Many people have a tendency to tap only what is socially accepted. For instance fewer people would tap "i am afraid of punching back when someone punches me first because the reaction to my punch could be even worse"( a very common unspoken issue ) and more would tap "I want to get rid of my approach anxiety".

Do not live an internet life or even normal social life when it comes to tapping goals.

Keep your tapping goals to yourself. If you feel an urge to tap on "I am afraid of killing people" tap it. If you then kill someone and get away with it - fine. Cops kill people every day.

The phrase "Cops kill people every day." will be diluted by avid moralists as well as this message itself because these avid moralists can't see what mustn't be true.

Be warned, people are predictable.

If you feel relieved after reading the answers to this thread, you are a victim of verbal dilution.

Unless one is a steroid ape with a shaved head and bad roid rage from Bad Tölz, I don´t see any use in tapping for such goals. Just tap on the things you want, regardless of how accepted they are by society. That being said, I don´t think that hurting others is an acceptable goal.

Bad Tölz looks very nice!

Yes, it does.

Oh my gosh I laughed HARD when I read this post.

Thanks!

 

while I don't agree with some points in your post,Partikel,you're right about this one:
"Many people have a tendency to tap only what is socially accepted"
It goes against what you proposed but would you share some of your "socially not-accepted" tapping goals?just curious

This is a tricky one, isn't it? There's nothing wrong with keeping your tapping goals to yourself. If you want to do that, that's fine. There are goals which we all have, or past events in our lives, that we wouldn't want to tell every man and woman on the street. Some things are just too personal.

But sharing things with others can also really help. If you have something you're tapping on, you might find that other people will have some useful advice to help with that, or even that they went through a similar thing themselves. Maybe they'll be able to glean insights that you don't have yourself - never underestimate your own ignorance about yourself. The beauty of the Internet is that you can talk about things like this in confidence. Nothing bad can happen. You won't see these people when you go to work in the morning, or when you do your shopping. If you shock them, you can just log off. It doesn't matter. You might find that opening up about what you're going through really helps. 

"It is the same with having sex in the elevator. You're horny and so is your beautiful girlfriend. But having fucked her the tension is gone. People are going to sue you(retarded I know) and even if not, it is uncomfortable as you now notice. And all you want is your comfortable bed right now but the elevator is not even close to your bed."

If the sex is had in an elevator where you are attending a sexual health conference where such actions can be part and parcel of the proceedings, then you and your girlfriend will have a great time, the tension will be alleviated but also exacerbated by the folks watching you and cheering you on (and probably either joining in, if invited, or turning to their own partner/s if not) and your bed, or the lobby or some other comfy spot will do for a reprise of your actions.  No one will sue you.  And if you want your comfortable bed, you can always take that elevator to the correct floor and go to your room.  Someone will even help you to the door if your knees are still weak. 

Sharing, when done appropriately with people who share like interests and are adult enough to participate in your sharing in a responsible, consensual and caring manner, is beneficial on a number of levels to you and to the people you share with.  Sharing done outside of responsible, consensual and caring ways is not helpful to you or to the others who are forced to watch you and your girlfriend f**k in public.  Or whatever thing it is you are foisting off on people, whether it's public displays of affection (or just sex) outside of the "norm,*" conversations on your cell phone, etc.  That's not sharing, that's just being rude and being rude will eventually get you that lawsuit for exposing your genitals in public, or just dirty looks for annoying folks with inappropriate use of a cell phone, etc. 

So the lesson is, share with people who are interested in your subject and with people you feel you can trust and be thoughtful so that everyone benefits.  There really is a time and a place for everything and social mores are, at their most idealistic, an attempt to make social intercourse (in the original sense of the word) beneficial to as many as possible and as little trouble for as many as possible.  Of course this doesn't always work, especially if you want to have sex in an elevator outside of very specific and special situations. 

Namaste.

*And since "normal" is different in every society on the planet it's a subject fraught with difficulties at the best of times.  Showing the soles of your feet in one culture is fine, in another it's a deadly insult, etc., and that's the easy stuff.  Sexual behavior norms are, for some reason, far more complicated than any other behavior which is kind of weird given how vital it is to the continuation of our species... but whatever.
