Oh, I'm sure I'll be flamed by near everyone for this, but here it goes anyway:
Why should incest be illegal and what is so wrong with it? I suspect many of the arguments against it are the same as the arguments against drugs that most of us don't care for:
* It's wrong.
Well, you may think so, but other's don't. It seems wrong to be pushing your morals on others; especially when the other people are hurting no one. In this case, they are not even hurting themselves.
* It's not natural.
LSD and MDMA and many other drugs that users here like are not natural. They are made it a lab. Why the double standard? Even if you only like natural things (weed) and don't have a double standard, why only natural things? What's wrong with synthetics?
if I reply to you than it would mean totally getting away from the subject
but I really wanted to reply to your message (while hoping that the moderators will be kind enough not to delete my reply)
I have to say that I agree with you
while children-parents incest never really excited me that much (even though it made me kinda curious) yet brother-sister or otherwise brother-brother incest (yeah I'm bisexual) might be the most exciting fantasy for me
even though I don't really have a sister nor a brother and I'm my parents' only son
yet I have to say that I wouldn't ever want to really perform it if I really had a brother or a sister simply because of religious reasons (So I'm kinda happy that I don't have a sister so that I wouldn't get too seduced)
I know that among some ancient people incest was really popular (like the Egyptians)
I know a person which suggested that parents shall be allowed to have sex with their children for education reasons (educate them about sex and stuff)
and I agree with you that having children with a relative of yours might not be the best idea (because the child might turn out really screwed up) but if that is put aside together with the religious perspective than I would have to say that I Really don't see anything wrong with incest as long as the sex is done while both persons agree to do it and don't get otherwise raped/abused/molested/etc
EDIT - I also forgot to say that even though witchcraft and homosexual intercourse we're both illegal 50-100 years ago (sometimes even punishable with a death penalty) and we now look back on it and think "how stupid people we're back than"
currently most drugs are illegal just as incest is
and maybe say after a century or two people are going to look back and say "geez... how stupid we we're back than for outlawing things like drugs and incest"
