| Topic | Why do Americans consider cousin marriage as incest? |
| rikasa 12/01/18 4:06:24 PM #26: | Well there's a big difference, in the definition of the word and its biological and familial consequences. Not being attracted to someone you grew up with is different than your biological relation, which should be obvious since it happens all the time with people who aren't related by blood. There was a story about a while ago about an 18 yr old girl who was adopted, and she found her real parents on Facebook. When she met her dad they... pretty much instantly started a sexual relationship. They were father and daughter but never met their whole lives and it basically confused their bodies and resulted in intense sexual attraction (i already mentioned we're attracted to genetically similar people). They ended up having a baby and then the dad murdered them all and killed himself I think. I guess she was 18 and it was consensual but I see him as having a great deal of power over her that doesn't exist between siblings or cousins, and that power differential is what makes incest criminal abuse. If 2 siblings want to fuck they can and do. I read Quora. It happens a lot. I don't get anything out of insulting them. --- you are not alone ... Copied to Clipboard! |
