Incest is almost never between two consenting adults. There is almost always an inappropriate power dynamic, coercion, and/or grooming.

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I don't think we have enough data to make that assumption.

[–] cosmos8188@leminal.space 7 points 3 days ago

That is correct, and that is why we shouldn't make any wild assumptions which dont hold up to the facts. This is essentially shooting blindly within the smoke - there are better ways than relying on assumptions or the "feel".

Only abstract is available by that link.
And the abstract doesn't support your exact claims.

Also:

group of adolescent sibling incest offenders (n=21) compared to a group of adolescent non-sibling offenders (n=24).

Do you call this well studied?

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Do you call this well studied?

Yes.

Feel free to review any of the 54,000 scientific papers if you don't like the one I shared. If you'd read and understood the abstract, you'd have seen that it is both an original study and review of the field of previous research. The page also includes links directly to dozens of related and cited papers. Psychological and behavioral studies are typically case studies, or group studies like this. This is considered a larger study in the field.

Feel free to present any paper that supports your counterclaim that there is simply not enough known about the issue to determine whether sibling incest is harmful or not. Please be sure that is is from this century and well-cited, since I did you the same courtesy. You can access full-text articles through an academic login, many public libraries, or archive sites.

I think we do.

[–] SethW@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But then the problem is the grooming not the incest so grooming should be the taboo

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Both can be Taboo, and should be.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago

So in the cases where it is not, you'd allow incest?
