Incest

Gosh, dude! You sister’s got nice wrought tits. She’s real smokin’ hot man. The aroma she proliferates, the way she walks, and when she bends to pick up a pencil showing her chest cleavge, everything makes me hard man. Don’t you peep into her room, sometimes, to take a little glint at her lovely boson, may be her lovely callipygian bottom. Com’on dude, pinch your eye shot and take a closer look. I bet I would risk it if I were you. Reply: You’re a psycho. Do u know that? She’s my sister dude. I have grown up with her and have seen her and her ‘body’ grow since ever; since I knew and realized that I am conscious being. How can I have hots for her man? Gross. Disgusting. You’re a fucking freak. This is the last time I am warning you. Watch your mouth from now onwards or you and your ideas will be only a part of some historical psychometrics study book, pursued as a part of the study curriculum in sub-urban Mexico.

Conversations like this may be heard/eavesdropped or talked about every once in a while but you rarely get to see someone admit jacking off fantasizing his own sister. I bet girls also rarely have hots for their brothers. Taking this to the next level, boys may find their aunts in their neighborhood hot but they hardly see their moms that way. Girls may behave flirtatiously with their uncles but rarely speak of their father’s dick. So, why is incest wrong? Why is marrying or producing offspring in the same family considered wrong? If all the rules in our society and religions were made for the greater good of the human race, what is the logic behind such a rule?

Now before making any attempt at answering these questions, I will have to state the concept of incest in different religious and ethnic groups, which, very obviously like any other idea, is variegated in sharp contract with respect to one another. In some societies, like Ancient Egypt, brother–sister, father–daughter and mother–son relations were practiced, but the practice was limited to the royal family. Marrying to first cousins is legally allowed in various states in the US, under certain circumstances like, consent of the uncle-aunts of the couple, after a certain age (above 50) and if they are double first cousins. In Australia, marriage between people belonging to same direct lineage is not allowed; however, for any branched lineage an exception can be made under certain circumstances. Lots of countries in the Europe, the land of Caligula and Da Vinci, only restrict marriages between siblings and offspring-parent. The Quran mentions incest which prohibits a man from having sexual relationships with his mother, daughter, sister, paternal aunt, maternal aunt or niece. However, Islam allows for marriage with cousins and other more distant relatives. Hinduism goes a little too far in this case and doesn’t allow marriages between people belonging to the same Gotra or having the same surname(and of the same caste). Many catholics have impregnated and enjoyed sexual relations with their siblings, but the religious, with all its hallowed hypocrisy, discourages incestuous relationships. So, in a nutshell, virtually every society has laws to prevent incestuous relationships.

Now, if the above questions are asked to man of Science, he would say that – Incestuous inbreeding leads to an increase in homozygosity (the same allele at the same locus on both members of a chromosome pair), occurring because close relatives are much more likely to share the same alleles than unrelated individuals. He would further explain that recessive alleles that happen to be deleterious, which are harmless and inactive in a heterozygous pairing but, when homozygous, can cause serious developmental defects. The final verdict would be that such offspring have a much higher chance of death before reaching the age of reproduction or having deleterious recessive attributes fucking up his life and his younger one’s. But one could argue that if both incestuous and normal relationships are practiced, the problem would cease to exist. The dominant allele would subdue the recessive one, in the large gene pool, and eventually, the problem of having deleterious attributes caused from the recessive ones, would no longer exist. As an example, Trobriand Islanders allow relations between a woman and her father and they survive as happily as all the hippies in NY and drug-users in Detroit. Even the ancient Egypt, Kings enjoyed having sex with their kins(along with dead mummies following voodoo practices of Necromancy) to have a close chemistry along with strong emotional bonding with their partners.

A man of Psychology, the study of freaks and psychos, would say-It’s because of the Westermarck effect, that children who are raised together during the first five to ten years of life have inhibited sexual desire toward one another. But then, all of these psychological pressures are imbibed in us through the society. Having grown together, we are bound to share a closer chemistry as compared to unrelated people and, hence, have a more happy and fructuous relationship, if pursued. Having a conscious cognition about one’s likes, dislikes, habits and instincts, one can cultivate stronger relationships with their close kiths and kins.

A man of Religion would say that incestuous relationships are prohibited, in the most stringent sense, in all religious text. Traditionalists and people of blind-faith would say that Man, a social being, has to have a belonging somewhere and for that he has to follow the societal norms. But, my question is -How is this norm logical and how did it come to existence in the first place. When the human race was discreetly growing the various parts, in the ancient era, these relationships were practiced to make the human-count profuse enough to survive any catastrophe. So, now when our count has crossed the 6 billion mark, why should we bring this practice to a halt and consider it unrighteous. If Adam and Eve had sex following all permutations and combinations with their offspring, why can’t Pathakji’s family practice the same.

Prohibition of Incest surfaces other questions like – Why do states prohibit homosexuality? Why is suicide prohibited by the law? Why don’t we respect and legalize a call-girl, who is offering herself willingly to someone for some easy bucks? Why do were keep porn-stars and corporate bitches at vastly different levels of respect? The single relationship between all of these questions is that – Why do we constrict one’s freedom to do what he/she wants unless it directly harms the human race? A guy sick of living in a pathetic world of losers feels like dying, then why does the police arrest him for an unsuccessful and lame attempt at slashing his wrists ! Why does Shramuji never tell his wife that Chameli’s blow job was the best 3 minutes of his life! Why Pamela Anderson and Jenna Jameson can’t be considered for Time Magazine’s-People of the year for having inspired the youth and helped them become men, much before than mother-nature would have made them into! Why do the people in the bar stare at a dyke’s aphrodisiacal kiss to her femme, very disrespectfully yet with an erect dick, like a bunch of teenagers seeing their first 7x porn! Why do Gay men face the stigma of being considered effeminate or lesser man! Democratic nations everywhere talk about freedom. I don’t care to mention about other forms of government simply because they hardly have any freaking idea about what they’re doing. If talking about crap is allowed, publishing filth is allowed and showing shit is allowed, why the hell is Homosexuality, porn, suicide and incest prohibited.
