Actually, some psychologists say that pedophilia is the same like homosexuality, you are born with it, of course, the environment makes you notice earlier or later...

Couldn't really care less if the people were 18 and 50. Who am I to question weather or not their love for one another is genuine or not.

As for pedohilia. There is nothing wrong with pedohilia itself, but rather, you know, the whole rape thing which often times comes from it. That said, I think that if there is no harm involved, then there would be nothing inherently wrong with it. Obviously though, even if I say that, it's hard to say that I would actually accept such actions. Regardless of whether or not harm is involved, but by principle, harm should be the main concern.

Same goes with incest. Obviously reproducing with someone closely blood related can lead to all sorts of unwanted things for the baby. But if you were to make sure that the chance of pregnancy was null, then I don't see anything wrong with it. "Eww, that's icky" isn't exactly much of an argument, and it's the exact same attitude many would have had (and still do) towards my sexuality.

Saying "pedophilia" is wrong without any concrete reasons or saying that "incest" is wrong without any concrete reasons except "Everybody says so" is retarded.

Yeah, we can all agree with you Trap.

But then the whole "harm" thing comes in context... How can "pedophilia" not harm a child if he can't consent by law?

That's the problem here... And I think the case he shows is also not alright, if the child can't consent then how can he know he is in a relationship?

Do i really even need to explain this to you? Incest is wrong because if you have a kid with a relative you are drastically increasing the chances of causing very nasty birth defects, and no im not talking about things like having a birth mark or some moles, i mean shit like the worst possible cases of autism, bring born with horrible diseases that can kill them before the age of 18, It can cause severe disabilities in the child

No it doesnt happen every time as there are cases where incest babies end up for the majority fairly normal, but thats a rare thing to happen, and yes there is a lower chance of these things happening by reproducing with a cousin rather than a sister or brother, but thats like saying getting shot in the stomach has better survival ratings than getting shot in the neck, either way your still getting shot and are likely to die in either, just like its likley the kid in an incestrous relationship will genetically be fucked up

So in other words, i guess you can be ok with incest if you are a heartless bastard who is ok with their son/daughter being born into a life where they will never truly live normally and may possibly die at the age of 2 weeks

here you go, heres a example of what incest can do for genetics, warning this is depressing

First, the increase on chances and with how much is still being debated on, we do not know for certain on how much it increases, the chance is still there even without it being incest (and this is certain). Second, this is also an appeal to possibility, he might have problems or might not.

And that analogy is really weak, because the chances for the kid to be "genetically fucked up" are still there nonetheless, not only that, it does not fit our situation.

Within reason it doesn't matter, it depends more on whether both parties want a relationship and there is pressure from either side.

yes its still there normally, but the fact of the matter is incest babies not only happen significantly more but also have much worse cases. The only cases that end up being worse are ones from teenage or younger pregnancy,

But if you want to deny it then.....lets see your proof

The chances of having genetically "wrong" children in an incestuous relationship increases only with a few percentages.

http://www.lotscave.com/files/Journal%20of%20Genetic%20Counseling%20(Vol.%2011,%20No.%202,%20April%204,%202002).pdf

(Copy the whole thing...)

Percentages like 1% to 5% for first cousins, could not find anything about parent/son (or daughter) relationships.

Also, using this argument means that the people that have higher chances of having genetically wrong children even in a normal relationship should not be able to reproduce either.

Well, pedohilia is just the attraction itself.

Anyway, the problem people have with consent is that the child can be persuaded, so their permission wouldn't hold much ground. I guess my problem with that, is that any age can be persuaded given that they're not well educated enough. It's really a case-by-case situation, it's impossible to say "Well this person is X years, thus they are too unaware".

I mean, Spain's is 13, compared to my country's 16. Which really makes the entire situation odd.

I'm personally against little girls marrying/dating older guys its just disgusting wither its arranged by parents (like in some countries) or not its repulsive especially if they have sex. Now if these girls are 18+ and go after an older guy like lets say 50 something then hell let them since they will be legal adults able to make their own decisions.

