Consensual incest?

Good luck Loli-chan! Love is love! I always felt very high sympathy for such strong mutual taboo affection. There is such intense social pressure against it, and no pride parades to help you feel like you're not absolutely alone, that you're not a freak. And yet, love is not something to be brushed aside out of convenience, and it takes immense sacrifice and willpower to stay in a taboo relationship. I often find such relationships the most romantic of all. Hopefully things can change one day! Or at least meet at a halfway point-if genetics is such a big deal, then just allow it as long as proper birth control measures are taken. It's not so different from other things that can be passed down from parent to child, like susceptibility to various diseases and cancer or HIV. Such things should now stop mutual passions of the heart! By the way, it's been scientifically proven that mating between cousins or beyond literally has no significantly higher chance of genetic defects than random couples.

The whole "mutant children from incest" theme is just an urban legend that people propagate as a deterrent for incestuous relationships. It takes many generations of continuous incest for any problems to occur and is less likely to happen if the people involved are healthy already and without any serious health issues or problematic recessive genes. http://www.quickmeme.com/img/b1/b1b5ec729bf4293988510092dd388ac632410d1001f9b84d7363142260794909.jpg

There was a study of Czechoslovakian children whose fathers were first degree relatives. Fewer than half of the children who were the product of incestuous unions were completely healthy. Forty-two percent of them were born with severe birth defects or suffered early death and another 11 percent were mildly mentally impaired. This study is particularly instructive as it included a unique control group — the offspring of the same mothers but whose fathers were not the mothers’ relatives. When the same women were impregnated by a non-relative, only 7 percent of their children were born with a birth defect. another group of genetic counselors reviewed the research on the biological consequences of sex between relatives (consanguineous relationships). They found a surprisingly small increase (about 4 percent) in birth defects among the children of married cousins. Incest between first degree relatives, however, was a different story. The researchers examined four studies (including the Czech research) on the effects of first degree incest on the health of the offspring. Forty percent of the children were born with either autosomal recessive disorders, congenital physical malformations, or severe intellectual deficits. And another 14 percent of them had mild mental disabilities. In short, the odds that a newborn child who is the product of brother-sister or father-daughter incest will suffer an early death, a severe birth defect or some mental deficiently approaches 50 percent. Basically it's not about the number of generations as a lot of replies on here seem to suggest, but more so the coefficient of relationship between the parents. http://www.lotscave.com/files/Journal%20of%20Genetic%20Counseling%20(Vol.%2011,%20No.%202,%20April%204,%202002).pdf <- in case someone wants to read the whole article
