Moral discussion: would you?

[General_Potatoes]

Oo, how hot is she? Actually scrap that. Probably. It would make for some awkward dinner times if parents found out though.

You:"So me and (insert name here) had sex the other day."
Parents:"Wait, you did WHAT ?!"
You:"uhhh..... this chicken is delicious."
Yeah, that would be awkward.
OT: I would. depending on how hot she is :3

 

[William Keller]

Ok, this is hard.

Direct Answer: No, I wouldn't. I think there are more important issues in relationships than plain attractiveness. In general, I wouldn't... get "intimate" with a woman unless I have spent a hell of a lot of time with her before (1+ year).

In fact, the important thing is that you have a psychological bond between you: you need her and she needs you. Together you are one. If she just asks you, without you feeling a non-sexual affection for her (the psychological NEED to take care of her, to comfort her, to be with her and so on), then, by all means, don't do it. You would end up going hunting with your father... you being the game.

Otherwise, if she really were special to you (and as long as there's no blood connection), feel free to do anything you like.

 

[Woodsey]

And btw, right before you said the step sibling is attractive, you had said my life, except my parents were never married.

One of your parents marrying someone else who has kids is hardly uncommon.

OT: Eh... maybe. If they were smokin'. I wouldn't have it become anything more though.

 

[Brandon237]

Step sibling with no blood relation? Sure. Anybody who's not blood related is fine by me. Especially if they put moves on me because that immediately says they don't find it weird, so why should I?

This, and if you made sure that it didn't go too fast, you would be seeing them every day, also, if you tell the new parents very quickly about it, then awkwardness might even be severely reduced because you were never like family, just two people who suddenly got pulled together. It has potential to work well with good timing and whatnot.

 

[badgersprite]

Oh, all the shippy fics I've written about this very situation...

Tell me, were my step-sister and I heated rivals who made smouldering eyes at each other before being forced to live under the same roof and confront our sexual tension? Because I could so go for that.

 

[Jonluw]

Depends on how long we've lived together.

If I don't think of her as family, hey sure.

[Suicida1 Midget]

Well....damn, theres no blood relation....., but then if the cats outta the bag...., fine just to shut you up, just get it outta ya system. ( Casuse in a few months ill be outta the house for school. Got an apartment for both college and work.)

 

[Farther than stars]

Hmm....
Alright, I'm not sure, but how about a reverse question?
You and your brother/sister are adopted from different families, and at some point in your lives (when you are both of age), he/she suggests "relations", how do you react?
Personally, even if he/she isn't related by blood, they were raised as brother and sister, so therefore it's still kind of wrong (that's my opinion of my situation, I'm still stumped on the original).

Unlikely to happen because of the Oedipus complex, but for aforementioned reasons, still cool with.

Now if you don't mind, I'm going to cause some form of bodily harm for mentioning the work of Freud in a serious manner.

Yes, but you're forgetting that Oedipus complex only theoretically applies in a situation where pheromones are produced by someone of a similar genetic composition. In this case that still wouldn't be true.

I'm referring to not feeling attraction to those you've known since your 4 or younger, distinctly possible I've mentioned the wrong freudian idea here.

No, you have the right "idea", but I'm pointing out that it's just that: an idea, a theory - something for which there's not enough fundamental research concerning biological factors to prove its relevance.

 

[Griffolion]

I personally wouldn't to be honest. I think a little restraint and keeping the family in order is better than having sex with a step-relation and running the risk of pregnancy/STI's (I mean, I don't know where she's been) and just general awkwardness and probable blowout if/when we are caught.

I won't call it wrong or anything like that, if someone else wants to do it, that's their choice, but I personally just wouldn't for those reasons.

 

[Scarim Coral]

No I don't do "incest" eventhough we are not blood related and no matter how hot she is (even with my moral standards if she is super hot than it would be hard on me due to never had a girlfriend but I stand on my words). I will be her step brother and nothing more than that. Beside with the scenerio with me being 17 I would be underage to even make a move on her.

Fair enough, that allows to me to not mention Freud positively, so that's a plus. Unlikely ever to be proven either, considering the way to do so would be.... ethically debatable.

 

[Patrick Dare]

Who cares? They aren't blood related to you and even if they were really the only moral grounds not to have sex with someone blood related to you is that if you had kids they might have problems (so really no kids and it should be fine though not socially acceptable).

 

[Grabbin Keelz]

I say "tread painstakingly carefully". Depending on your society's and families' cultures and social mores, if discovered you (both) risk being subjected to anything from a slap on the wrist for being secretive about the relationship, to being completely excommunicated from the families.

You know, I'm not too far from this scenario.

Half cousin, two years younger and quite attractive.

The answer: no

I'm sorry, but I have to ask: what in the world is a "half cousin"?

My uncle had an affair.

 

[Zykon TheLich]

At 17? If I found them

 

[Hedonist]

Have you ever seen the movie "Cruel Intentions"?
If you even think this is a dilemma, you should consider watching that movie.

 

[PurplePlatypus]

It seems too awkward and I see too much potential for it to blow up in my/our face one way or the other so probably no.

 

[enistoja]

It's happened before, as long as it's not a blood relative, it's a valid relationship. I'd rather make sure she's the one I'd want to be with first, ebcause if manure hits the ventilation system, it's going to be an awkward couple of months until I move out...
