where the wrist doesn't want to move quite right.

"Although I can understand why you feel that way - about the 'playing doctor' thing." Never mind that, to him, 'playing doctor' is pretty sexy, if how he reacted to just being worked on along his neck had anything to do with it. Aside from a slightly more-than-cursory interest from time to time.

Minus the cutting-him-open part. But he can understand Koller's thinking.

"What you consider not bland, then? Barring mind-to-mind connections."

Koller inspects the arm, carefully turning it around and slowly working at each of the fingers in an attempt to identify the problem. He looks about as thoughtful and professional about it as he can get.

"Oh, you know. Not doing the boring shit." He shrugs. "I dunno, man, people just try for this really fakey-fakey shit sometimes and it's a little on the 'oh not again' side. Like, I'm into augs, man, y'know? But they never want to do that, it's just 'oh look at meeee, Mister Doctor.'" A shrug.

"I'm into a lot of shit, man, trust me, and I love my job, it's just I don't wanna make this shit into the most boring parts of work. Now, installing augs so we can fuck better? That, I can get behind," he jokes.

Unfortunately, Callias struggles to fully understand what he means.

"So it's... the vanilla 'oh doctor, please check me out?' thing?" he asks, his brow furrowing as he struggles to figure out -- okay, he can understand why people might do that. Koller's sexy, and he has a sexy, bloodstained chair. Of course.

"Or am I completely missing the mark?"
hi0ctane: (riiight)

[personal profile] hi0ctane 2016-11-28 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Another shrug as Koller opens up part of the hand to peer inside. "Something like that, yeah. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's sort of... you could do anything, but you want me to do a checkup like it's something special? I'm beyond that shit, man, I'm all for augs and shit. Kinda hard to explain it."

Sounds good enough, alright. He grabs a few tools, sits down on his rolling chair, and gets to work again.

"Could've probably put it better, but, eh."
