Incest -- what's the appeal?

My opinion, it makes me vomit.

Maybe because I have a family. Or because I never had some of the “experiences” others have growing up with their relatives? I don’t know.

To me it’s creepy and disgusting but hey, whatever floats your boat. I just get tired, very tired, of everytime I log onto my favourite porn sites, or even here sometimes, and all I see are incest here and there.

Give me cuckold, cheating, MMF, threesomes, etc with NON relatives and I’m happy!

Everyone has their own kinks.

For me, nothing here bothers me more than cucking and cheating. Well, rape/nonconsent is up there too. I don't like the humiliation, lack of respect and emotional/physical pain that usually come with these kinks.

Most of the taboo stories I have read have all been loving, respectful, Happily Ever After type of fictional stories I appreciate.
 
Mark Twain once said "There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable".

Incest has been around since the beginning of mankind, both consensual relationships and the abusive ones.
Royal incestuous marriages (siblings, father-daughter, mother-son) occurred across various ancient cultures (Egypt, Inca, Japan, Korea), and in Europe during the Renaissance (first cousins).

In the 21st century, in couple countries like Spain, France, Netherlands, Russia, Brazil & others, consensual incest is legal and/or not prohibited as long as it's between adults

Lit has a whole section of incest porn.

Most of us never do anything like that IRL because of the Westermarck effect -- makes all mentally healthy people go "Eewww!" at the thought of sex with a close relative. (Not counting cousins, but that's never nearly as creepy -- there are some cultures where marriage between first cousins is compulsory, to keep property within the family. Keep that up a few generations and all the nasty recessive genes will be bred out, no Deliverance scenario likely.)

Will concur direct relatives not a healthy thing to act out in real life and probably not sexy at all, though we have seen people who aren't too discriminate talk about how much they love their family members IRL on here.

Which is.... it's nature I suppose and it's whatever they feel, is probably not by choice.

How you choose to act on those feelings matter.

I honestly don't care if this isn't a power dynamic issue, if someone did not raise their partner in a parental role and they never have children, are both adults, it is a waste of state resources to stop them, and falls firmly under the category of not my thing.
So why is it stuff for fantasy?

I can undertand it as between steps -- the Westermarck effect doesn't operate there, since they're not raised together from childhood, and with the kind of mix-and-match families that have become normal since the Sexual Revolution, the world must be full of teenagers horny for their stepsiblings, that's normal. But why is there parent/child-brother/sister porn?

I mean written porn, of course. Video can't really break this taboo -- you can pair any two performers of more or less the same color and say they're related, but that cannot have whatever thrill people find in this.
For me, step families and other pseudo-incest situations make sense for the following reason-

This is a person you can date without real issue.

This is a person you are likely to be attracted to without the actual ewww incest issue.

And it's often a pretext- oh no, our newly blended family has to share showers or bedrooms or even beds in order to save on space.

Come snuggle me, step sister. The bed isn't very big and it feels nice.

Okay, what this does is it removes blame and responsibility for however people feel.

So you have a pretext for the closeness.

That's why it is hot, it's similar in some ways to women's CNC fantasies, where it's not their fault they're having sex.

They are consenting, but they're merely not objecting, and that allows them to work through their internalized misogyny about wanting to have sex.

This gives them the pretext for sex and an excuse, it's being done to her, and she's helpless to resist, and she can always give a reason why not to say the safe word.

Similarly, step family incest fantasies provide the pretext and excuse.

Its not my fault our stepfamily told us we have to take showers together.

If you invited me to wash your back, I'd be delighted. It's sort of cramped in here, let's get closer

that's why it has weight for me- the pretext of the blended family makes the closeness that you want happen "innocently" and therefore, the opportunity is there with less of the unwanted responsibility for it.

So that's the appeal for me.

Fantasy and roleplay, absolutely. Actual IRL incest not so much
 
I haven’t seen Games Of Thrones! Maybe I should. 🤔
I would recommend it, it is worth the journey even if people felt the ending wasnt as high quality and more rushed

But

be aware, it is graphically violent and especially the first season is full of nudity of all kinds.

You will see big floppy wieners as well as nekkid wimmins.

Very bingeable.

There's like 10 episodes in a given season so even though they are long episodes, you can binge the whole series in a reasonable timeframe, worth getting the steaming service and binging it. You can knock it out easily before you have to renew.
 
Will note how funny it is that people react so poorly to naked women and especially naked penises, but the murder and rape and stuff, less complaints.

People, priorities. A visible wiener is not a war crime. There be war crimes in that story, every few seconds.
 
Sex is just pleasure, that's all.
I never understood why it's wrong for someone to have sex within the family. Mother, aunt, sister, it doesn't matter. Women.. and what should be done with women? To enjoy their bodies mutually. Life is too short.
 
Well, I can’t speak for everyone. But, the appeal to the subject of incest so first the taboo aspect. The “we shouldn’t be doing this.” That makes it more hott. And second, when you are with a family member is a different feeling. My sister and I messed around when we were younger. And we felt we could trust the other person fully. And there is a different type of love that isn’t there with. Boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife relationship. Now, when my cousin and I hooked up a few years ago. It was just about the sex. Friends with benefits. But, also, we trusted each other so it made it more meaningful. Like I said I don’t speak for everyone. That is just how I feel.
Biochemistry is biochemistry sex drive.
 
And before Game of Thrones there was Wagner's Die Valkyries, which includes incestuous twins. And you thought opera was boring.
Oh, and in Siegfried, their son hooks up with his aunt.
