I'd like to add some more examples to make it clearer what we are talking about here. Privacy intrusion for example is being judged and felt differently depending of what I have been taught (facial expression, sound of mother's voice when you are younger, later other influential people). Sexual intercourse with the husband is usually allowed and accepted, as well as family members reading your letters that are openly lying around or them having created a disorder in your home. You also learn that the unknown is usually the unapproved that by experience of the elders protects you from harm in the future. So when being raped, being spied upon, robbers in your house, you usually bring up this revolting feeling that protects your living order. Learning morals is an advantage for your group's survival.

Interesting question. Why do I find other people`s farts, especially when they stink and their shit disgusting, but I do not find my own farts and shit disgusting, no matter how much they stink? Same thing goes with vomit, wounds and any disfigurement. Why do I find eating insects, worms, eyes, heads, chicken feet and blood too disgusting to try, but enjoy eating chicken legs/wings/neck, fish and crabs? Why do I find seeing on TV real killings disgusting, but not faked killings? Why can I not step on an insect because of the crunching sound that is produced, but have no trouble swatting a fly? Why do I find certain animals like alligators, spiders, etc repulsively ugly unless I believe that they are babies, and then I find them attractively cute? Why did I find urine therapy and the taste disgusting in the beginning even though I believed it to be beneficial and it tastes just like warm beer? Why are people disgusted by me just mentioning that I drink my own urine? Why do I find just the thought of eating crunchy insects or slimy worms disgusting, even though that I know that they are tasty and healthy, but have no problem eating crunchy insect like looking chips or slimy worm like looking spaghetti, even though I know that they are not the most healthy thing to eat. Why do I find tongue kissing a turn on with women, but the thought of doing that with my mother or with a man, especially one with a beard, revolting? Why????--
