the problem comes in that you are forced into a specific very small subset of potential victims for your incestuous desires. father daughter? the only way to increase your pool of potential mates is to have more daughters. brother sister? the list goes on. it requires both parties in a very small pool of people to be into the relationship. often times, one party is not. into incest with your mother? and she isn't? guess what your only option is. surprise, but you cant get a new mother. its why incest is still viewed as such a negative, because of how many incestuous relationships are actually rape. and even beyond actual physical assault, if you talk to certain groups, pretty much everything is sexual assault now. guilt your mother into blowing you even though she doesn't really want to but does it for some reason? rape. trick your sister into giving you a handjob? rape. a mother using her authority to get her tongue into her daughter? rape. not necessarily forced, but its the same reason police officers and teachers and other persons holding positions of power cant have consensual sex with someone under the age of 18 (at least where I live). the legal age of consent is lower, but if it can viewed that you may have used your influence to pressure the partner into agreeing... rape. which is why I find it hilarious that so many incest junkies cry for incest to be in everything on here, but complain when a guy has a woman handcuff him and ride his dick.Incest has nothing todo with Rape as long as its consentual Incest.
Incest has a bad reputation due to the fact that genetic defects in both parents cant be fixed and therefor are prone to be inherented from a child. Thats why reproduction in first degree is bad and therefor incest was declared forbidden.
Incest perse has nothing todo with cp oder underage forced sex of any kind.
Since we are now able to detect genetic defects in all humans we could forbid non incest but genetic defective pairs/ couples where the potential father or mother as a geneteic defect thats highly likely to be inherinted and bad for the child, from becoming parents.
But we dont because that would be eugentics like the Nazis did so it is legal for non incest but genetically defective persons to reproduce even it is a 100% given that the child will be born with defects.
So how can we as people allow one pair of potential parents to allow reproduce defective offspring and on the other hand criminalize pairs which are incestious but where it is not even a given that the offspring is defective.
Also if something should be forbidden its the reproduction in an incest relationship not the sexual encounter. At least if youre not an religous nutjob. Although thinking about adam and eve ... we are all children of incest anyway. .)
Not that many people would go for an incest relationship in reallife anyway but to mark it as rape is just offensive and ignorant.
I agree with you that saying all incest is rape is obviously a awful claim not based in reality at all. but if you play many of these incest games, it is very clear that a lot of it borders on sexual assault. one party usually says no I don't want to its wrong, and the other always finds a way to force it on them. even if they get into it afterwards, you cant deny that many people would still find the initial act objectionable. so saying the two aren't the same? correct. saying the two aren't connected at all? not so correct.
I would finish with something hilarious and probably pretty accurate, but the crying that would ensue.... no one wants to hear it.
