I had sex with my brother but I don't feel guilty

A woman slept with her sibling for years and has good memories. Not many people understand their relationship, she says.

Incest - tough topic for some to discuss. Personally, it makes me wince to the point of not being able to read the whole article.

Harmless consensual relationship?
Immoral?
What if there's pregnancy involved?

[Sam!]

Theres always stories like this in magazines. I find it disguisting to be honest. Whats the point in resorting to incest when theres plenty of people to throw around.

[xDramatick]

I personally don't see much of a problem.
They can choose who to screw and can't choose who they fall in love with.

I wouldn't advise pregnancy getting involved but then again, it's not my decision.

[Ross]

I did think this was about you for a second, lmao.

Um, incest is such a weird topic to discuss.

I don't think it's right, but if you've never seen a brother/sister for years and you suddenly meet them and find an attraction, I know that's some mental thing (it was on a programme) I suppose, you can't really judge them.

I think it's only ok if you're old enough, and if they don't have kids. Unless they're lesbian or gay. It's kinda sick though, but I don't think anybody should judge people on it. It's their life, if they're happy, let me do whatever.

[Lauren]

Okay. I'm extremely closed-minded and intellectually challenged about this, but I don't care.

It is wrong!.

Mentally, and physically - wrong.

Any resultant pregnancy is worse, and completely selfish and stupid on the part of the brother and sister (whom I shan't refer to as 'the parents').

[Tom4784]

I agree with Lauren, It's just disgusting. I just don't get how anyone could do it, unless they didn't know they were related.

Totally agree, they are old enough to choose who they want to take their underwear off to, as long as they don't become pregnant

Oh thanks Ross.

It's certainly a provocative title.

Definitely difficult subject, cringeworthy for me. As Scampi said, there are stories like this all the time in magazines, I remember one where two siblings didn't know who each other were (separated) had kids and then found out afterwards. Jeeeeeeebuus.

[Tom]

Personally I wouldn't want to sleep with my sister and I think its disgusting but if other people want to, its mutual and they're careful then theres nothing wrong with it really ...

Actually no, I withdraw that. I think its disgusting and people should only be having sex with someone if there are no risks, physical or mental, involved. I know there are risks with normal sex but they're magnified with this; if a child came out of it its likely to be disabled, or it will be, I'm not sure which.

dear lord! Wonder if she gave her dad a blowy... Oh dear lord!

I agree, if its not a problem for them why should it be a problem for anyone else
But I think the line should be drawn at pregnancy.

[andyman]

cant be any worse than bex & luke kissing...

[Ruth]

It's wrong. I guess if people haven't met up for years and years and then meet up, they can't help it if they're attracted, but they can help what they do about it. And having children in this situation would be selfish beyond belief.

[\PJ/]

It takes the term brother and sisterly love to a whole new level.

[Matt10k]

I saw something on tv a few months back where a brother and sister, that met in adulthood, fell in love.

They got taken to court and were forced not to see each other for weeks. They were told the maximum sentence for incest is life imprisonment. Eventually, they were released but ordered not to have sex.

It was sad to see each of them crying because they were scared they may never get to see each other again, or may recieve a long stint in jail.

Personally, I think it was wrong and it makes me shudder just thinking about it but I found the courts decision ludicrous.

For one, the woman was infertile and for another- how the hell they gonna know if they're having sex or not?! Keep them under 24 hour surveillance?

It was a victimless crime so all the court forcing them apart business and telling them they could go to jail for 20 years, sounded more like something to come out of nazi Germany, not the UK- because I couldn't see what they were being charged for? Other people's disgust maybe?

They were a private couple for obvious reasons, I think, considering she was infertile, they should be able to do whatever the hell they like together. It's no concern of anyone elses...

[bigbr0ther]

My only concern would be actual intercourse because of the risk of pregnancy as I am against abortion. But all of the other sexual acts I don't think are a big deal as long as it's consensual.

[bananarama]

My first instinct like others is to say it is wrong.....However i see some broadminded people on the thread worth listenng to. Surely our very origin must have come from incest at some point in time..Then are we all a product of wrong!!!!!!

I hate the principle of dictating to others what they can or cannot do especially when no one is affected but themselves.. What other people think or believe is personal to them and should not be imposed on others.

Having said that due to in breeding problems I think it should be allowed providing one or both are sterilized first...

[usaFtw]

makes you question the society they live in.

Despite my first post sounding very closed-minded, I agree with the above statement.

I still, personally, find it wrong. But I am not one to apply my own moral framework to the rest of society - and so if people want to do this, providing there is sterilisation (for their own, and the babies sake) - I wouldn't find an issue.

It's victimless, it does not affect me in anyway at all and choice of partner should be relatively free will (inc. consent).

You don't sound closed minded on this subject to me. First instincts indeed natural instincts are to think it is wrong......Which I believe it is.

However I ask myself is it wrong enough for state or religion to interfere and make people unhappy......As long as the in breeding is prevented I think a live and let live aproach is the right way....

[kerri]

To all the people saying they haven't got a problem with as its up to them there both adults are you for real? Theres so many reasons why its wrong, morally and legally for starters its a criminal offence so therefore you can and will go to prison, and what about there poor parents there son and daughter sleeping together xx

[MR.K!]

LMAO ! I think the title of this thread should have quotations around it - otherwise it makes it look like you had sex with your brother

[Chrizzle]

*shudders* How can people justify this? Its disgusting, gross, horrible, hideous ARGH. I feel really ill thinking about it.

I know someone who fancied their cousin, and I spent ages trying to tell her not to, and she was like 'wahh you cant choose who you fall in love with' but a few weeks later after they decided to 'give things a go' she realised that it was wrong, and ended it immediately.

Its unjustifiable imo. Eugh!

[Magic]

I thought that was you confessing!

[andyman]

Lol going through the threads and WTF??
That aint right.
