1)I am not american.
2)some parts of society may not frown upon incest the way they did until not even too long ago, but most still do, and the law, both secular and, in most cases, religious most certainly still does, in a fair number of countries in Europe as well, albeit not in the Netherlands where I assume you are from based on your nickname.. (I am too, by the way). But even here, it's a comparatively recent development.
3)legality does not enter in the equation anyway, because the fact that it may be legal does not change the name of the act, at least not in the English language, which is what we're using here. If you are having sex with immediate blood relatives, the definition of what you are doing is still engaging in incestuous sex, irrespective of whether it is legal or not.
That's just what it's called.. if you're sticking it up someone's bum, you're having anal sex, if you're sticking it to your sister, you're having incest, at least in English, irrespective of her age.
It wasn't long ago that incest was the commonly used term, both legal and in common parlance in Dutch as well, even though now the accepted term is bloedverwantschap and incest is relegated to the legal function of defining sex involving a minor and their adult blood relative.
4) in other european countries, and I believe in several more around the world, it can lead to jailtime, depending on specific circumstances
