This is a tricky one. Of course there are biological and genetic reasons why incest is 'wrong' but in the modern age of contraception, whereby we can be pretty much guaranteed that intercourse will not result in pregnancy if we are careful, this is now a smudgy issue.

I'm pretty sure that most people would still see it as 'wrong' but as for why that is, there really isn't a clear answer.

If it isn't causing anyone emotional distress then fair enough, although it's worth remembering that a relationship like this could not lead to marriage or children and that perhps both parties would benefit from looking further from home for their sexual partners.

I may even be a little concerned that someone who is so attracted to a sibling may have some deeper problems when it comes to forming attachments outside of the family group which might warrant further investigation/assistance. . .

I'm afraid that's as much as I can contribute seeing as I have never felt sexually attracted to my sister (much to her current boyfriend's disappointment, as we won't agree to a threesome!Lol)

Well you did ask!!!

Yeah I probably agree with AK here (not surprising, she's a bright gal!) - I have no problem with it so long as there is no pregnancy, no emotional attachment more than typical sibling love, what's done is purely an experimental thing - ie, what happens when i do this.
So, CONSENTUAL incest on those terms I don't really have a problem with - lets face it, two teens growing up together are probably LIKELY to at least entertain such thoughts.
More often, I fear, most incest happens in terms of rape, which is obviously wrong.

And having said all that, I have never had any feelings for my browthers (all older, the youngest is 6 years older than me!).

Now, sister-in-laws.... maybe that's different!! lol!

Welcome to Pixies, btw Cherry Popper!

well...what I've done was not a100% incest but it was something close. His parents and my parents was (and still is) a long time friend and he knew me since I was five years old so he's almost like another one of my older brothers. We were very close and I could say that he was closer to me than my own brothers sometime until I was a teenager and one day we got VERY CLOSE...LOL. At the time, it waws fun and very excited but after everything has been said and done....it felt awkward between us. The question of we should or we shouldn't have done it came up a lot (but we did it again anyway...:)) .

As others have said, pregnancy is a big no-no. Also, I would be very wary of power imbalances unless both people were already living on their own.

I don't think the no-children issue is as much of a showstopper as some of the other replies, though--some people simply don't want children, anyway. If both people are such a big roadblock is gone.


As for personally: Moot--I have no sisters.

I just can't imagine having sex with my brother or sister....or any family member!!!!!

Whatever floats your boat!!

From what I have seen here, this can be a touchy subject for some people, and more often than not, incest is usually associated with abuse/rape so a lot of stigma ends up being attached to it.

However, it is not uncommon for mutual incest to occur derived from lack of parental attention, and a fairly normal curiosity of the opposite sex in younger children. Often a case of "I'll show you mine if you show me yours".

Honestly, I don't really have a problem with brother/sister incest myself under certain conditions. As long as it isn't rape or abuse, or a substitute for outside emotional attachments, a cover for a deeper psychosis and precautions are taken.

I do believe that in our society, it is still seen as "wrong". The cultural taboo has not disappeared. Many experience sex with siblings as a result of adolescent curiosity but I actively discourage it due to social mores.

It turns me on.

I haven't brought this up before but here goes . . . I was adopted when I was six weeks old. My first cousin, David, and I were really close - more like brother and sister than anything else. When he committed suicide a few years ago, an aunt (by marriage) said she thought we'd end up getting married! I let it go and figured people say stupid things when they're confronted with death.

My point is, even though David was not my blood relation biologically, spiritually he *was* and I never thought we'd have a sexual relationship. I think people who are turned on by incest might be lacking some crucial social and emotional development. Just my opinion . . .

[Glenna]

yes... i have to admit, i never slept with him but i did get together with my cousin a lot when i was younger... we were both curious and extremely turned on by one another
