Crime and Punishment

[BlackSnake]

I was just reading on another forum about what is incest. I believe it has also been discussed here.

Would it be feasible to have none subjective rules/laws for Lit categories.

For instance, for incest a story has to contain sex between:
son and mother or,
son and father or,
brother and sister or,
brother and sister or,
daughter and mother or,
daughter and father or,
sister and sister or,
niece and aunt or,
niece and uncle or,
nephew and aunt or,
nephew and uncle or,
stepson and stepmother or,
stepson and stepfather or,
halfsister and halfbrother or,
etc....

Because we are from different cultures, maybe we could debate and come up with a universal standard.

just to add this:

it's not incest, but I think, sex between a teacher and it's pupil/student is also forbidden.

The dynamics of the teacher/pupil, or step father/step daughter relationship may not rise to the legal definition of incest.

However, it is taboo and yes, damaging with regard to anyone in a trusted position of guidance/mentoring to have sex with their subordinate.

(NOt sure I said that well.)

Anyway, my opinion is that incest is sex between family members, by blood or by residence.

As I said, legally, a step parent may not be considered to be involved in an incestuous relationship with his or her step child, but the dynamic of that relationship can mimic that of a father.daughter depending on the depth and time involved as a "family."

Ack! I am not answering a question here. I am only muddying up the discussion.

In my opinion, any family sex story should be considered incest regardless of birth parent, step, adopted siblings etc. I am suggesting a definition this broad as the average reader may not be aware of the legal ins and outs of incest.

The teacher/pupile, doctor/patient thing would be what I consider to be "taboo."

There is some potential to break down the categories as such: Incest versus taboo, or perhaps have a category called "Incest and otherwise taboo stories."

Babbling....guess I better run now!

I would agree that if you share blood or a home it's incest. My story "He's not my brother" concerns an adopted sibling sexually invovled with an adoptive sibling. I put it incest because it is, even though they don't share blood.

This is good. Not just for incest, but for all categories.

Some clearly defining spectrum, be it broad or not, just as long as it doesn't cross over to make it confusing like the incest/taboo.

Say say if the two or more are related by blood, marriage, or adpotion, not matter how wide the web of the marriage my spread then you have incest for the sake of posting a story into a category.

Same with loving wives, etc...

That isn't incest by any reasonable definition.

Some relationships are incest or not according to date and location. Ancient Egypt had brother-sistem marriages. The Old testament has a duty to marry a deceased brother's widow; now in the UK it's illegal.

Deceased wife's sister (i.e. sister-in-law) is in and out of UK law like a yo-yo in the last two hundred years.

First cousin marriages are illegal in some parts of the world (including some US states, I understand) yet they are not that uncommon in the UK and nobody particularly notices.

Same surname marriages are considered unlucky, even if there is no traceable relationship.

I think anything that happens between your family could be considered Incest on this site. In the USA it is generally frowned on to get involved in a step relation or an adopted one. The problem is that you were *raised* as brother and sister.

Also I've gotten comments on my Mother-In-Law story saying that it was incest. I hadn't thought of it that way, but I can see how others would.

Anything in the family is considered "incest" and i'm sure would be fine published on this site in that category.

What I'm hoping for is a standard that we all from different parts can agree on. This may mean compromising when it come to stories.

For instance: Not including references to a teen's age, when it is at all posible for some stories. 18 or 19.

Because, I think it should be 25 years of age for some. Some times including age don't add anything at all to the story.

I don't think that that's going to happen = (
