Ridiculous laws against consensual incest along with other forms of discrimination, prejudice, ignorance, bullying, and ridicule don’t exactly foster an atmosphere of open and honest discussion or reliable research. Including step-relations (stepsiblings, for example) or adopted relations, as some anti-incest laws do, then again, incest is very common.īut even if we only include half or full-blooded siblings, parents and their adult children, grandparents and their adult grandchildren, and aunt/uncles and nieces/nephews, incest is common enough that everyone knows someone who has been involved in incest, especially if we include people experiencing reunion Genetic Sexual Attraction (the meaning of which includes the fact that they were not raised with or by each other).Īs I said in the short answer, nobody knows for sure. About half of US states will marry first cousins. It some cultures, marriages between first cousins are still very common. If we include first cousins, then incest is very common, and always has been. But there’s another part of the definition of incest that needs to be determined: what relations are considered incestuous ones? I’ve already made it clear I’m talking about consensual sex. This answer is not about child molestation, sexual assault, or rape. This is what I call “consanguinamory” or consanguineous sex. This answer is addressing consensual incest, in which I include, in addition to adults, minors who four years or less apart in age when force or coercion are not used. Regardless, rights are not reserved for the majority. You’re in the company of royals and peasants, urban dwellers and rural folk, the wealthy and the poor throughout history.
If you have been, are, or want to be involved, you are not alone and it doesn’t make you bad or sick. The short answer: Nobody knows for sure, but it appears to be common enough that you know someone who has been involved, whether you know it or not.
