You can put any amount of blood and guts, homicide and suicide, into any book, movie, or tv show, and no one thinks much about it. Yet add sex, and it becomes a big fat taboo in many peoples' heads.
I believe this is due to the fact that most people do not enjoy the sight of guts and blood nor they commit homicide or contemplate suicide. But we all do have sex and to subconciously make the link between repulsive thoughts and the one thing most of us enjoy the most is just that, repulsive and revolting. This is the way our mind tells us that slaughter, murder and self killing are a no-no. A self preservation system, I suppose. One more reason it becomes exciting for those who fantasize about it,
