Re: Mum had sex with son
 

I would think that it is quite likely that at least one of the partners is also going to be in another relationship though, Father/Mother Son/Girlfriend Daughter/Boyfriend, also that there is another parent and possibly other siblings around. Whilst no physical harm or physical abuse is occurring between these consenting partners, there are many others surrounding the relationship that are likely to be hurt by it. I imagine most incestuous multi-generational relationships are conducted in secret, a bit like having an affair.

Did I not just answer that question? :rolleyes:

I feel so much better knowing that you have my protection at heart.


There was consent, therefore it was not abuse.

I am aware that it is illegal, if I wasn`t then how could I argue about the waste of resources above?

Ah, such a reasoned argument you have there.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

As I've said, go back 100 years or so and it was very common in Britain.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

The same however can be said for homosexual, age-gap (speaking from experience) or multi-racial (speaking from experience) relationships. Many of those are conducted behind closed doors as they too are likely to hurt others surrounding the relationship.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Sadly yes they are, but they are legal and that does not make incest right IMHO.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

But they didn't used to be legal. The arguments many people have been making against incest are identical to ones used against the relationships I mentioned.
Increased possibility of genetic defects and the potential to "groom" a child as it grows up are the only real reasons I can give to back up the illegality of incest.

Anyone care to comment on those two reasons?

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Aaah, yes, many people said that if you think a black and white couple is OK, you need psychiatric help. If you think oral sex is fine, you need psychiatric help.

So what makes YOUR opinion so special?

Mind you, I think it is sick, but two things: I don't think it warrants psychiatric help, and, it is NONE OF MY BUSINESS.

Can you distinguish by people merely granting a right to people to do something and actually voicing an approval?


Example.

I don't smoke, and I think it is sick and filthy. BUT, I don't go around proclaiming it should be illegal to smoke.

I don't use weed, BUT, I don't go around yelling it should stay illegal. I don't condone using it, but it is someone's personal decision. NOT YOURS.


Bifta: Thank you so much for the red rep. I especially like the part where you said "but you need to lose again." Does it make you feel powerful? You know, of course, you're not supposed to rep for simple disagreements. :td:

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Actually you should re-read it, perhaps properly this time, and take a look at the post that I gave you the negative rep for. I'd say it was justified and nothing to do with a simple disagreement, unlike the one you gave me yesterday.

And here you go again, making wild comparisons, today it's smoking and incest! What have you got up your sleeve for us tomorrow? I can hardly wait!

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

We don't think it is OUR decision, the government isn't going to listen to us, WE ARE JUST TALKING ABOUT IT!

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

you cheeky git , you red repped me for disagreeing :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

OK I recommend this topic is closed, it's getting out of hand, and every one is getting p*ssed off at each other :(

EDIT: Come on you lot, your supposed to be older than me, I'm acting more mature here (no offence) PLEEEEASE sort it, I don't want to feel as if I'm mature WHEN YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE :rolleyes:

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

I'm surprised noone's mentioned Freud yet.

I wouldn't like the thread closed, but I think anyone who is continuing circular arguements should stop. Expecially the 'but it's disgusting' and 'knee-jerk reaction'.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Increased possibility of genetic defects and the potential to "groom" a child as it grows up are the only real reasons I can give to back up the illegality of incest.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Genetic defects, as pointed out in this thread can equally apply to those with haemophillia, CF and other geneticalyl transmitted conditions, they are allowed to procreate, so this is a procreate with caution scenareo as Eugenics is not something we want to be promoting. Come on Jerrek - Hitler did promote this...

Grooming is the real reason this is so wrong, parent child and even sibling relationships should have an element of trust in them that means when you are told right and wrong, that is the norm. It seems the scenareo here is easier to discuss as those involved are over 16/18 however to end up in this position, the sons definitions of normal and acceptable must have been severly screwed up by his parents (and the article does indicate a history of abuse).

As a parent you are in a position of trust, sleeping with your children in this manner is an abuse of this, as a sibling (i am thinking more of a older sibling relationship here) you are also often put in the same position for periods of time, the same level of trust should apply.

I'm suprised that formerly black, formely popular, singer have not appeared in this thread yet.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Well, suppose a white child is raised by a black family, and the dad teaches the boy that it is right to date inter-racially...

We should make this illegal immediately because it is disgusting.
