Ah, the thrill of the forbidden. You know, those things in your house that are just begging to be touched, but are strictly off-limits.

Like the expensive vase your aunt gave you, or the fancy kitchen gadgets your partner loves to use.

Or run their fingers over the '"Do not disturb" pillow in the living room?

It's like our brains are hardwired to want to touch the things we're not supposed to.

Of course, some things are genuinely off-limits and for good reason.
