Once the authorities discovered your relationship, the legal system has the right to imprison you wherever incest is illegal. In comparison, countries like Japan, India, Pakistan and the Middle East have in their historical records up to 30% of marriages considered as consanguineous. This means marriage is not allowed between uncle-niece, aunt-nephew, brother-sister, parent-child, grandparent-grandchild, and first cousins. If, at one point, these pairs of siblings or parent and child decided to get married, it's of course impossible in most countries, including the united States, where there are laws prohibiting marriage between individuals of first-degree consanguinity (blood relationship). Naturally, those who were aware they're related experienced conflicting emotions afterwards. In most cases, both parties eventually succumbed to overpowering lust and consummated this desire. The impulse to get to know the other person more deeply until an intimate bond is formed seems too strong and often misinterpreted as sexual desire. If these people had grown up together starting from childhood before adolescence, then the anti-incest mechanism kicks in and repels any attraction between siblings or blood relatives with feelings of disgust.īehavioral scientists think this unusual attraction is an egocentric pull between two individuals with the same genetic code. Later, when these long-lost relatives met each other as adults, they felt an intense sexual attraction towards each other. However, there are also cases of accidental incest between siblings who were separated at birth or between a parent and a child who was put up for adoption immediately after birth. When they mate, they're expected to produce another perfect being with extraordinary abilities.
It's assumed they were born as perfect beings. First of all, they're gods and goddesses. Other descendants suffered mental health problems, including schizophrenia (see The Madness of King George).Īlthough mythology teaches us that Egyptian deities Osiris and Isis were brother and sister before they became husband and wife, these stories aren't really applicable in real life. Inbreeding amongst the royal families in Europe have led to widespread cases of hemophilia in the Royal Princes. It's not just low IQ or missing limbs we're talking about here. Seriously, people who are genetically related aren't supposed to have sex again and again because they're at high risk of producing an offspring with multiple mutations.
Eh? Once is an honest mistake, twice is stupidity, but to repeatedly do it is inviting misery.
