Inspired by a discussion with fellow Trend Hunters regarding whether or not the subject of art created using menstrual blood was too intense to be published, I decided to take a look at the controversial topics not considered too risque to talk about these days.
This collection of topics were once considered extremely taboo. They include everything from celebrity lesbian weddings and pregnant transgendered men to freaky fetishes and super-modern sex toys.
We certainly have come a long way, considering that the act of wearing a bikini to the beach was once considered taboo!
