Inspired by this post on !incest@burggit.moe.
What are Burggit’s thoughts on the ethics (not the legality!) of real life incest? Some common conditions for starters:
- Between consenting people
- Between consenting adults
- Between consenting adults of a “reasonable” age difference
- Between consenting adults, no parent/child relationships permitted
Personally, I am torn between 2 and 4. Can there really be a consenting relationship between adult and child (both being adults)?
P.S.: Please let me know if this should be marked NSFW. I didn’t because this is the type of post I like to see when browsing SFW
That seems like an overly restrictive definition of consent: poor people being unable to give consent to have sex with rich people is absurd, in my opinion. I just mean it in the colloquial sense.
I’d agree that “can’t consent” isn’t quite right here. The power imbalance does affect the meaningfulness of that consent though.
I’m not sure I even agree with that unless the poor person is very poor.
