I was always stuck in the middle when deciding what to think of a situation like this.
At first, I went with society and thought that 'incest' between a brother and sister was wrong. Mainly for the two following reasons; 1) It was just disturbing to me. You grow up alongside someone who shared much of your DNA (perhaps you even grew in the womb with this person), and shared such good times and hard times with him/her, but once you reach puberty or adulthood, it turns from love to romance??? 2) The child that can result from this situation. I'm not trying to say that the child would be a "mistake" if born. No children are mistakes to me. But a child born from incest are known to most likely have severe deformities due to the mother's and father's DNA being so similar. Also, when the child is old enough to attend school and one were to discover his parentage....imagine what kind of torment that child would have to endure. The person who discovered this would go and tell this person, this person would tell that person....well, you know how each and every one of us can become such a gossiper! This child would be stigmatized endlessly, and bullying leads to numerous troubles for children and teenagers.
I was 100% against a brother-sister relationship due to these two reasons.
But as I thought more about it, I began to think this to myself;
What exactly makes romance between siblings so wrong? Besides what I stated above, what other reasons are there? Is this simply an idea we have created on our own of 'incest', and if yes how are we fully positive that it's the right idea? What if we, in some insane way, are abusing one's right to love?
These are just my thoughts; Parts of me think it's wrong, but many parts are questioning whether it's wrong or not.
What do you guys think?
The thing is, I don't like any of these options. I'm neither for nor against. I'm very open-minded, so I would never look down upon or judge someone who was involved in a relationship like this. I, however, would never ever do it myself. As long as the brother/sister that are in a relationship are careful and use protection, there's no legitimate reason why they shouldn't be together. Society considers incest a taboo though so I'm sure a majority of the comments for this pick will be along the lines of "GROSS!" or "WTF is wrong with you?" I however, as said before, am neither for nor against it (but not undecided either).
Oh, and sorry to be a Psych nerd, but it's all thanks to the Social Intuitionist Theory (that emotions precede morals. So a lot of people disagree with it since they have the initial gut reaction of "eww" and can not give a good explanation, other than messed up babies, as to why incest is bad.)
example???
I'm a cross dresser
But I believe people are so grossed out by it not so much because of biology but because that's just how they've been raised. It's taboo, disgusting in our society. Children are strictly socialised to think that and are therefore not going to question that. (Sociology nerd here!)
Also, it's not uncommon or abnormal for children to 'experiment' with siblings.
what on Earth??? Really?? just UGH..
me and my Brother loving Each other yea totally Normal to SICK people????????
Emagning me and my twin brother sammy UGH..UGH..UGH..Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww x.x
Is this strictly sister.brother? Or any? Like adopted or half or what?
Cause adopted isn't really anything. Ya know. Like they'd only be related by a piece of paper. o.o I don't really agree with it, but I don't really see it as wrong. Ya know?
like I*S*I*S beheading,Plus as member of the Transgender community,you could it was my
incestuous crush on my mom that planted the TG seed with ion my my subconscious,leading
that opened the door to lead me down this path to come the Trans-person I'm today.
Plus to this day there other members of my family I have huge crushes on,,,including my
own twin sisters.
To whom I have long wondered what it might been if eather one of them could of them
being my girlfriend.
It's not the same as marriage equality or cross-dressing, and people shouldn't equate it to those things. Rather than the mere fact that people find incest repulsive (which is not necessarily a reason to ban something), there are logic-based reasons as well as these emotion-based reactions.
Ultimately there's more at play here than "let people love who they want!!". There needs to be consideration of the impact it can have on resulting children, as well as the possible victims of abuse that incest allows. It's for these reasons that prohibiting such relationships is acceptable, and even desirable.
I would never engage in an incestuous relationship, but it's not my business if someone else chooses to do so, and I don't think it's my place to judge if it's consensual and nobody will be harmed by it (ie: the children born from such a relationship)
