OP

[(Anonymous)]

The issue for me is that my mother was molested by her brother when she was a child. So there is incest in my family. Not consensual incest like this, but still incest (and sibling incest at that). I feel guilty not because I think there is anything wrong with writing it or reading it, but because I don't think I personally should be turned on by it or enjoy reading about it as a non-unhealthy relationship.

Re: OP

I think the important thing here really is the separation of fiction and reality. After all, it's a well-known phenomenon that people find things enjoyable in fiction that we find detestable in reality. Aristotle even says so in his Poetics, and it's over two thousand years old. It's not exactly a new thing!

There's also the fact that in fiction certain situations may work as symbols rather than, or as well as, the actual depicted events. As symbols (even subconsciously perceived) they can help us work through issues, or just have an outlet for an emotional need. Rape, for example, can (amongst a lot of other things) be a symbol of giving up control, for letting go of all responsibilities for a little while. It doesn't mean the reader actually wants to be raped.

But the most important thing I think you should remember is that these fictional characters aren't your family members. You're not imagining your family members doing these things.
