Taboo (film series)
Taboo is a pornographic movie series of the 1980s, which eroticizes father-daughter & mother-son incest. It stars Kay Parker, and was directed by Kirdy Stevens and others.
The plot, which raised controversy when the film was released, involves a woman, who is left by her husband, seducing her teenaged son. It also involves a teen daughter who repeatedly has sex with her dad. Taboo became one of the biggest-selling adult movies ever, and spawned a number of sequels which involve other people in incestuous relationships.
In the Summer of 2006, Standard Digital (now known as Addictive Entertainment) re-released Taboo volumes 1 through 6 on DVD with new metallic-colored packaging.

(She believes he has left her for his own secretary, but this is never confirmed.) Left alone with their son Paul (Mike Ranger) and needing a way to make ends meet, she is set up by her nympho-maniac friend Gina (Juliet Anderson - who is also portrayed later in various sexual escapades with two Chinese male/female lovers) to go on a blind date with a guy who turns out to be a swinger. (She also finds a job with real-estate broker Jerry Morgan (Michael Morrison), whom Gina had informed her had an employment opening.) Her son Paul is having sex with his blonde girlfriend Sherrie McBride (Dorothy LeMay) and later with her Middle Eastern friend who had never had an orgasm before though he is shown to have some "Oedipal" desires. After Barbara is taken by the swinger date to an orgy with the participants arranged in a daisychain arranged as playhouses on top of each other in geometric patterns, but refuses to participate, she goes home in a heightened state of arousal. In this state, she goes to her sleeping son, seeing his large male member, seduces him; this makes her feel guilty the following morning. Barbara allows herself to go on a date with her boss, Jerry Morgan. Though she seems to want to pursue a relationship with Jerry, she continues to have sex with Paul.
Taboo 2 (1982)
"Taboo 2" is a pornographic movie, filmed in 1982, that depicted incestuous sex and featured some of the biggest pornographic stars in the industry at the time. "Taboo 2" dressed the stage for several other sequels in the "Taboo" series, many of which went on to win several awards in the pornographic film industry and their reputation as stimulating films endures for decades.
Despite the rather nontraditional subject matter, "Taboo 2" quickly became one of the biggest selling adult films ever made and has earned further fame as a favorite of comedian Adam Carolla, who has been speaking fondly of "Taboo 2" for years (while mocking its ridiculous plot), first on "Loveline" and now on his daily podcast The Adam Carolla Show. Carolla has had the composer of the film's music, Leon Felburg, on his podcast twice and has helped make the music almost as famous as the film itself, playing it on his show while singing along.

Then after a strategy session with his girl friend and gets her willing help. She first starts kissing and rubbing on Sherrie in a backyard Jacuzzi, then leads her inside where unknowingly her brother awaits. When she suddenly opens her passion-shut eyes and discovers the feeling of a slightly different mouth on her lower vagina and soon willingly submits to his obviously superior techniques. When the two are later caught again having sex by their mother Joyce who returns suddenly from an errand, "Junior" then later that evening seduces her as well. The movie ends with Sherry softly and quietly seducing her father at night in the parents bed with the wife asleep next to him with eye-blinders on. Later the parents' sexual attraction to each other is restored. Barbara Scott (Kay Parker) and Gina (Juliet Anderson), from the original film, have smaller roles, and it is from them when a massage session turns into frantic bi-sexual/lesbian sex and is later interrupted then wildly escalating to a three-some with visiting Junior, who had been given Barbara's address during a shopping trip earlier that day, that he learns that Barbara had been earlier having sex with her own son, Paul (his friend in the first film "Taboo"). This sets him off, exciting Junior to jump onto the massage mat with the two horny women. Several other intermittent scenes show other sexual escapades of the nympho-maniac Gina, who later arranges an orgy with many of the characters including "Junior", his girl friend, his sister Sherrie (who is also now seduced behind a sofa by the visiting Barbara (who earlier had been "massaging" with Gina and her brother) and now Sherrie knows that she too is a sexually voracious nymph. The evening's stimulating raucous activities cumulating with Gina as sexual "queen-bee" (and sorta as a "mistress-of-ceremonies") arranging a circle of sex with various couples end-to-end around her on the floor as she selects a mate to copulate with on top of in the middle as a "roman candle"!
Taboo 3 - The Final Chapter (1984)
- Starring: Kay Parker, Honey Wilder, Jerry Butler, Lisa Lake, Blake Palmer, Angel West, Colleen Brennan, Kristara Barrington, Marc Wallice, Pamela Mann
- Director: Kirdy Stevens
- Music By: Leon Felburg
- Studio: Addictive Entertainment (DVD)
- Summary: Barbara Scott's (Kay Parker) son Paul moves out unexpectedly, leaving her distraught. She soon becomes jealous of her son Jimmy's (Jerry Butler) girlfriend while she secretly yearns for him. She confides this to her friend Joyce McBride (Honey Wilder), whom she discovers is having an affair with her own son, Brian (Blake Palmer). Jimmy and Brian are both helping prepare a fledgling band for a major tour and record deal, and accomplish the latter by throwing an orgy for the record company executive. After a hot night of passion with Joyce, Jimmy decides to give in and seduce his mother.
Though neither Taboo nor Taboo 2 mentioned either Barbara Scott or Joyce McBride having had other sons than Paul Scott and Gregory "Junior" McBride Jr. respectively, making both "boys" appear to have been an only child (in Paul Scott's case) and an only son(in Junior McBride's case), Taboo 3--The Final Chapter openly refers to Barbara Scott and Joyce McBride having had more than one son each. This was accepted despite the fact that Paul Scott and James "Jimmy" Scott were never seen together in Taboo, nor were Gregory "Junior" McBride Jr. and Brian McBride ever seen together in Taboo 2.
