What is it like to have a hot sister...

… if you’re a man?

It’s been said that the idea of having sex with a sibling has been taboo for so long that the mere concept is supposed to be revolting, unless you’re a truly depraved motherf__ker.

But I find that hard to believe… we all know MTOS’s who are so attractive that you’d have to be dead not to be drawn to them. Surely her brother is not 100% exempt from this?

I don’t have any sisters, so I can only find out by asking. And ladies, would it be the same for you if you had a hot brother?

Well… I wouldn’t say my sister is hot but she is attractive. I can also say unequivocally that when I look at her I do not see a woman…I see my sister. In the past I had to wrestle with myself just to step back enough to try and evaluate if my sister is good looking or not from an objective point of view. It wasn’t easy to do.

I think the difference here is knowing someone versus not knowing them. Sean Young looks very nice to me but the few times I’ve seen her speak outside of a movie (Letterman and Politically Incorrect for example) I was majorly turned off by her. I mention that as an example of how even a good looking woman can get ugly real quick if her personality and what not are unattractive to you.

Thus, my older sister, who I know very well, who teased me mercilessly while growing up, who beat me up when I was young and who I beat up when I was older, who tattled to mom on me (even when I was in college and she was well past college) is anything BUT an attractive woman to me. I love her (it wasn’t all bad growing up together…just kids abusing each other mostly) but she is NOT a woman in my eyes. She’s my sister and that’s where it ends. I don’t need any societal taboos to keep me in line on this one.

[sub]Reverse all the gender related verbiage in here to apply to sisters looking at their brothers and I think it still holds true. [/sub]

I have a hot brother. I think you hit it exactly on the head. As a matter of fact, I really didn’t realize how good looking he is until my friends all started drooling when they met him. Smart, funny and kind as well.

Doesn’t matter. He’s still the kid I talked into jumping off the roof holding an umbrella. I don’t see him objectively.

My brother, if you ask my friends, is hot.

I don’t see it. I still see the little brat who pulled my hair. Who is a bit of a dag and who threw up all over me in the backseat of the car on long trips.

Having said that though, he has a heart of gold, and he’ll make some woman very happy one day. Just not me. Not in a million years. He’s my baby brother. End of story.

My sister is, apparantly, hot. I never thought sexually about her. Couldn’t even if I tried.

I was attracted to my sister when we were teenagers.

What’s it like? Not much different from when you’re attracted to a coworker at the office but for one reason or another it isn’t going to go anywhere. I don’t know about you but I’m attracted to a rather large portion of the female population and most of that is irrelevant to anything but momentary salivations and hmmms.

This is a WAG,. but I think a pheromone situation going on here. I have 5 attractive sisters, and if I even think about sex with them I get nauseated.

Moderator’s Note: “Should we have this particular moral taboo?” would be Great Debates. “What’s [fill in the blank] like?” belongs in IMHO.

I dunno, ask my brother. rim shot

My older (2 years) sister is a very attractive lady, and was consequently very popular in school while growing up.

I’m gay, so this never bothered me at all.

But it was strange, in school. I was not popular, but I was well-known, because I was her brother. It’s funny to think of it now, how I had few friends, but how nearly everyone could call me by name if they wanted.

My brothers are both attractive hardbodies. It’s somewhat disturbing.

Do I find them attractive? Yes. Am I ATTRACTED to them? vomit
It’s a gut reaction on my part, I couldn’t even think about them nood without feeling sick to my stomach. (nudity is not something that generally bothers me)

My husband’s uncle has been living with his (my husband’s) sister for the last 10 years. It’s creepy, but we’ve grown to accept it.

Carry on.

My sister is stunningly beautiful, an actress. No, I’m not attracted to her. She’s just my sister. It’s impossible to explain why - that’s just the way it is.

Well, don’t keep us in the dark, seawitch! Did he manage to fly like Mary Poppins, or didn’t he? :wink:

tracer - Sadly, there was not enough surface area in the umbrella to prevent him from crashing into the rosebushes below. The moment of glory was the following week, when I convinced him to take a friend and a king-size bedsheet. :smiley:

He’s 34 now, and still convinced that a big enough sheet and a tighter hold on the corners would have worked just fine. How could I be attracted to a doofus like that?

[sub]Those of you who have met my husband: shaddup. He’s an adorable doofus. It isn’t the same at all[/sub]

Shouldn’t that be “sisterf__ker”?

Hey buddy, mind if I come over for dinner some time? :smiley:

I can’t add any more than that though since my sister is 16 years younger than me and I used to change her dipers. Though I did have a buddy with a nice looking sister, who would have killed me had I asked her out.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and risk being called a pervert. (I love the internet, where no one knows who you really are.) I’ve always heard people talk about the idea that the incest taboo is instinctive so that the mere thought of sexual relations with a sibling is revolting, but honestly, I’ve never felt this revulsion. My sister is what I would consider “hot,” and I see her the same way I see any attractive young woman.

Of course, for moral reasons, I’d never have sexual relations with her even if I could (not that I ever could, since even though I’m not revolted by the idea, she, like most people, probably is.) But sometimes, at family get-togethers, I’m afraid to so much as give her a hug, for fear I’ll be involuntarily giving off some sort of extremely slight “aura” of desire and she’ll detect it.

It might have something to do with the fact that I was usually away at school as she was going through puberty…

A more difficult twist…

what about cousins, particularly first cousins?

there, you don’t have the “I fought with him/her when we were 5” factor, usually, but you still have a very high level of taboo…
I have several female first and second cousins who are very very attractive, and it’s hard to ignore, but also not something that actually causes me to feel uncomfortable around them.
I don’t think someone lusting after a first or second cousin is automatically gross.

Very likely, actually.