For me I'd rather the guy I love at least be 3~4 younger or older than me.

you realize that even 1% increased risk is significant and 5% increased risk is just ridiculous from a medical biostatistical standpoint?

did you even read the article (its relevant parts at least) that u posted?

the EXCESS death rate/rate of occurrences of severe defects in the offspring resulting from incest was calculated to be 31.4% using one method of analysis, and 17.6% in a more "forgiving" analysis.

I'll play devil's advocate in defense of Immahnoob here, for shits and giggles...

The opponents of incest claim it is wrong on account of increased birth defects. I have 2 points against this:

1. Birth defects are a result of inbreeding, not incest in itself. Incestuous couples do not need to have their own children, they could adopt the same way homosexual couples do. Therefore the question of birth is irrelevant in itself.

2. Birth defects are not morally wrong, mental handicaps are not morally wrong; it is not the "fault" of the child nor the parents. If we were to legislate consistently based on this logic, where do we cross the line? Should we do genetic tests before birth for a variety of genetic abnormalities, like risks of cancer, obesity, aggression, heart disease, sickle cell, etc., and say to prospective parents who fail that they can't have children, or else it would be against the law? -- that the could be prosecuted because it is "genetically risky" for them to have children?

A lot of people would say that logic is absurd and morally wrong, or against human rights.

well i, for one, was just pointing out that imahnoob's interpretation of that article he posted was flawed. im not really interested in the whole discussion though lol.

to mention, ;your first point is 100% legitimate in the sense that birth defects can't really be used as an argument against incest, period (since, like you said, it doesnt have to result in birth i guess)

however your second point is not completely logically sound due to the fact that incest is an active and direct CAUSE of increased risk in the population pool. what i'm saying is that 2 individuals who are not especially genetically predisposed to certain things can produce a child who is at greater risk if the relationship is incestuous. basically (and extremely simplistically)

Incest: normal+normal -> higher risk

VS

high risk+high risk -> higher riskl

incest is basically bad for the gene pool while "normal" genetic dispersion is not

The human population is so large that there's no scientific evidence that high genetic risk would adversely influence the future of mankind besides that it would allow evolution to thin out those who continuously engage in risky behavior. Aside from this, the logic of "polluting the gene pool" is faulty for 3 more reasons:
1. It assigns a moral value to birth defects.
2. It is biased, by assigning responsibility to incestuous couples but not other people who may be equally risky in polluting the gene pool.
3. It is anti-free personal choice, by saying that certain people can't do something of their own will if it increases the risk of something without harming other people. By that rationale, homosexuality should be illegalized because anal sex is more susceptible to HIV.

Anal sex (note: not necessarily between men) is higher risk for HIV. The virus load in the anal passage is higher, and since it's tighter, there's more chance for minor abrasions.

I've always had the theory that under the right conditions, inbreeding humans could create super intelligent, super strong, disease resistant, healthy humans.

This comes from the fact that many police dogs, seeing eye dogs, and other particularly good dogs come from inbreeding. (Or line-breeding, which is inbreeding, with the exception of some semantics) These dogs weren't inbred under the supervision of geneticists though, just regular people selectively choosing dogs that seem to have the best traits, and are related. Of course these people fuck up a lot too. There's also many animals that are heavily inbred in the wild and it doesn't seem to be a big deal at all.

Truth is that having a first generation inbred kid isn't going to have any noticeably higher chance of deformities than any other kid. The harm comes from unselectively inbreeding for multiple generations, where the chance of a plethora of harmful recessive genes becoming dominant increases.

With the help of geneticists selectively inbreeding humans, I honestly think we could have some really goddamn healthy and robust people. Not like it's going to happen anyway though.

Eh, when it comes to affecting the lives of others, then I don't see why you can look it as a bad thing. Wanting a child is absolutely no excuse for potentially creating misery for another human being, and this goes for inherited disorders which the adults are aware of as well. As I already said before in the thread, if pregnancy was null, then I don't see anything wrong with incest.

