Mom son incest

This is a three beer conversation. There's no answer to the question that begins to adequately address all of the elements, much less one that's broadly based on data rather than conjecture. And the discussion is never free of unexamined bias, there are too many hot-button issues related to personal experience.

One part of the answer is nothing more than self-fulfilling and circular reasoning: people who want to create popular porn for whatever reason see that the demand is high for incest porn and so produce a lot more of it, and there's so much incest porn out there that people are bound to be exposed to it more frequently than many other genres and this perhaps creates an interest and fuels demand, and, and...

There was a porn performer, Kay Parker, who had a unusually magnetic and warm screen presence for the time and the genre. She made a series of incest-themed porn movies. People liked Kay Parker and so they watched those movies. And so porn producers carried on with that series because the titles themselves had become a brand with or without Parker.
 
It's because of the taboo. Very simple.

Taboos aren't what they used to be. Many things that were sexually "forbidden" in the past no longer are forbidden. Anal. Interracial. Others.

As human beings, we all (or most of us, anyway) understand that delicious feeling of doing something you are not supposed to do.

Having sex with your mom? That's still taboo. That's still a hard line. Stories about mom-son sex are testaments to the ability of the sex drive to overcome any obstacle, no matter how strong it is.

Sophocles understood this over 2000 years ago when he wrote Oedipus Rex.

Mom-son sex is the ultimate forbidden fantasy. That's why it's so popular.

I agree, but going to add one more thing

Porn. Kay Parker's Taboo was a big deal back when it came out, and it had some story and conflict to go with the sex. That began to open the fantasy up to more people. Fast forward to internet porn where no one knew what you were watching and it really blew up. Mom son porn(well step, but we know...) is always one of the top searches on sites, its top in story form here, and any site that sells it(including amazon before they decided to cater to bible thumpers) make bank on it.

So all of that leads to more curiosity and more people watching it and realizing they have had some of those repressed feelings of passing fantasies at some point. Others, like myself, who could barely tolerate their mother see it in the sense of, not for me, but the idea A son would want to have sex with HIS mother is a turn on.

Maybe. I don't know how other people came to incest stories. Until I saw this post, I'd never heard of Kay Parker's Taboo, and while I checked out some Internet porn in the 1990s and early 2000s I don't recall incest porn being a big part of what I looked at. My own experience with the taboo/incest genre was entirely literary. An interesting question is how much overlap there is between porn viewership and erotica readership. I have no idea.

I gather from the comments of some of my readers of mom-son stories that I've tapped into something that goes a long way back for them. That's not so for you, apparently, and it's not so for me, either. For me, the appeal, when I started reading these stories probably around 2000 or so online, was, "Well, that's freaky!" I liked the craziness of it. The flouting of conventions. I like tension and resistance and conflict in my erotica, and incest is the best at presenting those things.

Completely agreed, there's a matter of distance and delineation for the readership which makes it 'okay' because they aren't imagining the real people in those roles. Personally, my opinion of my own bounces between acceptance and loathing, but I can still read and enjoy the genre.

In literature, I think it also gives a certain advantage to the writer, in that the backstory for the characters is more-or-less already written just with the titles of mother and son. You don't have to put all that much work into their relationship until the point the story begins, since (almost, I guess) everyone reading will have a mother and can project elements of their own lives onto the page. Though this does go against my previous point somewhat, I'd maintain that the vast majority of those who enjoy incest as a genre would be completely opposed to actually doing it.

Similarly, I'd extend the same sentiment to readers of NC, another (hopefully) universal taboo.
 
I had a comment on a recent story that indicated the reader was regularly having sex with his adult daughter IRL. I don't really believe it, but I have avoided rereading it because it makes me queasy. I know it's not the nature of this thread but do people think I should delete it, respond to it or just ignore it?

Incest stories seem to attract those “I’ve been banging my mom for 20 years” comments. Some of them write a whole story in the comment section about it. I consider them “wacko” and delete immediately.

Since Kay Parker's name came up, now seems like a good time to point out that she passed away on Oct 14 in L.A. at the age of 78.

Honey Wilder is a little younger, and she's still kickin'.
 
My own take on it is that when a boy starts thinking sexual thoughts at all, who is the woman he's closest to, who is nearly always around? It's his mother. But he picks up right away on the fact the culture disapproves of it, so he represses it and adopts the attitude of his culture as he matures. But there's always a grain of that first desire, and that's why the thought of mother/son incest is so attractive to him.

He's the same guy who used to hit other kids, but was called out on it, and became a well-behaved boy, but still follows football and boxing because it's basically men clobbering other men.
 
I mean, what are all those novels about Navy Seals and mercenaries and commandos about, anyway? There just aggression porn. They're just easier to publish, because violence isn't as taboo as sex.

But getting back to the topic, mother-son incest porn is also popular, I think, because while boys don't have the hots for their own moms, they do sometimes have the hots for their friends' moms. The story allows them to put themselves in the place of those friends.

In my story "Our Family's Little Secret," the guy doesn't get to screw his mom until he screws his aunt. Once that taboo is crossed, it's easier for him to think of his mom as a fuckmate, especially since she's standing there naked by the bed when he cums into his auntie.

I'm always guaranteed a few emails about how something or other in an installment reminds the correspondent of "hot times I remember with my sister/aunt/mom..."

