Define "incest."
-
For me it is really Condemned! really, really wrong! I know it's normal to be attractive to your relatives but just use your head and think about the consequences. Don't let emotions overule your head!
-
oh my, I definitely would say yes, mega wrong. Imagine a father and his own daughter, ewwwwwwwww and NO!!!!!! NEVER.
-
I think it is wrong to even start a relationship with a close relative. It's not normal and can cause all sorts of family problems. With all the people alive on this earth, you can find someone who isn't a blood relative to fall in love with and have sex with. No, I would never consider any sex with my brother, that is just WRONG.
-
I dont think its really wrong but it is really wierd as long as you dont have a kid with them
-
I can't see why it's wrong if there is no power imbalance and there are no children involved. Parent<->child sex means a power imbalance though. Brother-sister sex doesn't necessarily mean that. But damn better wear condoms and abort any offspring.

There are two reasons why incest is frowned upon: 1) Offspring bear a greater chance of birth defects. Plus, there is an evolutionary advantage to genetic diversity. 2) There is a good chance that the emotional bond will be abused to get sex. The real problem with conversations about incest is that one party is usually imagining a father using his patrician advantage to have sex with his young daughter, resulting in a deformed baby. Usually the other party in the conversation about incest is imagining hooking up with his hot, adult cousin whom he just met for the first time at a party.

In the direct I think it's dangerous. Birth defects, etc. . But in further family, I wouldn't personally see that much problem with that, as long as it's not abused. (the same for every relationship) It's said that people unrelated directly have low possibilities of birth defects. . Though I would never do that in my family, because my family has traditional, prudent values. I would be rejected from the family probably. And it's not worth it. I don't have anyone in my family I would be interested in anyway and there are lots of women outside, so why bother. . Besides like somebody said: "You can divorce Your wife, but You can't divorce Your family."

Its not about love... Its about the situation...you would disgrace your family, your friends...and ifyou want to bring children into the world to be mocked and teased their entire life, and have chaos in your marriage and love life the rest of your life...go ahead. ...but dont always think you "love somebody" until you really know what love is...and I dont think youll find it within the family. Honestly.
-
I have never had such a relationship and will not! The danger of genetic birth defects is high in such a relationship. Also, it against the law in the U.S. unless they are not related closer than second cousin. And that is still too close.
-
it's ULTRA-MEGA wrong.i cannot even entertain the thought of it.family tree-family stick
-
The Incest laws are not just about stopping two people who love each other having a relationship.They are designed to stop close relations having children together,as inbreeding causes congenital birth defects.All the Royal Families of Europe have through the ages married close relations and this has led to birth defects even madness in the family.Every now and again they will marry a commoner to inject fresh blood into the family.It is very sad when two close relations truly love each other,but it is right that they should never marry and have children.
-
Well, first of all, incest affects more than the two people involved; how would other family members feel. But also, if a child comes of the relationship, it's my understanding birth defects are likely. And I also thought it was illegal in most states. We have all sorts of different relationships in life. Friends, children, parents, siblings, cousins, co-workers, acquaintances, strangers, enemies, neighbors, etc. They all take on their own dynamics, needs and obligations to each other. Perhaps relationships with family members aren't meant to take on intimate roles. It's ok to deeply love a family member and NOT be intimate.
-
Ok, so on a lot of levels I can agree with what most people have answered here. But if I can play devil's advocate for a bit - what about all the cases of people meeting, falling madly in love, and THEN finding out they are related. I don't think that's so black and white. Imagine finding out your partner, lover, best friend was actually your brother or sister etc. You've already formed that bond, maybe over some years. What then? Laws are put in place in an attempt to protect the general welfare of the community, and this is what anti-incest laws do. But they unfortunately do not leave room for more specific situations like this. It would be just impossible to do so. I don't believe it is 'WRONG' in a situation like this. People in this kind of situation will be in enough pain and worry without being judged badly by the community. I think that if in this type of situation if the couple decided to stay together, there could be an allowance made for them, so long as they did not have children together.
-
Just the thought of it is wrong.
-
Yes but I also believe that if that is your thing than more power to you I wont be judgemental of you but it is just not for me.
-
yes it is wrong and no i wouldnt theres plently of men and women out there to go round.
-
I would have to leave the "wrong" judgment to somebody else but sex between blood relatives is a bad thing for legitimate reasons. I've never had such a relationship but when I was 12 and with a boy cousin that was 14, we were in one of those shower stalls where you go to wash of sand and salt before you go into a beach house, yeah I almost did. Nothing to do with love, more like out of curiosity. He took off his swim trunks so I took off my swimsuit. After a few minutes he got a boner, I got scared of getting caught, wrapped up in a towel and went in the house. If other people had not been near and coming in behind us, it probably would have happened.
-
I had a hot cousin... I am adopted so there is no real problem... never tried anything though.
-
It's not wrong if there's no chance of pregnancy, like if it's same-sex or post-menopausal or something, but it's still uncomfortable to think about. I've never had such a relationship.
-
It's not really about the right or the wrong but it's autority side, it's wrong to be in autority seat and expect love in the couple sense, because in a couple the two part are equal, in a 'basic' relation Parent-child, it should have a power/tutor drive, you can have autority in an incest relation without turning it in a abusive scheme. Siblings are more possible because they're no leader/parent relation between a sister and a brother.. but in our society in incest are not allowed and with reason!! For a shorter answer to your good question: Incest is wrong! Even in a sincere love story..
-
idc if your blood relation than idc its still wrong... if it is just through a marriage ok then its still weird but not wrong...
-
I had mutual masturbation withmy nephew when he was 14. I was his first sex partner when he was 19.
-
Even in the Bible incest is not wrong as long as those involved love one another. The exception to this is when it is forced rape with no love or care for the person forced; such as when Annon raped and left his sister rather than marrying her. I have not been in an incest based relationship but if it occured it would be with love not force.
-
I feel that incest between two consenting individuals is perfectly fine. The rate of birth defects to childern born in an incest relationship is higher but the rate is about a 9% chance compared to the about 7% for the rest of the population so that in my opinion is not a good reason for opposing incest.
-
WTF?
-
its probably wrong, but then again two consenting adults should be able to do what they want. avoid pregnancy for sure. i have always wanted to have sex with my mother. i fantasize about it all the time and would do it if given the chance, right or wrong.
-
"Wrong"? No. Of course not. Two adult people can enter into a consensual relationship at any time in my book. It's not mine - or your, or anyone else's - business.
-
NO & NO
-
No but I had male cousins that tried...its wrong..
