Can incest possibly be healthy?

I think Jesus Wept would be equally apropriate!
 
i think the taboo of incest in our culture comes much from protecting the young. no child should be introduced into a sexual relationship, family or not.
however, the prevelance of adult incest in our society is just as common as senators buying hookers. it's reality whether we agree or not.
in defense of those who make this choice--love and attraction is not about the blood in our veins and the genetics therein, rather about the sharing of two souls.

love and let love. :)
 
I don't agree with it and I know there are stoies on this site about it. But I think individuals(being adults) can do what they want and read what they want. Who am I to judge them? When they are consenting adults I think if the fall in love/lust with each who are they hurting. But when it comes to young children that is where I draw the line. Big No No! Children should not be subject to incest. And sorry but I feel there are no exceptions to this rule.

maybe if there were more respect and REAL love for the children, we could be more accepting of the adults who make this decision.
hmmm....
i wonder how many were sexually abused as a child?
at what point does unhealthy become healthy? if you were abused by a family member as a child, how could you ever make family "relations" functional and healthy?
 
i personally see no problem with it, as long as all members involved are of a concenting age.. but i'm probably biased, since i'm rather in love with my half-3rd cousin..or is that third-half cousin..she's my mother's half-cousin's daughter, so what would she be in relation to me? anyway, the possability was there, maybe, but i held back b/c of two things: that rather expensive looking engagement ring on her finger, and b/c of my gf..
 
Mustards better-that's a tentative no

I too have studied various historical accounts where incest was a very common practice in preparation for adulthood. Overall I don't think it can be healthy in the long term sense. Perhaps this is like you said -b/c I've only seen cases where people were victims. If I did know of a real-life incest relationship I'd still be friends with the people but man would I be shocked and weirded out for a long time.


I read some of the incest stories. Honestly I think it's a turn on for me b/c it's a society no-no forbidden and all; i enjoy them from time to time; just a different sort of fantasy outlet.

I haven't ever entertained the thought of having such relations with any of my immediate family members. Yuck-I used to pray I was adopted. I did play doctor with my cousin when we were 6-show me yours & I'll show you mine kind of thing. I believe we had crushes on each other for a while and one summer even talked of what it be like if we got married (age 12) What kind of house we wanted -dogs vs cats, and pool or no pool kind thing. Nothing happened though. I think that was because of hormones; super strict parents, we were both similar in personality and huge nerds (non popular in our only social circle school) Come fall though my interests turned to other guys. We're both married and I can honestly say I don't have hot sex thoughts about him at reunions. He has a pool and I don't.:)


that's just what I think...

MUSTARD to incest, not mayo, MUSTARD

I've once and a while read the incest stories on the site, more because of the morbid fascination with the forbidden than the actual incest. I prefer to wrap myself in the illusion that they are all just fantasty, though they probably aren't. The thought of actually committing incest is, in a word, revolting, and makes me extremely violent. Some forbidden things are just too disgusting to me.

I've always been attracted to the forbidden though, it's as if it's a pavlovian impulse, just tell me NO! and I salivate. It's odd though, I'm attracted to the forbiddenness, not the actual forbidden object. Probably because I'm so hardheaded and contrary and I hate to be told I can't do something.

Despite a couple of opportunities in the military and non-sexual venues (i.e. stealing, etc.) to act on this attraction to the forbidden, I never did it. I simply couldn't work up the interest or desire to actually do it. Actually doing it is repugnant.

Why do I feel so naked all of the sudden?
 
Funny you should mention Einstein, Eve.

He MARRIED his first cousin. Tis true. Look it up lazybones. Heh heh heh.
