Everything was Fine Until...

An accidental Incest idea.

College Gal from Florida brings her new bf home for Spring Break, because granny is not getting any younger. When they go to Granny's house, he notices a picture on the mantle. When asked, Granny blushes, admits the family secret- the man in the pic was an airman based at Pensacola who granny had a fling with. That resulted in GF's Dad being born 8 months after the airman redeployed.

BF recognizes the man in the pic as his own grandfather...

Ok, so CG and BF are first cousins. That's no (legal) problem in most USA states - see this map - and cousin marriage is a crime only in the Dakotas, Texas, Oklahoma, and Nevada. Nevada? What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, eh? In some cultures, cousin marriage is *required*. So IMHO this plot bunny is a little thin, with only a minor taboo involved, alas. For a little stronger inadvertent incest, see my story That's My Girl.

True it is legal in most states to marry your cousin but has become more of a tabboo in recent years then in the past so it may create a minor drama in the story.

Yes cousin sex is not publicly accepted.

I don't know about that because I don't pay much attention to zillions of conflicting opinions except for their entertainment value. Even if such rantings had any validity, we'd still have regional and subcultural variations, ie different "community standards". And just because someone 'says' they're opposed, doesn't mean they don't have dark secrets to hide.

Myself, I'm all for it. Alas, the cousin I was hot for (we're both honkies from southern California) turned into a dipshit (some time after we had sex) so we had no long-term hookup. My partner's parents, lace-curtain Scots-Irish from Washington and North Dakota, are first cousins. Their grandfather forbade their marriage, warning that, "Yer kids will be retards with tails!" Not quite -- their kids are both super-achievers, very bright and well-built. Any commonality? We were all raised mostly as Methodists.

One could write good, workable stories that explore this from almost any viewpoint, set variously where cousin-fucking ain't no bit thang, or where even kissing a step-kin or in-law is considered horrendous incest, or where scriptural rules are enforced. Of course, the stronger the taboo, the greater the guilty pleasure of breaking that taboo. All just fodder for the author's imagination.

just think of the potential dramatic conflict in him tryinng to decide whether to tell. Especially when GF wants to introduce Granny to his family...

1st stereotypical reaction: OHS NOSE, IT'S INCEST!
2nd stereotypical reaction: Big deal, your folks are cousins too.
3nd stereotypical reaction: Big deal, your folks are brother and sister.
Or something like that.

OK, maybe not the parents, but and aunt-uncle couple at least. Anyway, the guy is apprehensive until he finds that incest is common in the family, or at least accepted.

The legality of something has nothing to do with it being a taboo or not. It's all about how "squicky" it makes you feel. And cousin-incest is a nice middle ground that will squick out some, but not others. Hence the potential for drama.

Now sibling incest (or, my favorite, "twincest") would really get the squick-meter pinging on all cylinders!

Oh yeah, twincest. Only beaten out by clonecest. Especially if the person was cloned as an adult, and raised the clone to maturity. So they're twins AND parent+child. But wait! Is their sex incest, or masturbation, or narcissism, or what?

The only possible answer is: Yes!!

Someday I'm going to write a story about identical twins, one gay, and one straight, and the gay one seduces the straight one into a bout of gay twincest. That should be good enough to offend just about everybody.

Better yet, the gay one also seduces the straight one's partner/spouse, or vice-versa. Throw in (via the partner/spouse) some bits of mature obese transgender interracial BDSM -- and if you're from Texas, don't forget the Mustang GT. And make it a tear-jerking tragedy. Maybe the pet dog gets run over by a blackmailer. You can play with many levels of revenge there. Don't forget to resurrect the dog ala Pet Sematary.

Somebody, stop me now, or I'll just suggest even more scenarios.
