*nod* I'm aware of the shifted perspective of the setting, i wouldnt say theres<em>no</em>taboo, but its certainly much lighter than it once was, if you go out looking for a one-night-stand at a bar, unless your ugly, youll probably find one, the average person looses their virginity around 12, swingers parties for couples are not uncommon, brothels are legitimate and unseedy, porn stars are minor celebrities. Hell, my character was a stripper back in highschool. On the flipside, there are still certainly things that dont jive, open as they are, youll still get strange looks if you go out in full bondage attire, public decency laws are still in effect, though some nazzadi places are clothing-optional, but sex in broad daylight in public will still get you arrested, anything with prepubescent minors is as disgusting and morally outrageous as it is today, ect.<br/><br/>Drugs are also more common, non-addictive/destructive drugs can be bought like cigarettes, and many bartenders are not just mixers, but pharmacists too. Addictive/destructive drugs are still controlled though, and doled out on ration to make sure no one overdoses. About the only thing they still ban are the truly life destroying ones, which i think crack might have been a example :P<br/><br/>In both cases, mandated psychotherapy helps people be free and exploratory, while curbing excess and self destructive behaviour.
