Dunno. But then, I don't have siblings. Perhaps the feeling of disgust about incest is something biological that is only triggered in people who have siblings?

If you use contraception, where's the problem?
It's a taboo in todays society. It's similar with pedophiles, one used to marry at 15ish and the genes still recognize that as suitable age. Or something like that.
The problem with incest is it probably occurs not between similar aged related individuals, but between an adult and a child. The problems caused are probably psychological and thus not something so easily solved. That is the same reason against pedophilia. So while in the best scenario of incest (say two siblings who are blood related, adults, and similar in age) there are grounds to question what is so taboo about it, pedophilia and probably typical cases of incest most likely have no such grounds to question whether or not they should be taboo.

Biologically speaking any age at which you can reproduce is a "suitable age," even if they're not ready psychologically to have a child. You have a point, but I think you've attributed it to the wrong paraphilia. Ephebophilia is an attraction to adolescents around age 15-19, while pedophilia is the attraction toward prepubescent children. The primary difference is that ephebophilia could have been a genetic advantage in early man, since younger women would typically have a better chance at giving birth than older women. Pedophilia on the other hand could never have been a genetic advantage because you'd be attracted to children who are typically too young to be fertile, and thus would actually hinder you from having any offspring.

Is it? Clearly some peoples' aren't. Incest being taboo is a cultural trait, and instilled in one's upbringing. You're only correct if "wired" is defined as "taught."
i wasn't taught, and i hope this doesn't turns into a scroll debate upload. there is no solid fact for this, so i will take your view as your personal opinion.
one sibling being attracted to another does not mean the other is all for it. and a large part of time one can feel disgusted and violated.
its also culture to tell your sons and daughters to marry.
AFAIK, there is a natural attraction for people with a genetic background close to yours, counteracted by a natural lack of interest that develops towards the people you spend certain years together (say 7-10, I don't remember). As a result: if you live with your siblings, you usually won't be attracted to them; if you are kept apart during the crucial years, you're more likely to develop an attraction later; if you live together with people you're unrelated with during the crucial years, you're less likely to develop an attraction later.
Regardless, you are all sick fucks and will burn in hell forever.
I've heard that in some cases of same age incest that the experience was actually rather beneficial to both involved and was an all around good memory for them (of course, I think they meant through experimentation and not cases that result in pregnancy).
Still, I'm also the type to consider it rather taboo.
The main reason why two people who are closely related having children is bad is because of genetic defects that are likely to result. This happens because if two siblings are both carrying the recessive gene for some bad thing, then their kids have a 25% chance of actually displaying that bad gene and another 25% will still carry it. Just take a look at the royal families of England and such: After years of intra-marriage, the entire family had hemophilia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemophelia)
@Buzz-Killington: You obviously haven't read the Bible, now have you? If you had, you would know that, although Adam and Eve's children did in fact marry each other, THEY WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE ON THE PLANET! So they didn't exactly have much of a choice, now did they? Also, back in those days, seeing as how when God created the world it was perfect, and sin had only recently started to make a mess of things, the human genome hadn't had time to degrade much yet and thus there were almost no defective gene's to be passed on. It was only much later in the Bible that incest was first declared a "no-no" because by then, the human genome had decayed enough for it to become an issue.
Remember those "If you, PERSON-ONE and PERSON-TWO were the last people left on earth, who would you repopulate the earth with?" questions often asked in junior and possibly senior high? I mean, the same sort of thing would apply there: the second generation would have to intermarry simply from lack of options.
I agree with most of the other people here: as long as it is between two consenting individuals of similar age, and proper protection is used so nobody gets pregnant, it sounds like fun *wink*. Now if only I had an older/slightly-younger sister....
Your sister is hot and is dating her Nth boyfriend now. She probably already had more sex than you'll ever have in your life by now. You're a loser who's stuffed in your room all day, watching cartoons and collecting pictures of girls from japanese cartoons. She also probably suspects you're some sort of freak after seeing that loli folder on your computer.
How do you bear this humiliation? How do you deal with that condescending look in her eyes?
New Oxford American Dictionary said: rape 1 |reɪp| noun the crime, committed by a man, of forcing another person to have sexual intercourse with him [...] verb [ trans. ] (of a man) force (another person) to have sexual intercourse with him [...]
rapist |ˈreɪp1st| noun a man who commits rape.
They seem to have thought it very important to stress the point that only men can rape.
unicogirl said: your brain is wired to sexually reject your siblings. same goes for not being sexually attracted to your parents.
I remember reading somewhere that sexual attraction has a weaker tendency to occur between people who have known each other since early childhood, typically between birth and the age of 6. The study was done on Kibbutzim (Israeli communes), as children in Kibbutzim live together in children's homes rather than with their own parents. The study found that marriage between two people from the same "peer group" -- who have been living together since birth -- is less likely to occur than marrying someone from outside the community.
Using this, it's possible to theorize that, if two siblings meet after spending their childhoods away from one another, the possibility of sexual attraction occurring between them would be higher than normal.
im pretty sure that most of the people here with pro-incest views do not have a sibling. i gag at the thought of that shit with my sister. damn thats fucking groty.
Incest is chosen against by natural selection. Children born of incest are much more likely to have birth defects, etc. Also, there is much less variety in the gene pool as a whole where it's all incest, so the society is much more vulnerable to diseases; they also evolve at a much slower pace, so they can be "overtaken" by other organisms. Basically a species relying on incest is more likely to go extinct one way or another, so it's biologically chosen against. That's not to say some people still won't have sexual attraction to their siblings, but actually bearing a child with them is something most have a disdain for, even if not brought up that way.
Although, I wouldn't imagine an product of biological incest here or there being drastic for the gene pool, but yeah, IRL examples include royal families incesting for generations until they were so genetically weak.

