Please be mature and civil about this topic. Or else I'll bring out the hammer. I swear on every fake god humanity has invented I will.

Ah, quick to catch on Viper. ![]() Maybe because it's such a touchy subject, you could put a warning that, if it starts going sideways, that you'll close the topic if it isn't addressed in a civil manner. Now, onto my opinion. Personally, I'm very liberal when it comes to intercourse. There are 2 ways of intercourse that I can think off of the top of my head that I am completely against: 1) Pedophilia. Mainly because there's a very high chance that it is rape, and even if both parties agree with the intercourse, one of them (being under sexual maturity) has not developed enough to make the right choices. 2) Bestiality. This is basically for the same reason, there's no way to prove that the animal agrees with it, and the fact of the matter is, when the animal is smaller, it's just going to be painful, plain and simple. On incest, I do not have a problem, on a condition: - If, let's say a brother and sister, decided to go together, they should not be allowed to have children, only adopt them. Here comes the biological aspect. There's just too much of a chance that the baby will not come out right. So, prevention, and safety, at any cost. Now, it is worthy to note that I am a only child, and maybe this is why I have such an opinion on the matter. However, when going into the other incest-part (parent-incest), saying it, already makes my skin crawl. To be honest, I'm disgusted by it. However, saying that I am against it, would be hypocritical of me. Yes, I'm disgusted, but looking at it in the same perspective as the brother and sister incest, there really isn't any difference. (Again, I point to my pedophilia, if the child is like, 8 years old, and the parent is 40, I would be against it, because then it would be pedophilia). Who am I to say how other people should live their lives, when both parties are adult enough, and have come to an agreement? That's pretty much my take on it.

Ground rule, no babies, over the age of 18. Even then, incest is something we are biologically programmed not to do. Still however what grown adults do behind closed doors is non of my business as long as all participates are aware and fine with it. However it is still something that makes me a bit sick hearing about, even in the star warsy way

I guess the term: "Emotionally uncomfortable, legally acceptable" is how you could say the way I (and I assume you also) feel about it in short. Edited by Huzzahfortimelines, Jun 24 2013, 03:04 PM.

As long as they don't have a fucked-up kid with a shit-ton of mutations, I have no problem. |

Okay, to clear the misconception, incestual reproduction does not cause mutation, it raises the chance of phenotypical but not genotypical mutations to occur genotypically. To explain this to those who don't understand, if your family has a history of genetic disorder, say, Autism, having a child from two members of the same family would increase the chance of the child having Autism. It does not grab mutations out of the air and add them into the mix, though. My personal view on the biological aspect is that incestual reproduction should not be allowed, because the chance of mutation is too great. If it weren't so, I would be fine with it, even though it is technically "unnatural" (But technically so are things like homosexuality and I'm absolutely fine with that). Now, as for the social/moral aspect of it, I'm entirely accepting of it. The thought of being in an incestual relationship myself is disturbing and I really don't like to think about it, but for others I see no problem. If a brother and a sister are in love and want to live as lovers then why should we stop them? I don't think we should. They want children? Adopt. I think the taboo of incest is just a tradition that society has clung on to wrongly, like homosexuality. The issue I have is with parental figures. I don't think a, for example, mother and daughter being in a romantic relationship, even after 16/18, is really a good idea. I think the fact that a mother/father/uncle/aunt is able to have romantic feelings towards someone they should have had parental responsibility over for x many years is an indicator of abuse or statutory rape, and both parties should see mental guidance such as a therapist before entering such a relationship. I, however, would not make it illegal. I think two people mentally able of consent should always be able to love each other, regardless or race, gender, ect, if they really do love each other. Morally, I don't have any problems. They're not harming anyone. I don't have a god or goddess that says it's wrong. So no quarrel there. |

Exactly what I mean though, tons of people are, especially in cultures that don't approve of interracial reproduction, and these people are perfectly normal. There's a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to the biology of it. |

See, it's actually the comment about parents and their kids that leads me to my opinion on siblings dating/screwing. If parents would feel an emotional connection to their offspring and not a sexual one, shouldn't it be the same for brothers and sisters/sister to sister/brother to brother (because you never know). Afterall, they are raised to be friends, to know that they are brother and sister, which means they are related, family, and should always look out for each other, never have a romantic relationship. If we can say that their relationship is is acceptable, a relationship that should have been all about family, a special bond that transcends sexual appetites, then where do we draw social lines? To me, they get a bit blurry when concepts like incest are involved. Anyways, that's just my two cents. I'm not going to berate anyone who is okay with it or who participates (well...so long as it's not the aforementioned 8 year old child with a 40 year old parent or similar grossness). I'm just interested to see what opinions about my opinion are. Very interesting subject to mention on a game forum. Please tell me this will somehow become academic and/or find its way onto youtube. |
