I'd find acceptance of incest disturbing even if children couldn't be born of it. There's so much room for it to be developed onto a child by their parent. You may say grooming your child to have *** with you is its own crime, but it doesn't even have to be outright grooming. All a parent would need to do is to push the acceptance of it, entice them, and display their own willingness onto their child. All things that could be done in innocuous ways.
If a child bites, they're potentially rewarded with a relationship that can't be escaped without moving from their own family or fracturing familial relations somewhat how it happens to a couple's shared friend group.
It just opens up huge windows for abuse. Accepting homosexuality does not open those windows since it's an inherent liking & provides no curtain of normalcy to hide wrongdoing behind. Imo, incest is only acceptable if the members never had heavy interaction in their earlier years of life or have an incredibly small age gap.
And what about niece and nephews? I would love to hear your opinion on that. I see your point between child and parent. And I like how you explained why it is bad.
I'm not implying I stand for the idea of incest.
But i can see how it works for some people in case of "not close family members" that they could fall in love/have intercourse with each other as there could be sexual tension on biological level without the influence of our socialy correct structure that has been taught to us from our birth.
especially in closed communities.
I think most of it comes from our society tbh and unwritten "rules" of each society for what can be done and can't
because in the animal kingdom it is common to have incest
but
As we are for more complex in our social capabilities and morals it might hurt more then do good.
I dunno if i make any sense but i find it hard to write something this complex down on my phone.
bottom line
I wouldn't do it.
I'm disgusted by the idea of parents and children having incest.
But a far relative having a relationship with another far relative I might understand in certain situations. Sometimes you just don't understand how this weird chemistry called love/Sexual tension works
