      While the medical concerns with incest don’t apply here, the stigma of having sexual relations with a relative usually doesn’t take such technicalities into account.

          I’m not sure what biological stigma is supposed to mean. Sexual relations between siblings gives most people the ick regardless of technicalities, and that is a social stigma, the only kind of stigma I’m aware of.

            I think that’s all shit we are taught. In highschool there was a brother and sister in the grade above me that were notoriously very clingy with each other and their parents didn’t let them take sex ed because that class needed parental sign off and the bible was the only teacher they needed or some stupid shit. Anyway they were seen fucking in the storage room when extra chairs were needed for an event. People just passed it off as twins stuff before, then after it was twins stuff

            “Biological stigma” would refer to the effects of having an incestuous child.

            “Social stigma” would refer to the sexual relationship between people in a close familial relationship, which is clearly not the case since they had no prior relationship.

            Since these men wouldn’t fall under either category, what other stigma is there?

              I don’t think we’re using the same definition of stigma.

              Stigma is a profound, unfair negative belief or stereotype attached to a person or group, causing shame, social rejection, and discrimination.

              I’m having a hard time making any of the stuff you’re saying make sense with that definition, and the whole word is inherently social.

              The fact is that a lot of people think it’s nasty to fuck your brother, and that you should stop fucking him when you realize you’re related to him. I see the nuance in this situation, but a lot of people don’t, and if they maintain the relationship they will have to deal with those people. It’s already hard enough to deal with homophobia without this on top.

                I don’t understand how you can read that definition and not comprehend my comment. Perhaps you could explain in your own words what the stigma here should be.

      The issue is the fact they are brothers is on the front page of the newspaper. Hope that helps

        Do you mean that the issue is the fact that they’re brothers or that it’s been printed in a newspaper with their faces on? Because if they’re two consenting adults, they cannot reproduce with one another, and they didn’t grow up as siblings, then I too am struggling to see what the issue is, considering that the usual incest-related issues (inbreeding and consent/coercion issues born of familial bonds/hierarchies) are addressed. Seems the only remaining issue is that it’s been publicized, meaning they’re liable to get shit on by the people for the rest of their lives for something they weren’t aware of, had no control over, and hurts no one.

    On the plus side, you cannot get someone pregnant from buttseks. No matter how hard I tried.

      Random question for the bi fellas here:

      Does gay porn online also have a high percentage of “step” family incestuous stuff? Or is that an exclusively straights problem.
