Why are incest games so popular?

You saying all people can afford the most expensive cars and computers?
The very first car was invented in 1885, and cost $1000. In today's money that's just under $30k. That's not a casual purchase for most people, especially if it's not proven technology, has absolutely no frills (like seat belts, mufflers, or more than two pistons), and no road in the world is designed with it in mind. That's a 'rich person toy' that would only get any use a few times a year.

As for computers, well, most phones qualify these days, and companies are literally handing them out for free (with compulsory phone plan subscription, of course). And this from a device that used to be the size of a meat locker that only a few militaries could afford one of.

CRISPR will continue to be developed, perhaps replaced by something that does the same job but better and even cheaper. And what was the rich person's tech will become commonplace. It's just a question of 'when'.

Kinda moved the goalposts there, no?
Look at how health care is today. Many places in the world the level you have and got access to depends on how wealthy you are. If all you can afford is a old car, and your computer is 10 years old. Things such as screening, in-vitro fertilization and whatever else of non basic health care is probably far outside your reach. And no matter how far we progress tech wise, such will always remain. Unless people start believe the world will turn into some form of utopia with equality of all people regardless of wealth and social status...

So yeah, his solution to "fix things", would be very limited at best.

We all have access to computing power that no one (individual) was wealthy enough to afford several decades ago.

Admittedly, the economics of health care are different to the economics of commodity industries. And IMO the health care industry has challenges that are unique even among "service industries" (that's the best term I can think of). I'm not saying it will become commonplace in our lifetime or even or great-grandchildrens'. But eventually it will, provided we don't destroy ourselves first.

Well, on the terms of destroying ourselves... Seeing how heatwave in India and Pakistan these days is almost cooking people alive... And Russia pushing a nuclear rethoric against unfriendly countries. Unless can fix climate challenges and make global peace. We all passengers on the crazy train and there is no stop to it...

not some socialist lite conversation about economics and globohomo warming.
Wait...you don't believe what climate science is telling us, or the topic just doesn't belong here?


Oh, and for the record.....incest is best. If I wanted to watch porn I could get it anywhere. I'm here for taboo shit only.

What is there to believe? It goes from “in 300 years we’ll see an X global increase” to “THERE’S PEOPLE LITERALLY MELTING IN FUCKISTAN RIGHT NOW!” every other day. I’m generally unsure of what we’re meant to believe regarding it, except to be scurred.

I ageee on incest. Loli is better though. Loli incest is betterer.

Aaahhh. I get you. Yeah there is definitely some hysteria around the issue, and I think that falls into the media having the general need to keep us all scared. More money.

But it's a real thing, and the science behind it is settled and actually easy to understand.
This is a short amusing video that actually does a pretty good job of summarizing the basic science...
If you are interested anyway. If not no big deal.

No premarital sex.
No extramarital sex.
No divorce.


Fuck around and find out.


If sex isn't sacred, then sex isn't sacred.
If the people choose sexual disorder, then they get sexual disorder at least.

If the people behave like sexual objects they will be treated as such.
If innocence and impressionability is only found in the preteens, the people can expect hebe/pedo to manifest in their sons.
And if the loss of a blood-deep family member is necessary insurance that a long term relationship isn't just another flakey sexual relationship of convenience, people can be expected to intuit the value in it.

People look for qualities where they are found.
What qualities are found in a minefield of sloppy 300th, provenly flakey divorce and cuckoldry threats with a near 30 year old average age of marriage.
Even sloppy seconds does nothing but degrade marriage and spouse.
This maybe interesting for those who engage with a hefty dose of sexual objectification and shallow expectations.
I have no interest.

So to answer your question:
What qualities can a son find in his mother, for instance.
Devoted, invested, settled, deeply bound, perseverant: a life-long relationship of ups and downs...
This relationship is inherently more difficult to break than some rando.
It's also extremely difficult to initiate for many very good reasons (like compatibility in the first place): and especially the potential corruption or compromising of an existing unique and deeply pure and sacred relationship type.
It's a playful slow burn where even the softest core exhibitionism and tease carries amplified potency.
It's interesting.
Does this seem like it can undergo increases in popularity?
Incestuous reproduction is severely unethical: but this doesn't matter as much with meticulous contraceptive practice and when genetic dead-end sexual relationships are fine.
It's extremely dangerous irl, I don't fully understand the spiritual aspects, and it's probably always a terrible idea.
But even so, sadly I'd rather pretend-fuck my imaginary mother than bother marrying into our critically mismanaged "civilization" of promiscuity and ideological vomit.

tldr;
Pre/Extramarital sex and divorce changes where qualities that people value sexually may be found which serves to explain a rise and fall in popularity of sexual disorder (ie. incest).

Ya know, I've always felt like the incest genre just kinda made itself and is self sustaining only for profit. To be specific:

1. One site out there had a few incest videos, which did well.
2. Competing channels on the site make (or just relabel) their own content.
3. Competing site sees high traffic at the first site, starts "making" videos
4. New players providing content make content (or again, just put incest in the title) to break through
5. cycle continues until somehow you can't move without every third video/story being about incest.

For the same reason NTR and loli/shota are a thing, people like taboo. They want wat they can't have, whether it's a hot mom or a sexy married woman.

In my case I sense is the most common source of 'milf' characters and scenerios where to mix them with younger females+MC or simply make them share a roof with MC without being an actual couple. You two can always be 'landlay/tenant' of course... :rolleyes:

If you put it this way, from author's POV, many tropes lead to this conclusion almost 'forcefully'.

Actually its quite weird that people consider incest taboo. Incest was totally normal thing ages ago, when people discovered risk of Incest then it become taboo and even crime and then it becomes perversion. But as society moved on there popped out wide are of other perversion and some of them are already normalized in western sociey, like same-sex relations and pre and extra martial sex. But somehow people consider Incest still taboo. we have modern society ability to stop risky pregnancies.

and this is not defence speech for Incest it is just wondering.
