Cannibalism

The practice of eating members of one's own species. A wolf that hunts and kills other wolves to eat is a cannibal; similarly a man or woman who consumes human flesh is also a cannibal.

Cannibalism is thoroughly illegal in 'civilised' countries, such as those of the West; even with consent. There are very few places in the world of today where cannibalism is still practiced among humans - perhaps deep within the Amazon Basin amongst indiginous tribes, and places like Borneo and Papua New-Guinea where reports of it occasionally surface even now.

It is said that human flesh tastes very much like the sweetest, tenderest cut of pork; hence it has been called 'long pig' by many of the primitives who eat it. According to a number of modern Western 'civilised' connoisseurs of this deluxe pork (serial killers), the tastiest cut comes from the forearm of a pre-pubescent female. Others who are in a position to say are the survivors of various disasters, such as the 1972 plane crash upon which the film 'Alive' was based; the survivors of the plane crash were stranded on an Andean mountainside for eleven weeks and had to resort to eating their dead comrades in order to sustain themselves. Unfortunately, they were not afforded the luxury of being able to cook the meat and had to eat it raw.

Cannibalism is a taboo in the West and is a hard limit for all practitioners of SSC BDSM.
