Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health 
But is that really true?
I understand the biological justification loop hole...
I've seen a lot of these questions lately, and it seems like many of the opinions given are somewhere between "go for it, it's not like you're blood related" to "well it could be complicated, but at least you're not related".
I don't judge people for what they choose to do...
But I just think that people need to understand what they're actually asking, as well as what advice they're getting/giving.
As a person that has full, half, and step siblings... they are ALL FAMILY MEMBERS to me. I'm close to them. I love them. I trust them.
So as an example... when a girl is 18 and her step brother is 32... how does the fact that "they're not blood related" make it "ok" for them to do whatever? But if for instance, they had the same dad, even though they were not raised together because he had two completely different families with two different wives... instead of "OK" now all of a sudden it's off the charts 'wrong, sick, gross, etc.".
You can say she's "not related to be" if that makes you feel better... but in reality... she's YOUR SISTER by living arrangement (see image above), as your parents raised you as siblings. Think about it...
Again, I'm NOT judging...
Personally, I believe that people simply don't think these things through before they ask these questions or offer advice on them.
What Girls & Guys Said
22 23It is not incest if your step related no blood tie's with the family.
Yes I did read it. So don't call me a lair.
If you did, then your reading comprehension is severely lacking.
My opinion stands no matter what.
Listen man, I clearly stated that I know that there is a legal definition of what is normally considered "incest" - that was NOT the question. So... setting the WORD INCEST aside... seems like some people are hanging up on that word, and that word is NOT the point. Is it ALWAYS OK to have sex with a step relative no matter what? Age? Relationship? Living circumstance? Just because they're not "blood related"?
Try being nice.
Incest is with family. If it is not family it is not incest.
Otherwise the definition of incest or family needs to be changed.
Please read the full question. The very first line is: "Yeah... I KNOW..."they're not blood related, so it's not incest".
if you read the full question, you'll notice where I state that I consider my full, half, AND step siblings to be MY FAMILY.
If you are adopted by them it is family and incest. If not then officially speaking not. But if you want to consider it incest feel free.
I get your answer. Like some others, you're getting hung up on the word, and not addressing the actual situation. If a boy and girl are raised from little kids as brother and sister, then even tho not blood related, they are effectively... brother and sister. I thought about this earlier. I have had a stepdad since I was little. I refer to him and my mom as "my parents". He refers to me as "out daughter" (meaning he and my mom) - but he's not my biological father. What if...(God forbid) my mom had tragically died when I was 18? Would it be OK for my stepdad and I to start a sexual relationship because "it's not incest"? It's just not black and white - and I think people are missing that.
our* daughter.
That's a really interesting point I think the distinction lies in how long they lived together and how old they were when their families joined
Also whether it's just sexual attraction or actual romantic attraction
I'd say that's fair.
I guess it depends on if they were raised together.
Like if your mom or dad remarries when you are 22 and your step sister is 23, its not that big a deal, if you were raised together its kinda weird
good point
Well, I haven't read the details but, incest is fine if, they're not related in blood and they're the right age unless, they're announcing it to the society.
Read the details. If step siblings are raised as brother and sister in a family unit.
Well, after reading the details and, sex between someone from the same household no matter they're not the same blood isn't acceptable. Well, there a trillion people to choose from so, having sex with a family member is ridiculous.
And there you have it
And there you go.
I didn't get u🤔
Apart from potential genetic issues i dont see why not as long as its fully consensual
Incest is good when not forced
That's just creepy to me.
I just think it's not thought through. It's just letting natural curiosity and sexual arousal do your thinking for you.
Yep... I agree.
I think it's dodgy territory
for sure.
I completely agree with what you're saying I got your back
what's frustrating is the lack of reading comprehension in this place, LOL
Lol ikr
It’s fine
What's fine exactly?
I think that sexual relationships in the family ruin the family dynamic. Marry someone from outside your family and make babies with them to add more family to your already existing family, dont just have sex with your family lmao.
thank you
I would do it
I think there are a lot more variables into a question like this than a flat yes or no from what’s is given. How long have they been living as a family, what is the blood relation and so on. I think the larger issue that arises is the possibility of deformity in the genetic line when individuals procreate within the same direct genetic pool. Examples being many centuries of royalty with keeping it very close within the family.
thanks
If you're not blood related it's not incest
SMH... please read the question update.
1. I posted before you updated 2. My opinion still stays the same
OK, so since it's not "incest" by legal definition , its OK? Age limit? Living circumstances? You're missing the point of the question.
Yes it's OK, Age limit us the same as normal standards, if she's legal it's no one's business what happens. Living circumstances are irrelevant. I'm not.
Incest are fine if no blood relations.
Fine? The only issue is if they're "blood related" ... otherwise, anything goes?
yes.
So... if step siblings that were raised together from the time they were little kids decide to start having sex, that's totally fine... but if half siblings that are ten years apart and were NOT raised together did it... that would be "wrong"?
i think boundary is kept in between family, some allow a lot some not at all, depend on personal preferences.
Some of best porn I've seen but wouldn't recommend that
LOL.
i believe that it is the siblings choice and as long as the both agree upon it with no qualms. the laws and standard of society shouldn't be able to deny them or single them out and ridicule them for their decision. However bother parties must agree upon this before doing it and must have no regrets about and if that is the case i am perfectly okay with it
I think as long as they aren’t blood related or grew up together it’s not wrong. However if they’re step siblings yet they grew up with each other in their childhood I believe that would be considered wrong :/
