Is Sexual Intercourse Between Siblings Morally Permissible?

Magic Man

Reaper of Conversation
Studies have shown that people who engage in sibling incest are in varying degrees damaged, whether this damage it is a result of incest or whether they engage in incest because they are damaged is the only question that can be realisticly argued.

I was trying to say this exactly, but couldn't word it well enough, so I tried to convey it in a shorter sentence, but this is exactly what I was getting at.

Offspring resulting from inbreeding are more likely to suffer from physical and health defects, so it could be argued that it is immoral, if offspring could result from the coupling.

Is it morally permissible for a brother and sister (adults) to use birth control and willingly participate in a sexual act? Y/N? Why?

I can think of no argument that makes it immoral, since no harm is caused to anyone.

As disturbing as it may seem, as long as they're consenting adults I see no reason to interfere.

I think breeding in general is immoral as it contributes to the overpopulating of the earth and the depletion of its resources.

I don't think incest is necessarily immoral, after all, it's not unusual for cousins to marry each other where I'm from. My dad and mom are cousins, far removed. LOL. As for gay incest, sorry MSizer, I have to bring it up, since it's relavent to gay people. That's even less immoral if you could argue incest is immoral because it causes defects in the offspring. Same sex couples can't have offspring together

As far as homosexual siblings having sex, it is moral, and should be encouraged, especially in the case of hot, female twins.

Yeah, but one could use that same line of justification to say older women shouldn't have children due to the increased likelihood of birth defects.

I cant imagine that a brother and sister would reach the age of consent around the same time and decide they wanted to have sex .But on the probably close to zero % chance that happened..I would not call that immoral.

I would call it extremely unusual.

If it's two brothers- no. If it's a brother and a sister- no, if they use contreceptives. If it's a brother and a sister trying to make a baby together- possibly. I won't say yes for certain, I don't know.

Morality is such a loose term. Anyone can call anything either moral or immoral. While I will never understand why someone would find a sibling sexually attractive, that's their business, and it's not up to anyone to tell them that they're right or wrong.

So are all of you saying you never had consensual sex with a sibling? Pfffft! :p

No I havent...and I dont think there is anything wrong with the fact he hasnt (my one brother ) asked me let alone I wouldnt even if we were the last people on earth.

This is going to sound so "typical" of southerners like me..but I had one first cousin as an adult that fixated on me ..thought I was the "perfect woman"..and hit on me..

We used to play "doctor together" growing up...I mean I knew him my entire life..Him hitting on me as young adults...was repulsive to me..I thought of him as a "non sexual " interest...

Im not "dogging " him for wanting me that way because who wouldnt..:D But with all the women in the world..I mean come on..

And along the thoughts of Monta..His father routinely molested his sister..My cousin...and hitted on my mother and my younger sister..

I think but I dont know..he confused feelings of closeness and love with lets go ahead and have sex..because thats how his father was..Not because I was "so special" that he was overcome with "Im the one" for him..

I understand how that can happen..But I dont think its coming from a "healthy " place..

Love

I'll admit EO, I did, with my brother who's also gay. When we were both young adults

Perfectly fine, so long as they accept that any genetic illnesses that derive from inbreeding are solely their economic burden and will not be supported by the state.
