Inspired by this post on [email protected].
What are Burggit’s thoughts on the ethics (not the legality!) of real life incest? Some common conditions for starters:
- Between consenting people
- Between consenting adults
- Between consenting adults of a “reasonable” age difference
- Between consenting adults, no parent/child relationships permitted
Personally, I am torn between 2 and 4. Can there really be a consenting relationship between adult and child (both being adults)?
P.S.: Please let me know if this should be marked NSFW. I didn’t because this is the type of post I like to see when browsing SFW
In practice I feel this would be more of a “think twice” mostly unenforced type law, mostly to make people think a little harder about what they were doing and potentially assess the risks. Stuff like this would probably be hugely helped with things like easy access to free nationwide birth control.
There are a few laws kinda like this which aren’t technically enforced, but do make people think twice about doing it by being technically illegal. Also, to be clear, this hypothetical wouldn’t prevent the incest couple from being together or having sex, just heavily discourage reproduction and/or encouraging the use of birth control.
