why is incest wrong?
I was asked this question by one of my friends. As put off as I was, I was also left thinking: why exactly? Obviously, if two biologically related people decide to reproduce, chances are that their children will have some kind of physical deformity or mental disability. However, why is the case of adopted siblings, or two sisters? why are our brains wired to be repulsed at the mere thought of a relationship between siblings? And I would like to state that I 1000% disagree with incest in any, any, context.
If we take out the chance of reproduction, incest is a sign of unhealthy childhood development. With a parent and child usually when you bring your toddler/ infant into a pediatric care they like to see how the child interacts with the parent in various situations such as how the child reacts when the parent leaves the room, how the child reacts wh...... 1 reply
There's always a huge power imbalance in these types of situations, even if the siblings aren't related. For example, if you grow up with someone, they're almost always going to be someone older and someone younger. The younger sibling will always unconsciously (or consciously) look up to the older sibling which is what causes the power imbalance. ...... 1 reply
It's wrong bc inbreeding causes health issues. We're fine with inbreeding animals though. In a large-scale study, it was found that purebred dogs were all as genetically similar as siblings....... GROSS. But even knowing this, purebred elitists will still come up with excuses for why it's okay to keep inbreeding.
Also, mixed breeds live longer on...... 1 reply

Because historically it's just discouraged to mix within households. Genetic defects etc, there's also the issue of moral boundaries when it comes to relationships within a family structure, because you know it is a symbolic family even if not related by blood. It's similar to the difference between work life and a personal life. A family is a unit...... reply
Whether something is "wrong" is really a philosophy question. Through trial and error, we determine what is "wrong". Nobody thought it was "wrong" to inbreed during Habsburg or Pharoahs times. They did so because they thought it was "right". The outcomes determine whether it is "wrong" and as we know, the results of inbreeding resulted in severe de...... reply
besides what everyone says about the birth defect thing, ive read both for and against incest. for takes account of keeping blood pure by mating in family(endogamy), or keeping wealth and fortune that would have otherwise went outside the family as inheritance, in family (like if you (female)'s father was to give u his car after marriage, it would ...... reply
I feel like it creates a situation where grooming is too easy (not just pedophilic, COCSA too). If someone starts openly having sex with their family member, you gotta ask yourself, how long could they have they been doing this for since they’ve been living in the same house since they were kids…? reply
You actually have different types of expectations from different relationship. What you expect from your relationship with your siblings isn't the same as your parents or your partner . From a young age we develop these. That's why boymom thing or incestuous relationship repulse us. Because they mix up those expectations among blood relatives reply
It's a bit of a hard question to answer because of how much nuance there is to it with step-siblings, adopted siblings, siblings that were separated at birth and didn't grow up together, siblings that cannot reproduce etc. but I think that its basically impossible to have a healthy 100% incestuous relationship because there will always be some inhe...... reply
