I have some... interesting sexual thoughts to say the least. Why do I think these things? Was it trauma? No, as far as I know I've lead a trauma-free life. No creepy uncles, no unwanted touches, just your basic childhood I guess. Yet, for many years now, I've had fantasies of illegal things, things that would turn people away from me if they ever knew. I have a lot of fantasies about sex with my family.
I know, it's gross. It grosses me out. There's no logical reason why I would think these things. The wannabe psychologist in me understands that these thoughts often stem from some form of trauma - a broken brain desperate from healing. But what causes these thoughts when there is no trauma? Was Freud right, do we all secretly want to fuck our parents? Has society turned us against our most primal thoughts?
It's interesting how incest is so looked down upon in society, yet so many of us fantasize it. If you look at any porn site, the top videos nearly always involve some form of incest. Why is that? How can it be so shamed yet so desired? We live in a world where people justify the actions of rapists, but not the actions of consensual adults.
I want to refer to that word again, consensual. This is the most meaningful word when it comes to incest. When people hear the word incest, they think of rape and molestation. Those are terrible things I will never support. The question then becomes how can incest itself be consensual? Easy - if it's wanted, if it has no pressure, no power plays, and no fear of what 'no' could bring, then it can be consensual. The concept of incest is gross to many, and I understand why. Even as someone who fantasizes it I still find it disturbing. But how can we let our personal feelings come between consent? I find scat porn to be gross, but who am I to tell consenting adults they can't shit on each other? It's not my place to define, legalize, and punish the joy of others.
