Because **that ** happens all the time. Damned Barons and their schtupping of your sister.
That would probably be pretty hot. (depending on what Timmy and Tommy look like and of course if they let me watch or join in…)
Don’t these sort of posts start out with ‘Dear Penthouse’?
Was this user name/post topic correlation intentional? Am I wrong for laughing at it?
I agree. The Uncle/niece relationship in my husband’s family was extremely awkward for 2/3 of the family on both sides. Many of his children stopped speaking to him, and her children were cool, at best, toward them. Some of the sisters really held a grudge against him (but for some reason, not their sister). Others were perfectly fine with it. They chose to attend fewer and fewer gatherings because it was obviously uncomfortable for him when some family members were around.
That said, they carried on for decades. 'tain’t nobody’s business…they were happy with the arrangement and continued on 'til death.
Wasn’t this debunked?
Oh, you’ve seen it. Damn Youtube leaks of my unfinished works.
I’m sure I saw that in a movie once.
The Westermarck Effect postulates that individuals are not sexually attracted to peers to whom they were in close contact with during early childhood. While the kibbutz marriage data support this, the study (Shepher 1971) also found that the pattern of adolescent sexual activity between members of the same peer group was congruent with the marriage data (Gray 1985:215)

Makes sense. I am utterly unattracted to my sister even though I have my brother-in-law’s word that she is a Babe[sup]TM[/sup].
Isn’t this kind of the other end of the idea that the more foreign you are, the hotter* you are? People who are dweebs at home become Mysterious Exotic Strangers on the other side of the world.

Ah, thanks! Now that is more to the point. I like the kibbutz study both for what it provides and as a “not so fast!” object lesson to non-scientists (or hobbyists) about drawing conclusions beyond the scope of the data. But yes, it sure looks like Gray’s work shows we don’t like to boink those we’re raised with, as well as not marrying them. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
ETA: And, as a matter of fact, this makes me rest far more easy about my son’s lifelong friendship with the two girls next door who I babysat for and their mom babysat him when the kids were all little. The three of them have always claimed a sibling type relationship, but I’ve wondered, now that they’re at the age for dangerous “exploration”…I guess I’ll take them at their word.
Don’t scoff! I pledged my fealty to my father-in-law and have been a Democrat ever since! I’m a little disappointed that I haven’t wetted my broadsword with the blood of tyrants yet, but my marriage has lasted pretty well. I asked my wife how she felt about being trafficked. She gave me such a look!