I admit to curiosity about the motivation for offering these little nuggets of wish-fulfillment to a stranger based on reading a porn fantasy. I'm pretty sure that something fundamental about the process of telling stories connects people whether or not the story is any good at all.
 
What I keep saying is that the over-saturation of porn is what's pushed Incest to the forefront. For decades now, you've been able to get all the BDSM, ATM, orgies, bukkake, non-con, etc. that you could ever imagine in several central locations for free. It's lost its excitement value, because people have consumed enough of it for it to be commonplace.

A lot of video places are still restricting or wink-and-nodding incest content, which means it's a little harder to find. Step stuff is everywhere, but "real" content isn't so widespread, and the odds are that the sites catering to it are a little dodgy. People need something new to tickle their pickle, and they're traveling farther and farther down the forbidden rabbit-hole to find it.

Eventually, people are going to burn out on Incest as well. Where is it going to go from there?

I don't think this is quite going to happen, the reason being that while incest porn and incest written erotica may become increasingly commonplace, adult incest in real life is likely to remain taboo, so it won't lose its sizzle the way some other kinky categories have. I also think human psychology is so weird that we'll always find things to get off on. Consider interracial erotica. One would think we'd be past the point of finding something unusually kinky about people of different skin colors getting it on, but I don't get the sense it's true.

Plus, written erotica has an advantage over visual porn in that the author can explore the characters' feelings. Even if the reader has been exposed to incest erotica over and over, one can create a character for whom it's new, and the narrative of a character being newly exposed to something always has some kinky interest.
 
I think there are a few of reasons for that.

The first is that the general notion of incest and its taboo nature, which many people find hot.

The second is that incest has a particularly sensitive nature, coerced or forced incest for many is a massive turn-off. In a family relationship, it is usually the parents that have the power not the children and therefore it is safer to write, and enjoy, a story where the typical physical nature of the characters would mean that the man could more easily reject his mother's advances. What I mean by this, is that there is less possibility of a boy being taken against his will by his mother than with a father/daughter.

Boys (IMHO) are much randier and more ready to fuck anything than young women. The story therefore becomes easier to accept.

I suspect most literotica users are men.

Like everyone else in this thread, I find the idea of incest IRW abhorrent, there are no excuses. However, as a fantasy, it turns me on. I had a comment on a recent story that indicated the reader was regularly having sex with his adult daughter IRL. I don't really believe it, but I have avoided rereading it because it makes me queasy. I know it's not the nature of this thread but do people think I should delete it, respond to it or just ignore it?


I had a similar comment on my father / daughter incest series and, like you, I don't actually believe it. I think the commentor was just trolling.

I left it but ignored it.
 
I have yet to wrote a mother/son scenario, although I am considering one.

I've given up trying to figure out why certain things turn us on.

I have a daughter. Never, EVER once even thought of her inappropriately.

And yet I read / watch father daughter stuff all the time. And enjoy it.

Does that make me some repressed perverted monster? No. I fully understand the difference between fantasy and reality.

With the mom / son stuff, it depends on how it's done. Most of it is just ridiculous. But then again so is most incest porn in general.

The idea of seducing, or being seduced by, someone we shouldn't I think is the key element. It's wrong, we KNOW it's wrong, but we do it anyway.

Or should I say, the characters do it for us.

In the end, fantasy is normal, and can be very healthy, as long as we of course keep it in check.

This is how I see it, too, but for me it's OK. When I write a mom-son story, I see it as a license to be ridiculous. Most readers (myself included) of this genre are not overly picky on issues of plausibility.

Been awhile since I said this so for the newer posters.
Of all the categories here, things like Sci Fi, Non human and Erotic Horror give free reign to make up anything you want because they don't deal with reality and you can make up your own.

But of all the "sex" categories, all this can and does happen in real life. Two of these Non/Con and Incest I nick name the crime kinks. These are along the lines of fantasy because they're best off that way because when they happen in RL its not a good thing. But here its about the kink. Now in non let's be honest the thrill is in the crime be it fictionally, but that's another conversation.

In that light I feel making an incest story plausible is a challenge. To come up with some type of scenario where a reader can say to themselves "I could see that happening". Of course at some point every story devolves into porn absurdity and fiction has to fiction, but there are ways to make better stories than mom has boobs, and I want to touch them!

That's what i tried for in my 3 part series Caring For Carrie.

And from the positive reviews I feel I succeeded.

And I hope no one took my comment about "ridiculous" scenarios in porn, specifically incest porn, as an offense.

Like you said, fiction's gotta fiction, porn's gotta porn.

"Better" is in the eye of the beholder. There are mom-son stories that are longer and have more buildup to create an air of plausibility than mine do. There's obviously a large readership for those stories. Some of them do quite well. Your stories tend to be longer, and I think your readers like them that way, and I think you like them that way. That's a legitimate perspective.

But I don't think that's necessarily better. As a reader, I prefer short stories that cap out around 6 pages. I agree that to make a mom-son story plausible in few pages is a challenge, but I still for the most part prefer such stories to longer ones. That said, I went the opposite route with my 8-chapter slow build series that I published back in 2016-17. For me, though, that's the exception, not the rule. I tend to like my mom-son stories to be light-hearted, with a dash of fantasy and even a bit of silliness.
