Incest is more common that you think.  People just don't talk about it.\n\nI worked with a bunch of women in NY amd most of them were abused as kids.  My best friend who is Jewish was raped by her grandfather - a Rabbi - from 5mths old to 16 years.\n\nIt happens in all strata of society.

Whether its ok or not, depends solely on you. \nSome people find it ok and others find it gross. As long as you feel you want to do it, what other think have no importance.\nAsk yourself and you will get the answer

It depends alot on the circumstances involved. Incest happens. There is such a thing as "age appropropriate" sexual experimentation between siblings. This isn't wrong - it's just natural human behavior. There are instances in which the child intentionally seduces a parent, the child knows what he/she is doing, and the parent succumbs to temptation. These are the cases that the rest of the family almost always pushes under the rug if they find out about it and the child admits the intent. This doesn't make it right, but I personally feel that the criminal penalty shouldn't be as severe as if the child were only a ten year old who didn't know any better.\n   I think statutory rape, assuming both parties were willing participants, is a witch-hunt charge. If the older party was within three years older than the younger party - there shouldn't be grounds for staturory rape.\n    I think people get way too caught up in trying to regulate the sexuality of others. In the process, they punish most severely the thing that appeals to them most.\nThere isn't a single one of our 40+ yr old congressmen or legislators that would not like to enjoy the sexual pleasures  of a sixteeen yr old hottie - but in order to hide their desire from the public they come out hardest on the thing they desire most.\n    I think our country needs to be alot more liberal in the sexual arena, and they have to stop letting the moral minority make the rules for the majority. But, that being said, I also think that anytime a vulnerable person (under 14, retarded, confined, etc.), is taken advantage of by an authority figure, parent, or other adult it is wrong. And any type of sexual activity in which only one party is capable of or willing to give their informed consent is wrong... so if you talk to yourself when you masturbate be sure to say yes.

Let's break down my life:\n\nMy wife had a wonderful childhood and has very supportive parents, she is very gay. My sister and I were both molested and raped by our father, I am gay - she isn't. Sorry to be blunt, but by just three people it becomes quickly obvious that childhood abuse has nothing to do with it.

Even if the incest is enjoyable to both parties, if they are not consenting adults, then it definitely has a damaging effect. Even if they ARE supposedly consenting adults, if one of them was "groomed" for it (i.e. if the incest began when one of the two was a child) then that person is not really in the emotional and psychologically mature state to HAVE or give informed consent. \n\nI know plenty of survivors of incest in their childhood, who insist that it had no effect on them but their lifestyle and behaviours and health and relationships just show so obviously how it has damaged and stunted their emotional growth.

Why would they tell you? Are you hospitalized for an illness that is found only in the children of incest? The main reason why incest is discouraged is because of the higher probability of genetic defects and medical problems. The only reason I could think of why they would break this news to you is because a doctor was about to tell you what's behind your medical problem.\n\nMany cultures and religions look down on incestuous relationships because they have seen the deformed babies and abnormal children that resulted from these unions so they created religious stories to discourage such relationships. Christians in particular are more adverse to this because once they came to power around the fall of the Roman Empire, they wanted to convert everyone to Christianity. They did everything they could to denounce the gods and culture of the old Roman Empire that had oppressed them.\n\nThe Roman Gods were adapted from many religions, but mainly from Greek mythology where many of the stories involved incestuous relationships for example the Greek god Zeus was married to his sister Hera and (if I remember correctly) Athena was their daughter. In Roman culture incestuous relationships were not that common or generally approved of. There were instances of Roman rulers in such relationships, but it wasn't considered againts the will of the gods since they have such relationships. Of course Christians like to think they're above everyone else, but if they actually apply a little logic to their own mythology of man's creation then by their book, everyone on the planet is a child of incest, because God only created Adam & Eve. So if any Christian gives you crap about how you were born and trying to make you feel bad for something you had no control over, tell them to shut the f*** up.\n\nIf you want to how to handle the situation, I suggest you don't tell anyone, except your doctor and only do that if you have a "mystery disease" he can't figure out. Yeah, I know... kinda late for that considering the posted question, but don't tell anyone else. Even though your parents did it, don't do what they did. No sex with family members.\n\nAs for your parents/siblings... they're still family. They are the ones that took care of you, taught you ABC's and 123's, threw you birthday parties, gave you christmas presents, and still tried to give you the same love and caring that occurs in every other family. Your origins and their relationship shouldn't change how you feel about them or make your experiences together invalid. \n\nJust tell them you love them...\n\n\n...but you're not in love with them. =P

It is not a sin, actually it is perfectly fine and has been done by many people.  Your relationship to her is exactly the same as your brother to your brother's wife.

Incest is defined as "Sexual relations between persons who are so closely related that their marriage is illegal or forbidden by custom" Personally i would believe it would be wrong depending only upon certain circumstances. Also it does depend on where you are some jurisdictions consider only those related by birth, others also those related by adoption or marriage.

how do u feel about a family would be the first thing, because procreation is not recreation. the next would be where r u most comfortable. (please don't let it be the backseat of a car)!{ make sure u tell them where u stand on arse sex, because they all like to try}

I suspect what you're asking is why are sexual relations with close biological relatives proscribed.  From a health standpoint, the liklihood of birth defects from such union is quite a bit higher than if people only copulate with others who are not closely related.  That risk grows with each generation that accepts sex among closely-related people.  It's why it's illegal to marry your sister, your aunt, your niece or your first cousin.  The sorts of birth defects include both physical and mental shortcomings, and are often severe.

there's definitely a taboo associated with it, as you will notice from other posters' answers.\n\ni guess it depends on where you see this going... if you intend to pursue a relationship with her, it may be legal or illegal depending on where you live.  even if it is legal, expect people to talk and stare and speculate about your future two-headed children.  if you don't intend any sort of relationship, keep the contact purely familial.  maybe you're a kissy family, fine.  but if you're feeling sexually aroused it might be wise to back off.\n\nincidentally, there is a couple in my town who are married with children, and they are also first cousins (their dads are brothers).  their kids are fine, there is actually enough genetic variation among cousins to keep genetic problems at bay MOST OF THE TIME.  however, this couple has caught hell from neighbors, other family members, etc.  people generally aren't fond of the idea, and will speak their minds on it.  making such a relationship work requires more than love, it requires very thick skin.

Well it would not be incest because its not really you. It would not have a soul which would make it hm mm dead but alive. Now yes I understand it would have your DNA but to be in incest there would have to be morals involved which would not make this incest because your clone would not really be real without a soul. So if it pleases you to have sex with it I do not believe this would be bad just easier for you to enjoy the pleasures of sex with one self. So do not be bothered with others comments on what you think in your preplexed mind. So this would be the best form of mast ur ba tion.
