Is it morally wrong to have sex with a family member?

Name : John-W29169, Gender : M, City : Baton Rouge, State : LA, Country : United States,It depends on your definition of sex and family members. Some states allow marriage between kin as close as first cousins, but most allow between family members only as close as second cousins. I don’t consider second cousins to really be family; to be honest, I wouldn’t recognize hardly any of my second cousins if they ran into me on the street. Intercourse with an immediate family member is morally, ethically and legally wrong – it’s incest. A pregnancy could lead to mild birth defects or worse. Other kinds of sex? Depends on the situation, I’d say. I experimented sexually with both my brother (a year older than me) and my male cousin (same age) numerous times as a young teen – oral sex, anal sex, kissing, masturbation, you name it. Nothing but innocent pubescent curiosity and raging hormones and I see nothing morally wrong with that whatsoever. It was mutual, not forced (and a lot of fun, come to think of it!).

As a Christian, my immutable answer is ‘yes!’ but that doesn’t mean my neighbor doesn’t feel differently. Heterosexual incest can have its consequences, though, regardless of your view of the matter. My advice is to avoid it.

Should such behavior be illegal and considered wrong? Ideally, I am of the opinion that most behaviors should be allowed between consenting adults, including incestuous relationships (I believe incestuous reproduction only very slightly raises the probability of birth defects for the first generation — but in any case, you can have a sexual relationship without reproduction). However, within a family there are complicated obligations and power differentials that make it tricky to assure that such a relationship is completely consensual, even between adults. (Obviously even more so when at least one participant is not an adult.) So I think the issue must be approached cautiously, though I am not morally against it in all cases.

It’s, at least, a little bit weird. In the end, it depends on you. I wouldn’t do it.

Examples: A woman in her early forties, her father in his early sixties, she has had her tubes tied 20 years and two marriages ago. They engage in an occasional weekend frolic. Her divorced, him a widower. Anybody see a problem? I don’t. They are consenting adults and have a very loving relationship. Example 2: Brother and sister 20 and 18, she is on the pill, he wears condoms, and they use a spemicidal lubricant, or stick to oral and anal sex. Again no chance of procreation, and a loving relationship between two people. No problems.

Make sure that you are both ready (if your partner is a minor for instance, not allowed), because you don’t want emotional damage 3. Don’t make it permanent, but a few times is alright 4. Keep it a secret (don’t want to offend your community). If you follow those rules, you’re in the clear, and anyone who tells you otherwise is just being ignorant.