I'd just like to interject here for a moment. But what you're actually referring to as "meth", is in fact called methamphetamine/Desoxyn, or as I have recently been calling it, methamphetamine or desoxyn. It's a legitimate medication approved by the FDA and used for my disease, which causes me to not focus on things I think are boring.

How do you feel about relationships with a big age difference

for example, if a 20 year old male is dating an 11 year old girl (but have not had sex)

and do you think it's more acceptable amongst anime fans than the general pop.


That's a felony! On the other hand a 65 year old man with a still active member and a still active midlife crisis which he has to feed 18yr old petite shaved girls that look like 11yr olds, perfectly normal.

It's only a felony if there is sex.

I've always had the theory that under the right conditions, inbreeding humans could create super intelligent, super strong, disease resistant, healthy humans.

This comes from the fact that many police dogs, seeing eye dogs, and other particularly good dogs come from inbreeding. (Or line-breeding, which is inbreeding, with the exception of some semantics) These dogs weren't inbred under the supervision of geneticists though, just regular people selectively choosing dogs that seem to have the best traits, and are related.
This is completely untrue. Professional dog breeders know what traits are dominant, just like professional plant breeders. What happens when you have a bunch of amateurs breeding dogs is genetic defects are bred into the progeny -- in fact, some dog species are, or will be, extinct due to excessive inbreeding.

Dogs like the German Shepherd commonly have hip problems, Dalmations are usually deaf because the deafness gene is linked to the spots, Dachshunds are prone to arthritis because they are bred for shorter legs, and many dogs bred for large size will eventually have bone cancer and heart problems. Geneticists call this inbreeding depression -- meaning the more you inbreed, the more deleterious genes will get passed on to the next generation.

An outcross, a cross between 2 distinct lines, will almost always have superior traits and faster growth, which is what they call hybrid vigor. No wonder mixed girls are so beautiful.

There are ways to inbreed populations while limiting harmful effects, but it's not something any idiot pet owner could accomplish. For one, it requires a rather large source population. Secondly, it requires multiple inbred lines to be bred simultaneously, and when depression occurs, each line is crossed to each other, acting as sort of an outcross, but to a family of similar traits.

Of course these people fuck up a lot too. There's also many animals that are heavily inbred in the wild and it doesn't seem to be a big deal at all.
Most wild populations are vastly larger than domestic populations.

Truth is that having a first generation inbred kid isn't going to have any noticeably higher chance of deformities than any other kid. The harm comes from unselectively inbreeding for multiple generations, where the chance of a plethora of harmful recessive genes becoming dominant increases.
First generation inbreeding yields 4-31% higher incidence of medical problems before age 16 -- read the article in Immahnoob's link.

With the help of geneticists selectively inbreeding humans, I honestly think we could have some really goddamn healthy and robust people. Not like it's going to happen anyway though.
Sure, it's possible, but besides the questionably "moral" implications, it would also take hundreds of years. A "generation" of plants could be a couple months to a couple years, a generation of dogs could be 2 years until it could give birth, a generation of humans is 18 years legally at the least. It takes many generations, some false runs, to produce a superior inbred line. That time constraint makes it much more "worth it" to just artificially engineer a superior DNA instead.

people in my family are generally ok with such things we aren't brainwashed by religion or feminism but i was looking for what other people think


In India they think 8 or younger is just fine for an arranged marriage. One has to ask why would an 11yr old want to have a romantic relationship in the first place. Puberty is the necessary minimum, but then everyone hits it at a slightly different age and they're usually not mature enough for a real relationship (hell, some people never mature enough, hence so many fail), a purely sexual relationship perhaps. Grass on the field means you can play ball, lol (that's from the Bible I believe).

The reason why so much of the manga and anime is pervy is because there are those that find it attractive, if it was normal, no big deal, then it wouldn't be enticing to them. And people in strict, repressive, disciplinarian societies such as Germans and Japanese are prone to fantasize about breaking taboos in more extreme ways.

If anything I'd prefer humans become smaller, they'd need less food, smaller vehicles, smaller living spaces, use less resources all around.
And they'd look more like they're 11 years old, right?
