Do you find incest wrong?

[Sentox6]

I dunno, never tried.

A related question, though, do you find the idea of sisters (preferably twins) having sex to be less wrong than other forms of incest? Alot of people seem to for some reason.

For some people, it seems that the degree of objectionability is strongly correlated with the level of aesthetic appeal.

Personally, I find incest between brothers equally wrong on the basis of religious convictions, although I'll admit it's not as visually offputting. If you base your objections on genetics, though, then same-sex incest wouldn't be wrong at all.

Still, I don't think it really matters once you reach second-cousin separation.

I'm starting to agree with some of the other guise on here. 'Hey, it's okay to fuck your sister, woop-woo! It don't hurt no body!'

Really? And if you like cutting yourself to the bone and bleeding out everywhere, it's okay, because it don't hurt no body! Because you're into it, so that makes it okay.

So that guy loves to have sex with that dog over there! It's alright, the Dog seems to be enjoying it, none of my buisness!

You can't just sit off to the side and let sick shit happen, people. Seriously. Everyone needs some form of morality and rules to live by, where you find them is your buisness. But if you can't tell something that's inherently wrong, then I feel sorry for you.

 

[tthor]

to an extent. The main reason incest is wrong is because inbreeding leads to genetic deformities in offspring (and since we don't want little children being stuck with webbed feet or mentally impaired etc, we don't want siblings humping.)

but as long as they never have children, I am kinda ok with it. Tho i can't help but wonder if siblings falling in love with eachother might be a sign of some deeper emotional/psychological problems.. I'll need to research this,

 

[Phisi]

Not really, love is love and if they want to have sex then they can if they want as long as it is between two consenting consentable people but I think that they should be responsible for any problems a child, assuming they have one, has as the risk is considerably high and there are other alternatives e.g. adoption and IVF. I have no right to interfere with what people want to do as long as it harms nobody which I think is a major problem in our society, too many people believe that other people should stop what they are doing when they are not harming anyone because it is against their principles e.g. Gay marriage, gender roles and even which religion to practice. If you think that homosexuality is wrong then don't be homosexual but don't force others to not be homosexual as they may believe different and it doesn't effect you. This is the same philosophy I have used for my opinion on incest.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Morally wrong? Uh, well, no, I don't see any reason why it could be considered an evil or reprehensible act, but my upbringing in modern society has deeply imprinted a reflexive disgust at the notion... one that I'm quite content to leave thoroughly ingrained in my psyche for the rest of my existence.

Unless, that is, I find out that I've got a ridiculously hot third cousin (or second, but that's... pushing it) from a foreign country that models lingerie and thinks I'm the suavest sonovagun on the planet. I, uh, might have to reevaluate my stance under those circumstances; it'd probably just boil down to whether I think the taboo would make it gross, or make it a special kind of hot. I mean, if she's got an accent... that's like... disqualifies the whole "related" thing anyway, cuz, they like... do that where she's from. That seems like a rural Ukrainian thing, right? If I've got an underwear-model third cousin from rural Ukraine, definitely, in a haystack.

 

[wfpdk]

not really. I'm not the one trying to bone my family members so it's none of my business how other feel about each other. if someone in my family was into incest I would surely give them unending amounts of shit for it but i would never take a true, honest moral standing for or against something because it's taboo.

 

[tobi the good boy]

Uhm, really? This many people seem to think that having a root with someone related to you is perfectly reasonable?

The very Idea is pretty off putting, this combined with the fact that it's Illegal has lead to my conclusion that, Yes. It is wrong.

 

[tkioz]

It's one of the few taboos that still make sense in a modern context. A lot of people don't realise that what they consider "silly" religious conventions such as not eating pork or having blood transfusions originate from times when it was a very very good idea to avoid doing those things (the blood transfusion thing was taken from "imbibe" human blood).

Granted a lot of those taboos have lost their relevance, but some haven't, such as incest, it's still a very very bad idea, it's harmful emotionally (there have been studies) and genetically.

 

[Filiecs]

Perfectly fine to me, then again I'm also okay with certain forms of beastiality, pedophelia (as long as they stick to masterbation), and homosexuality. (Ironically, this is took the longest to get 100% used to)

What DOES make me slightly worried, however, is when people say that people like me have mental issues or are going to doom the future of humanity.

You just grouped people who are gay in with people who fuck children and people who fuck animals. Yeah, I think you do have some issues to sort out.

First of all, pedophiles do not fuck children, child molesters do. Secondly, so what if I grouped gays into the same group as every other sexual attraction, I said I was okay with it, didn't I? The only reason I was uncomfortable with it was because of my damn religion. (Which I changed)
Furthermore, I'd rather live in a society where people can express their personal preferences (as long as they do not violate our natural rights) then a society where people are jailed and shipped off to mental institutions just because of thoughts and preferences that do not harm other people. I am not going to argue about beastiality because that is not the point of this thread.

Stop trying to make it seem like I support the violation of human rights and the torture of animals, because that is not the case.

 

[HassEsser]

My mind says no but my body says yeessss. . .

srsmode: as long as its siblings/cousins and no babies are made, then I couldn't care less, just, please, count me out.

 

[Jandau]

Depends.

First of all, I'm assuming we're talking more along the lines of cousins or brother-sister, not 50 year old guy and his 10 year old daughter.

So if we take a fairly normal pair of people who love each other and just happen to be related, I'm generally fine with it. Even with them having kids.

However, only on an individual basis. The genetic consequences of inbreeding generally take more than one generation to get bad, a single generation of inbreeding shouldn't result in anything major (or anything at all), especially if the relation isn't too direct (cousins, half-bother/sister, etc.). I do object to systematic inbreeding through multiple generations, since that's where the trouble starts...

You know, some time ago, this arguement could be used for homosexuality.

Sorry brah, but if you're fine with people wacking off to kids, then you've still got some issues.

 

[stormcrow5]

As long as no kids are born into it, I say its fine

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

As long as no kids come out of it, I don't see why people object to it so much other than "EWW! IT'S WEIRD!!!". While I don't see how anyone could be attracted to their sister or something, I think what goes on between rwo consenting adults blah de blah blah.

 

[Vakz]

What goes on in the bedroom of two consenting adults is of no business to anyway else.

This comes with a huge "BUT!" of course.

BUT! Obviously, it would be quite terrible if it resulted in a child. Since genetics don't like siblings or other close family producing offspring, it's quite an issue.

I suppose you could legalize incest between same-sex people? Then again, it is legal for people with genetic diseases (that would be diseases who may pass on to your children, for those of you who do not have English as first language) to have children; even those who are almost guaranteed to cause problems for their children, so I guess to some degree it's not THAT bad if two people who are close family has children? Discussing this with a genetics-expert would probably be a better idea.

 

[Mr Dizazta]

My God, thread like these scare me sometimes. I mean come the fuck on. The whole idea of incest is sickening. I mean relationships with family members can be tough, now add the intimacy of sex to that. Not to mention, what happens when the couple breaks up.

Under what basis do you hold these claims? I base mine off of our rights to life, liberty, and property, the very things allowing us to voice our opinions without being killled right now.

'

Ha! that's a damn good call. I should be more open minded. Sadly I can't seem to look at incest as being something "Right" because of the genetic defects that can arise from the overlapping of DNA, Homosexuality doesn't cause an issue like this.

 

[DustyDrB]

Does anyone stop and think about how god damn awkward the internet is? Because I am. Right now. Between this and seeing several comments a day about how someone blew their load on their keyboard because they saw a cool trailer...I feel like every five minutes, I just say to myself, "Awkaaaaard..."

That said, in regards to this thread: Awkwaaaard....
