Because it's fucking gross.
But on a more detailed level, it's wrong PSYCHOLOGICALLY and it's wrong GENETICALLY.
PSYCHOLOGICALLY, there are different types of love.
There is familial love.There is amorous love. There is camaraderous love. There is nurturing love. Only amorous love is the one that involves sex. There are various shades and types of love that don't lead to or include sex.
There are different types of love. There is nothing sexual about my love for my family members. There's is a nurturing love. There's is a protective love. It's different. It depends on your dynamic with people.
And I'm sorry, but there is NOTHING that turns me on about my mother or any of the women in my family. Maybe some distant cousins, but I just can't imagine having sex with my mom, or sisters, or first cousins..or even second cousins. It just doesn't ring true to me. And I'm not a person who buys into taboos or bullshit. I'm very free with my thought. I'm a very independent thinker. And even then, it just doesn't do anything for me. We have a different type of love. A love that could never lead to sex. We express our love a particular way. There is no need for sex. And it would turn me off to want to have sex with them. The moment I try to envision my dick anywhere near my mom's cooch, I shudder and shake. The moment I try to envision doing anything sexual with my sister....man....I'm ready to kick a dude's ass over even LOOKING at my sister. Why would I want to touch her. It...ugh....no...it's not cultural...it's just a NATURAL turn off. lol.
Not to mention from a GENETIC point of view, sex between family members related closely leads to all sorts of genetic birth defects and a host of other bullshit. So even on a GENETIC level...incest is forbidden. It's not just a cultural taboo. Even scientifically, incest leads to fucked up situations and babies with three eyes who can float and eat people....ok exaggeration but...you get the point lol.
And as other people mentioned earlier, it fucks up the family unit. We NEED those different types of love. We need to experience the whole diaspora of love. Not just screwing. But other types of love. More than just sex. We need those loves that don't include sex. We need a mother, a father. And we DONT need to be having sex with them. A parent's love with their children, or brother's love for his brothers or sisters, and sister's love for her sisters or brothers is much deeper than sex. Sex is not even necessary.
Not only that, but when it comes to family...you know them so well. It would be a complete turn off. You know not just the positives about them...BUT YOU KNOW THE NEGATIVES too. You know all the good and the bad. What could the turn on be in that.
I'm sorry, but based on the way we structure families, the world, and the human condition, incest is not only fucked up psychologically, but it's also fucked up genetically. And it just doesn't work. |
