The Westermarck effect, or reverse sexual imprinting, is a hypothetical psychological effect through which people who live in close domestic proximity during the first few years of their lives become desensitized to sexual attraction.

@ceruleanspark Considering how many times people who've grown together want to... do the thing with eachother, I'd say the hypotesis is not too solid.

@darkw00d What's better than this. Just puberty being puberty.

@darkw00d Nobody said anything about blood bonds. Just "raised together". Which can be as distant as "spent a big part of each day as kids in the same daycare, then went to school together and hanged out all the time"

@darkw00d I always fund it weird when people oppose the idea of non-blood related "siblings" dating, like a son and a daughter of two people who get married.

@darkw00d As for incest, my position is "let anyone do whatever as long as they don't try to have kids" since it doesn't harm anybody. If they desire eachother, then it's fine for me. Just don't risk having a kid with genetic diseases. Just adopt or whatever.

@darkw00d I've always been of the idea that, if you know someone else and the appeal is reciprocal, and you KNOW it can work, go for it. Don't gamble trying to find "better" because you have a good chance of ending with nothing.

@darkw00d Guess we can agree to disagree, knowing the positions of eachother are both reasonable. I guess my position comes from the life philosophy I've always had of "do what you want as long as it's in private" and "beat the world into submission"

@darkw00d Oh yeah, I don't force anyone into it either. It's an opinion, and it's always a "what I'd do in that situation" thing.
