| Incest /ˈɪnsɛst/ is human sexual activity between family members or close relatives. This typically includes sexual activity between people in consanguinity (blood relations), and sometimes those related by affinity (marriage or stepfamily), adoption, clan, or lineage. The incest taboo is one of the most widespread of all cultural taboos, both in present and in past societies. Most modern societies have laws regarding incest or social restrictions on closely consanguineous marriages. In societies where it is illegal, consensual adult incest is seen by some as a victim-less crime. Some cultures extend the incest taboo to relatives with no consanguinity such as milk-siblings, step-siblings, and adoptive siblings, albeit sometimes with less intensity. Third-degree relatives (such as half-aunt, half-nephew, first cousin) on average have 12.5% common genetic heritage, and sexual relations between them are viewed differently in various cultures, from being discouraged to being socially acceptable. Children of incestuous relationships have been regarded as illegitimate, and are still so regarded in some societies today. In most cases, the parents did not have the option to marry to remove that status, as incestuous marriages were, and are, normally also prohibited. A common justification for prohibiting incest is avoiding inbreeding: a collection of genetic disorders suffered by the children of parents with a close genetic relationship. Such children are at greater risk for congenital disorders, death, and developmental and physical disability, and that risk is proportional to their parents' coefficient of relationship—a measure of how closely the parents are related genetically. But cultural anthropologists have noted that inbreeding avoidance cannot form the sole basis for the incest taboo because the boundaries of the incest prohibition vary widely between cultures, and not necessarily in ways that maximize the avoidance of inbreeding. In some societies, such as those of Ancient Egypt, brother–sister, father–daughter, mother–son, cousin–cousin, aunt–nephew, uncle–niece, and other combinations of relations within a royal family were married as a means of perpetuating the royal lineage. Some societies, such as the Balinese and some Inuit tribes, have different views about what constitutes illegal or immoral incest. However, sexual relations with a first-degree relative (meaning a parent or sibling) are almost universally forbidden. How does incest in anime affect you? Do you feel disgusted? Why? |

| Your threads are really starting to look like full on articles lol.Anyways i don´t take it really seriously,just one of many the many weird fetishes that exist out there.I find it more interesting when anime like Koi Kaze choose to explore this topic in a more serious manner rather than play it off as cheap humour. |

| I don’t really care tbh. At the end of the day they’re animated drawings so who cares. |
 |
| All forms of blood relation incest are disgusting, whether it's in anime or irl. It's just...immoral. Billions of people on earth and you choose your family member. Ugh. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
Im just tired of it almost never being real full on incest  Japan always trying to make the taboo less controversial by making one of the members adopted, half sister, sister by law or a cousin Is just annoying. Its art dammit. Let it be controversial or fetish focused |

ysphyr said: I'm ok with consensual sibling incest both in media and irl. I must admit I find older brother/younger sister incest to be extremely hot and if they are twins - that's the best outcome possible! I also do not consider step-siblings and cousins having sexual relationship to be an incest. Not like they are related or anything. Parent/child incest is extremely gross and rapey though. I'd never accept that.

Sagiri and Izumi aren't siblings though, so even if they banged - that's not an incest. I know,it´s just that this video always comes up in my mind every time this topic is brought up. |

| I wish they'd stop pussying out with the not related by blood bullshit. Man, I miss OreImo. |

| Just like in porn, it's a cheap and lazy way of having some character dynamics, no need for any deep development as incestuous relationships inherently have this sense of taboo forbidden love. How exciting... not. Not to mention it mythologizes something pretty damn weird. |

Every time someone recommends me anime containing sibling romance - suprise-suprise - they turn out to not be siblings at all and just some random strangers living together. Meh, pathetic. Even Mahouka went with this whole DNA changing route - wtf, guys? Let them be blood related once in a while |
| an old taboo that in my opinion will die in future like homophobia and racism |
| A person's life is not comprised of four repeating season, but a year-long winter wilderness, whether or not you stop to wipe your blood or tears, they will inevitably freeze over. |

The problem I have with Koi Kaze is that the brother is way older than sister. I'm a bit uncomfortable that she's the minor - as an adult he should have waited till she matured a bit. |

| I really don't care, nor in anime or real life, let people do what they want with their lifes. The only real problem is that they mustn't have children, that's all. |

| I hate it because I'm worried I'd start liking incest because of it |
 |
| OP doesn't even puts effort into the post.It's straight up copy and paste from wiki.We didn't need that long explanation. I don't have problem with incest when it comes to hentai.No-one cares for the character dynamics and I'm in for the plot. But,I find it little bit gross in anime where the dynamic is well executed and detailed.The anime I have seen so far containing incest aren't usually blood related and are either step or cousins. |

Don't think they're correlated at all, unless you do some self-insert viewing. thats not a matter of thinking, thats a hard fact. kinks dont make you want to bang your sister for real |
trenchantbaka said: Viltas said: thats not a matter of thinking, thats a hard fact. kinks dont make you want to bang your sister for real I mean we haven't conducted thorough experiments on all different kinds of mentality to deduce the fact, so I wouldn't have the audacity to declare it a hard fact. But I would call it a hard fact that enjoying a kink on others does not always lead to developing the kink for yourself. I do have the audacity, but I can succumb to the fact that it might tempt someone or loosen their morals. Still, there's a long way until you actually do it, mentally speaking. |

ysphyr said: just watch the first Aki-Sora OVA then, it's pure 100% blood related one on one incest. There are two other girls involved in Yume no Naka (one of which is his blood related twin). I still think it's worth watching but stay away from the manga.Roevhaal said: Yes please, more incest.

| Not into it, it’s super gross to me. Just keep it fictional everyone, real incest can totally fuck up your kids. |
 |
| The amount of people wanting REAL incest in their Anime in this thread is disturbing. |
| in anime or any fiction im fine... or rather i found cute when its older brother-younger sister lol, though its a big nope if they are parents-children incest |
 |
| My problem actually comes from anime's insistence on having the people be non-blood related. Like just go all the way and stop making it seem so forced. It's the same problem that I have with incest porn. |
| Hunter x Hunter is a 1/10 |
| Bad. Just bad. I find the idea gross, but I guess as long as people keep it fictional it's kinda fine. Kinda. |
| I don't really care. In some really good anime it's even the core concept and handled beautifully (Koi Kaze). Like one user above said, if the story is good, anything goes. |
  |
| Incest is disgusting how can these people even fall in love with their imouto/otouto!? I'd rather watch siblings fight to death. |

nanimeanswhat said: preach bruh theres so many other people out thereAll forms of blood relation incest are disgusting, whether it's in anime or irl. It's just...immoral. Billions of people on earth and you choose your family member. Ugh. |
| professional women respecter |
| incest is wincest. Anyone who is upset with that fact needs a reality check. I mean its fucking fiction so why not push the boundaries a little ;) |
 |
| Anything within family eww nope. Not big fan of adoptive incest. It was rly hard for me to watch tv series Flash without cringing at every incest scene. Eww. I'm alright with cousins though I don't count that as incest and I don't think anime / Japan's society counts either. In real life it would be bit weird, but nothing too out there. Like definitely liked Elfen Lied's Kouta with his cousin more than Lucy. But actual incest. Take it away from me. I don't mind if it's just obsession towards brother or sister as long as it doesn't go over the line and just stays as joke, but anything after that is insta drop. |
| Incest between siblings in anime is a win. Adoptive incest doesn't count. Incest between child/parent is pretty damn gross. I agree that it's just fiction, and how I feel about fiction is NOT how I feel about real life. I could never feel anything like that toward my sister; even the idea makes my skin crawl. |
