Is Consensual Adult Incest Ok?

Apparently Germany’s high court is about to rule on that very question.

Generally, I think what consenting adults do with one another in private is their business.  But that being said...ew.

...ew.

That says it all.  It is natures way of answering, “absolutely not ok”.

Incest is not only the most controversial subject to even discuss,but it is the source of mental and psychological damage to millions of human souls.
just the idea that incest can be consensual is tragic in itself.
look up at all “casualties” of this sick and negative practice: survivors of incest websites,and learn and understand the real life painful price of incest.

The probable only deceiving support for “consensual” incest will be in the pornography websites that “promote” and “endorse” incest as their favorite way to “rip you off” and “steal” your money,exploiting your ignorance of this subject.

I believe incest is ok when both parties are of age (18+) and consent to the act. I’m not sure I agree on the concept of allowing such people to breed (not that I have any place to speak, I’m not a breeder) for the simple fact of a high risk of birth defects in the child. Either way, it is their decision, NOT OUR’S.
You can’t stop someone from loving someone you think they shouldn’t love. You can’t stop them from having children, regardless of your reasons against that.

Call me a hippy, but I believe in free love. I believe everyone should love who they love - if they’re family, so be it.

As it is, we’re close to immediate family incest being legal - it will eventually happen. I know, I know, but 3rd cousins are allowed to marry. Eventually it’ll be 2nd, then 1st, then immediate family members.

I may not really agree with the act itself (I don’t understand how you could be attracted to a family member, but whatever) but I’m not going to tell ANYONE they’re wrong because they are in a consensual relationship with a family member.

Love is love people. You can’t stop it and you can’t control it.

I have to disagree. The opposite seems to be true. It used to be acceptable, even common in some areas, for cousins to marry and have children. That practice has become dramatically less common due to the increased mobility and larger population size that has come in the last 2 centuries. First cousins used to be allowed to marry, but that hasn’t been the case for a long time now.
