Prepubescent children? Babies touch themselves while being changed - most of the parenting books I read said not to worry or make a big deal about it.
Such a warning seems unnecessary if most people normally followed the advice.
I guess that “taboo” in the OP means ‘what you can't say’, not ‘what you can say but still lots of people are wrong about’. Otherwise it'd be faaaar easier to find taboos.
Yeah, I debated a separate post on that point. To me, it is pretty clear that the OP is using taboo in Graham's sense. Then I decided too much time had passed to make that post worthwhile.
