A Practical Guide to Incest

Interest in incest has never been higher. While the subject has been a recurring theme in stories since the very beginning of human history, a noticeable shift is taking place in modern times and mainstream entertainment is exploring incest with greater frequency and in a less judgmental and negative light. This has led to a tentative acclimation of the idea into the current sexual climate; reactions of disgust and mockery have changed, at least in some people, to curiosity and appeal. However, powerful psychological, biological and cultural barriers still remain and the path toward incest can be hazardous and seemingly insurmountable.

We at the Incest Institute have conducted over 1700 interviews with individuals who have either attempted or experienced consensual incest. With this data we have made progress toward the understanding of how successful incestuous sex can occur. Our mission is to simply gather and share knowledge of this rare and fascinating aspect of humanity and we would now like to offer a brief and basic outline of strategies for those who seek it out.


First Threshold: The Idea

If having a sexual relationship with a family member is something you wish to pursue, the initial step towards realizing your intention, and perhaps the hardest step to take, is communicating the idea of incest to the chosen relative.

We have to issue this caveat – incest is not a realistic goal. A precise success rate is impossible to determine but our research suggests that a majority of attempts fail. Failure, at best, will mean embarrassment and an awkward future; at worst, especially when coercion, manipulation or deception is involved, it will mean disaster. Proceed with caution – remember you are dealing with a loved one.

With that in mind, incest can and does happen. Our efforts to predict how an individual will react to the idea based on personality type have been completely fruitless; in essence, anybody could be potentially incestuous. We must admit that the most reliable indicator seems to be the intuition of those wishing to initiate the relationship; while it is not always correct, a ‘gut feeling’ can be used as a guideline as to whether or not to begin.

The first step then, the introduction of the idea – the subjects of our research have used a wide variety of approaches and we believe we have found a few general patterns for success.

An open, casual, face-to-face verbal statement of the desire for incest, while a bold and risky step to take, seems to be the most effective approach.
