Incest and sexual assault are two different things. Incest is consentual, and sexual assault is not. It's as simple as that. Yeah, and most societies have taboos against homosexuality as well. What is your definition of "higher animals"? Proponents of homosexuality point to the fact that animals engage in homosexual acts at times, hence it's "natural". Animals also practice incest. My guess is that in order to diminish the significant of this fact, you're only considering the actions of "higher animals" as legitimate. Nice try, but incest occurs in nature, too.
All quote from Farrell: (the stuff I can put on this site {QUOTE]"When I get my most glowing positive cases, 6 out of 200," says Farrell, "the incest is part of the family's open, sensual style of life, wherein sex is an outgrowth of warmth and affection. It is more likely that the father has good sex with his wife, and his wife is likely to know and approve -- and in one or two cases to join in." [just a wholesome family, not a couple of perverts.] If pushed to the wall, would Farrell urge incest on families? "Incest is like a magnifying glass," he summarizes. "In some circumstances it magnifies the beauty of the relationship..." because millions of people who are now refraining from touching, holding, and genitally caressing their children, when that is really a part of a caring, loving expression, are repressing the sexuality of a lot of children and themselves Charles Moser and Warren Farrell both emphasized that most incest problems are caused by "treaters," i.e. therapists cause problems where none exist. Moser claimed that "most incest cases have a loving nature" and that a daughter (in father-daughter incest) gets "special treatment" from the father. "the incest is part of the family's open, sensual style of life, wherein sex is an outgrowth of warmth and affection..."[/QUOTE] I have no affection for Kinsey. The man put children as young as FOUR into a lab, had them masturbate and "tested" how long it took them. Nuff said on him. He also obtained simillar information from known pedophiles for his "research." When I was studying Psychology, Kinsey was almost totally discredited by rational psychologists and researchers. If Farrell had a relationship with him, it means nothing good to either of them.
Relevence. Farrell is a pedophile. Jiimaan said he wasn't. Jiimaan used him as a reference. PEDOPHILES do not impress me. Or anyone else. WHY quote a pedophile? Then deny he is one?
Incest Isnt Consensual! I've ONLY spent seven pages explaining and giving references to attest to that. Sheesh. I'm not the narrow minded one.
sure it is, sexual assault isnt. You honestly believe that two people who are related cant fall in love?
Yes I know closely related people cannot healthily "fall in love." Healthy people don't look to their own families to find sexaul relationships or sexual LOVE! Sick people might (but even MOST sick people do not, only pedophiles do.) Have you read ANYTHING I have posted?
I think you are misguided if you truly believe that. You are making such a broad generalization. Surely, there must be ONE couple who who has had sex not because of any sexual perversion, but because they wanted to.
Can you find one? The APA (American Psychological Association) sees incest as an emotional illness, ONE? Who knows? Normal people don't fuck their daughters. (and most ABNORMAL ones don't either, it takes a certain kind of sick person not only to do this, but to think this destructive behavior is in ANY way fine.) NUFF SAID!!!!
havent we gone over the whole incest is illegal thing already? Answer this. If two relatives CONSENT to have sex with each other, should that be banned? Now, this is, of course, hypothetical.
oh yeah, let me turn this around a bit Normal people dont fuck people of the same sex. (And most ABNORMAL ones dont either, it takes a certain kind of sick person not only to do this, but to think this destructive behavior is in ANY WAY FINE. I'm sure many people in America and around the world especially would agree with this. I dont in anyway condone it, but your arguments and your accusations against incest are easily turned against homosexuality.
Yes, they do. When you look at homosexuality, you see a LOT of "Normal" well adjusted people. When you look at pedophiles, you see people with SERIOUS psychiatric problems, when you see their victims, you see serious empariment FROM the sexual abuse. You DO NOT see this with or from adult (or adolecent) consensual homosexual sex.
Nah, you can't. It isnt ME saying it is so, it is the prevalant knowlege of sexual actions and abuses. DO some research and read the stuff I posted before about sexual assault and what it entails. OR find your own. It is 2:00 in the morning, I have kids getting up in 4 hours. I'm going to bed.
i've read all the links you posted, and they are all BS. You shouldnt make wide sweeping generalizations. No one likes them and there are always exceptions. Goodnite.
Fair trial and "trumping the victims rights" don't have to go hand in hand. And I can't define every situation a woman can be raped in, and I'm not going to play this "what if" game you want to play. If a woman feels she was forced to have sex with a man, that is rape. And I didn't mean that you are going out oppressing raped women, just that your attitude on the subject is a perfect example of why women aren't coming forward with their charges. Things like "women should take more responsibility" and "we put too much of this on the men" is the exact type of thing women hear to make them feel like the rape was their fault, and makes them feel ashamed because they got raped, like they caused it, or deserved it. It doesn't matter if that woman is wearing the tinest skirt in the world at the craziest party in the world, a man does not need to force himself on her. The act of rape is completely 100% the man's doing. No matter what the woman has done up until that point. Now incest...I think that consentual adults having insestual relations is very rarely gong to be prosecuted, basically no one is likely to end up in jail in that situation because who is going to charge them with the crime when both adults are willing in the relationship. Basically, it isn't much of an issue. Our incest laws are to protect families from sexual abuse, to protect families from becomming victims. The laws are there for a very important reason. Hell, I know cousins who are married, and I don't judge them. If they are happy then they are happy. What I would have a problem with, however, is the parents that sleeps with their children, has their children sleep with each other, etc...Anything where people are being tken advantage of. Especially young children who don't necessarily know their rights yet when it comes to their own bodies (and of course wont be learning it from those type of parents). Comparing incest to homosexuality isn't relevant because there isn't near as many cases of homosexuals taking advantage of little children, as like in insestuous relationships. And a man that rapes boys isn't necessarily homosexual.
