Incest question

**Vance** · 05-14-2008 02:52 AM

If it didn't harm the gene pool, would you allow incest?

(This is where the liberalists and conservatives part ways)

**Ostego** · 05-14-2008 03:00 AM

No, because wether or not it does any harm, it's still my bloody sister.

**Sornaensis** · 05-14-2008 03:03 AM

No.

You know that forum called Extended Discussion?

This goes there.

Honestly, as long as they were above the age of consent and there was ZERO chance of a fucked up gene pool(or at least, more than they already are for wanting to bang their family) I would legalize it.
It's not my bloody business who they screw.
It grosses me out, but so does chewing snuff and scat play and they're both legal.

Oh, I thought it meant for myself. Yeah, if there weren't birth defects and stuff I don't see why it shouldn't be legal.

**Bearsy** · 05-14-2008 04:28 AM

I assumed he meant legalization... if he meant my family, fuck no.

lol

**Daeva** · 05-14-2008 04:29 AM

Both above the age of consent, I really don't care what or who they screw now or your situation so long as they keep it to themselves.

**Wavefunction** · 05-14-2008 04:38 AM

This thread will take a walk to Extended Discussion.

Sure, it could be legal...but if any brothers and sisters want to be marrying each other they might seek psychiatric help first

**Marvo** · 05-14-2008 06:09 AM

I don't see a problem, unless it nonconcensual sex. If both agree and they're both older than whatever agerestriction their country has for sex, I think it's cool.

edit: provided that them getting babies is possible, without higher chances of downers and whatever.

**Universal Mind** · 05-14-2008 06:22 AM

I don't think incest should be illegal. Laws against incest are worthless laws. If Bubba Joe and his sister Melba Sue want to have raunchy trailer sex, they are going to do it, and Sheriff Lobo is not going to stop them. However, they are disgusting creatures.

**skunk** · 05-14-2008 06:58 AM

i would think it should be legal. and i wouldn't look down upon people for doing it if they did it out of actually being in love with each other. if it was just for sex that might be a little strange but not I still wouldn't call them awful, horrible people. what makes your sister's vagina different from some trampy hooker's at the bar? (other than obvious disease and virus possibilities)

I, however, would most definitely not want to have sex with my sister

**AlexLou** · 05-14-2008 08:20 AM

Apparently marriage between cousins is favorable in many cultures and there is little risk of birth defects.

The only reason we think incest is disgusting is because of the genetic consequences. If I woke up tomorrow to find that incest no longer had any such consequences then I'd still be disgusted by it because it's been so ingrained in my mind as one of the worst taboos. But if it had never, in the history of our species, had such consequences then it would not be taboo and we'd probably all look at family members as potential sexual partners.

I think there might be something innate there. It might have evolved biologically as a result of the awful consequences that result from inbreeding.

**Sisyphus50** · 05-14-2008 08:46 AM

If you're going to remove the genetic abnormality consequences, you're also going to have to remove the innate sense against incest that natural selection built into us for that very reason.

A study done a few years ago found that mothers smelling sweating gym shirts would not find their own sons' sweaty shirts sexually appealing in 98% of cases. Natural selection has built it into us to 'know' that incest doesn't work, and that's where our taboo against it comes from.

**Universal Mind** · 05-14-2008 08:54 AM

No thread about inbreeding is complete without a scene from Deliverance.

It's probably the best thriller ever made, by the way.

**ChrissyMaria** · 05-14-2008 09:54 PM

I'd allow it, its not the most normal thing but, if you happen to fall in love with a family member, why should you be put in jail?

I know ive had crushes on cousins before, theres nothing abnormal about that, but I doubt I would act upon it unless they did and kept it a secret LOL...

**tkdyo** · 05-14-2008 09:56 PM

eh, my stance is that if that is what they like it is no business of mine. That is a private and personal matter.

**ChrissyMaria** · 05-14-2008 09:57 PM

I know this is slightly off topic but, has anyone here on DV actually participated in an incestual happening, a kiss, anything...

if your embarrassed then don't write it lol....

I admit I have, nothing serious or heated, but i won't say how or what or who...lol

**Vance** · 05-14-2008 10:12 PM

I remember there was a time where someone was trying to prove his chastity, and he said "I have not touched any woman except my mother!"

"............................................. That came out wrong..."
