Am I the only person utterly weirded out by the fact we've had two people admit to being in incestuous relationships in response to this secret?

Could be trolls I suppose, but something makes me think not.

I don't think it's as rare as most of the population would like you to believe. I also think the term "relationship" is usually a bit too much for what it is. Like one OP above said, it was with a cousin and sounded to be mostly lusty. It's easy to get caught up in a web of lust when it's not "hurting" anything, but the idea of it can tear a family apart even if the two don't have any plans on a relationship.

Is that "something" the fact that incest does in fact happen in real life?

As the nonnie who had a thing with her uncle, I'd like to give a little more context.

I'm not saying it was right, but there was a lot of background. I am a survivor of sexual abuse at the hands of a family member, and the uncle I mentioned was one of the few men I trusted implicitly. I approached him, knowing how open minded he and his wife are, with the request that he help me face some of my fears. In the end it carried on longer than it should have, and may not have been the best thing to do at all, but it did enable me to learn to deal with having a crush on someone without completely flipping out.

I do understand why it's not acceptable (I'm a biologist, of course I get it), but it's hard to deal with visceral hatred (not on your part, but from others) when people aren't willing to listen to the fact that within a family you may have a safer space to explore your sexual identity. The level of trust that can be present in some family relationships is often greater than that of most friendships at that age.

You're lucky to have someone you trust so much within your family and willing to help with your fears.

Yes I am. Thanks nonnie. :-)

I've crushed on an uncle before. Still do sometimes. It's just a silly harmless crush. IDG what the big deal is.
