    Are you okay with it?
    Are you against it?
    Do you have no opinion on it?

    I think that under the right conditions (consensual, everybody of appropriate age, etc.) it can be a beautiful thing.

    Okay, go ahead and flame me, now. I'm not sorry for my opinion, though. -_-

    I guess I'm not opposed to Protected, Consensual Incestuous sex.
    But unprotected with intent of pregnancy etc is wrong in my opinion as it is almost certain to cause disabilities in the born child (See: Inbreeding, Homozygosity) and I think subjecting a child to the worst of that (which is possible) would be inhumane.

    I'm okay with it. We (LGBT) fight against prejudice everyday, we know how hard it is to be accepted if you love someone society doesn't approve. We can't judge people regardless of who they love, even if they are from the same family. It would be at least hypocritical, in my opinion, to be against freedom of love and sex.

    Goldenarrow mentions Inbreeding and Homozygosity. Of course, it is a valid point, but science will eventually take care of it. Meanwhile, people in that situation should seek medical advice or peraphs adoption, but there is nothing wrong on being together with someone you love.

    As you say, if science can prevent homozygosity, then I fully support the idea as a form of love and sexual expression, I'm not sure if the rest of the population would be as accepting.

    I don't mind if it's consensual - All I ask is that they're completely aware of that they cannot have children without imposing an EXTREME risk of... crippling a newborn human being for life.

    Other than that, I don't mind any relationship, intimacy, sex, or whatever.
    Just... adopt or let someone else have your kids, please.

    Why people find consensual incest wrong? Aren't both partners happy together?

    That's exactly what i think that makes absolutely no sense, with all due respect. Like me, you are bisexual, with a preference for guys. Society thinks that's twisted, that's a sin, etc. We know it isn't, it is only a form of love just like any other.

    Why incest is twisted then? Why it can't be just another form of love? Saying "incest is twisted" is no different, to me, than saying "bisexuality is twisted", "homossexual relationships are twisted" or anything on those lines.


    I mean no personal offense here, just trying to debate.

    I'm alright with it. I disapprove of cases where it produces a child, but I think the moral responsibility to prevent that lies on the individuals involved, not the state or opinionated members of the internet community.

    Yes, incest is out of the realm of typical relationships, and not what most people are into. But it doesn't hurt anyone (assuming, as always, informed consent), and I'll leave it at that.

    It's 100% wrong if the two are capable of reproduction. Parent/child relationships are just as wrong, as are brother/sister, aunt/uncle/niece/nephew. It's morally wrong but not as dangerous with same-sex couples because there's no risk of birth defects, etc, but there's one big point I need to make.

    Cousin marriage is not incest. Cousins can get married in 19 states, 22 states if you're a same-sex couple or over 50/infertile and those marriages are recognized nationwide. The risks of birth defects or genetic disorders are minuscule compared to a brother/sister or parent/child relationship.

    Its an interesting question to pose. But if you dont have children together why should we say its wrong. Society for so long now has said that same sex couples are wrong. I feel this community would know more then most how wrong that train of thought is. My signature puts it best I believe, all humans deserve love. Who are we to say that its wrong even thow we dont understand it.
