sexuality??


>According to Mead, the taboo has strong benefits: Because
>certain sexual and marital relationships are categorically
>forbidden, and the categorical ban is instilled early on in
>children's minds, children can grow and develop affectionate,
>close bonds with a wide span of relatives, without the
>intrusion of "inappropriate sexuality." Children can "wander
>freely, sitting on laps, pulling beards, and nestling their
>heads against comforting breasts-neither tempting nor being
>tempted beyond their years."
