Incest: Which pov do you prefer?

[HeyAll]

There's the son's pov, the mom's pov, and then there's the classic 3rd person.

Do you have a preference?

For me, it would have to be 3rd person. That way, the focus is more on the female character, and both character's can be explored equally.

For me, it has nothing to do with gender. I prefer incest stories that are told from the perspective of the pursued. If a daughter is seducing her dad, I want to know what's going on in his head and how he makes the eventual decision to give in. If it's a sister going after her brother, then I want his side of the story.

For stories where the incest is unplanned, I prefer third person.

That's for reading -- For writing, it's always the female's perspective (except my very first story). I just know it better

And nice question -- I'd never thought too hard about any of what I just said, until now

I think it's hotter from the pov of the seduced than the seducer

Precisely.

I would like it from my POV -- I guess that's no surprise. But I find, despite all the stories about teachers having sex with their students, most older women I know are kind of prudes.

There's a few different points to consider.

If it's the POV of the seducer/instigator, then you get a little more story out of it before the event happens.

Thinking about it though, I think the POV I really like best is whichever of the two is more conflicted about it. That's usually going to be the mother in a mom/son pairing, but all permutations are possible.

I don't have a preference. I think they all have their charms. For example, I have a third person subjective story about a son pursuing his mother, but it is focused on the mother's thoughts and feelings. Contrariwise, I also have a first person story in the works about a daughter pursuing her father, completely told by the daughter. All can work, but provide a different kind of feel and atmosphere.

In my incest stories I prefer the twin brother's POV to the twin brother's POV

3rd person--a social services case worker.

I agree

 

[BuckyDuckman]

I think it's equally interesting to write from the POV of the seducer rather than the seduced. Please note, I'm not saying I think it's better, only that it can be equally interesting.

Written from the seducer's POV, you can add their concern "This is so wrong. I shouldn't feel this way." You can explore their motivation. For example, do they think they've been teased? How do they justify pursuing this other person?

IDK, just two cents worth and definitely worth less than that.

This is one I really love, told from the POV of an older sister seducing her younger nerd brother.
