I don't know, but according to the following article, one in three-to-four girls, and one in five-to-seven boys, are sexually abused before they turn 18, an overwhelming incidence of which happens within the family. These statistics are well known among industry professionals, who are often quick to add, “and this is a notoriously underreported crime.”
"Ninety-five percent of teen prostitutes and at least one-third of female prisoners were abused as kids. Sexually abused youth are twice as likely to be arrested for a violent offense as adults, are at twice the risk for lifelong mental-health issues, and are twice as likely to attempt or die from teen suicide. The list goes on. Incest is the single biggest commonality between drug and alcohol addiction, mental illness, teenage and adult prostitution, criminal activity, and eating disorders. Abused youths don’t go quietly into the night. They grow up—and 18 isn’t a restart button."

When I was 36, I started dating a 30 year old woman. We wound up living together for over a year. She is the best girlfriend I ever had. I fell deeply in love with her and she loved me.
I found out that she had been sexually abused by her step father for around 10 years, from a very young age until she reached puberty. It messed her up. She became an alcoholic, got married and had a son when she was 17, then got divorced a couple years later and gave up custody, although she and her son remained very close and saw each other often. He even spend holidays and weeks out of the summer with her.
She was hypersexual, which I'm sure was a result of her childhood.
By the time I met her, she had been in therapy for years, had beat alcoholism, had a career, supported herself, and was determined to beat her past and be happy. She was a remarkable person.
There is a good chance that my wife's uncle sexually abused or attempted to sexually abuse her once when she was very young. She has had flashbacks but the memory has been blocked and it's too traumatic for her to confront.0 1 0 0

It happens in real life, and it's no fantasy. 1in 3 girl are sexually abused as children, mostly by family members. Freud's original theory was called the "seduction theory". Basically he noticed his patients that had been sexually abused as kids had mental problems. It was unpopular among the scientists because they didn't want to be the reals their like girl was fucked up.

i had 2 brothers and sex with me was the furthest from their minds... although i was older than my brothers... never even suggested sex growing up... although i don't doubt incest... incest with step fathers is probably very common... more common than you could think... it probably does happen in families brother and sisters... girls with their fathers... although i'd like to think rare... but i didn't reseach the stats... what tom is writing about is the English as it's very common for sons to date their mothers there's not even shame... some societies probably common as well... this world is messed up afterall.
0 2 0 0Sex with my sister wasn't even on my radar and we're 18 months apart. It's not something that most people consider in their real life
is it incest with step father they are not blood relative? who is tom? where on earth do u get that in england its normal for sons to date their mothers?
@rebeliouse there's a famous actor male who's dating his mother... openly... do you live in the uk
It does happen. I saw a statistic that estimated that 10-15% of the population has had some type of incestuous sexual contact. I don’t doubt it but it’s difficult to know for sure how often it happens because I’m sure most people probably keep it a secret.
0 2 0 0wow that high thats crazy what relations did the stats say it was between?
@rebeliouse It was just a total population stat. I have no idea how it breaks down.

Incest like rape is something terrible, but romanticised by some. here has never been a "positive" case of either outside fiction.
But it's a fetish, and you've no idea how far some people take their fetishes...

0 0 0 0It absolutely happens. People make those jokes about super remote villages for a reason. If you don't have a ton of romantic options and you live in a closed off place, incest might become an option, at a certain point.
