Yes. Better not use LW-specific lingo in a survey intended for lurkers as well as contributors. (I was going to change it but forgot to; done now.)

I normally understand the LW use of 'taboo'.

It's just that 'taboo sex' brings up its own meaning/mental image faster.

I'm similarly peeved by words used with non-literal meanings in contexts that prime the literal meaning.