This.
No, real life sister isn't anything like you see in Anime, manga, or hentai. Doesn't even come close.
I can personally confirm (as much as a single person's testimony can confirm something) the idea that being seperated from your siblings would counteract a sexual disgust...I have a sister who I didn't see between the ages of 1-14, and by the time she reapeared in my life, I couldn't help but realise I was INCREDIBLY attracted. In fact, I think that taking the mental patterns of being raised with them out made such a taboo thing even more attractive...just like any other "oh this is so wrong" concept. I find it amusing to think that she is about twice my age, about 30 years old, which usually turns me completely off, and yet I get horny every time I see her in her pajamas ^.^
I figured you vaugely interested guys would want an example from the other end of the stick
memegui said: According to Freud, your brain is wired to be sexually attracted to your parents. But that's just Freud.
this is actually horribly wrong, according to Freud people have a natural attraction to the parent of the opposite gender of them NOT SEXUAL just a harmless attraction. this is the reason we have mommas boys and daddies girls, because of this...does not mean they wanna fuck.
fivepercentsure said: if this were the case than Creationism would be horribly false since the Adam and eve thing gets shot down... and even than genetics don't work in cancellation
I'm pretty sure that is one of the arguments against Creationism as presented in the Bible, actually - that Adam and Eve wouldn't be able to provide enough genetic material to create a stable race.
Hmm...it could in fact be rape. From the idea of it, the sister wanted and the brother is being forced to comply. Either he's too embarrassed and ashamed of himself because he couldn't control himself or she's blackmailing him in some way.
The Westermarck effect is what others have been referring to. You are unlikely to be attracted to people who you spent the first 6 years of your life with. That said, you're also attracted to people who are genetically similar to you so family members who were not raised together are more likely to find each other attractive.
The reason anime/manga fans have the "incest is wincest" attitude is because all the imouto's aren't actually your imouto. It's just a cute girl to the viewer. Most people with opposite sex siblings can tell you that the fascination with incest is unwarranted.

He might also be physically or mentally handicapped. It's a pretty dark scenario if you think about it. :/

Definitely not the case with me. Couldn't dream of dreaming of my own family, but I dream of being someone else who has a different mother or sister, and that's hot.
Say, big bro......
Nn......mff......
How's it feel to be violated by your little sister......?No fair hiding your face!
For a while now......ahnn......
Your dick has kept twitching inside me, you knowCould it be......
You want to ejaculate, do you?
You're going to come inside your little sister?If you come this deep inside,
Ah......ahh......
I could get pregnant, you know......?
