Are there any reasons for your fixation on incest? Not that it’s against the rules here, I’m just curious. --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 06:46, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- I'm currently watching the Game of Thrones. The director has been pretty intricate on those types of themes lately. Also other types of media repeatedly keep bringing it up. For instance a recent survey shows that among the top search terms on adult websites involve terms like "stepmom" and "stepsis" etc. Other example are political or social debates like "only abortion in cases of rape or incest", "those people marry their cousins", or "you're an inbred", "opposite-sex siblings shouldn't share a room". You also find other themes that are not directly incestuous but allude to a fixation on the sex lives of one's relatives, such as parents instigating a purity pledge. You also find biblical stories wherein incest is a major theme (i.e. Adam and Eve's offspring, Noah's offspring, etc.) although surprisingly pastors don't often discuss them or gloss over it somehow. I'm also generally interested in legal precedents that contradict themselves. For example, in most countries it is illegal for half-siblings to marry or have sex due to genetic closeness; however marrying your double first cousin is legal even though you share the same amount of genetic material. So I don't personally feel fixated myself; rather I am interested or responding to (a) society's fixation and (b) issues that society tends to ignore/gloss over even though its right in your face. 92.2.70.125 07:44, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Very interesting, thank you. Supposedly the laws were instated over hereditary concerns, but that doesn’t explain why middle‐aged people are allowed to breed, or why people with their own diseases can do so. I also think that for centuries consanguinamory was legal for royalty, but not for anybody else. --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 08:12, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Double first cousins share 25% genetic overlap. A half aunt shares only 12.5% genetic overlap. Therefore it would make sense that double-first cousins be off-limit before half-aunts. In practise its the other way round. A half-aunt is illegal in most jurisdictions while double first cousins are not. So lawmakers across the world do not have a basic sense of mathematics, basic biology or even common sense imo. 92.2.70.125 08:21, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- I believe that sleeping with a legal sibling is considered incestuous. So if two different families from different populations met and the offspring married, their siblings would be ineligible for marriage and mutual carnal knowledge. --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 18:51, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
