Hmm...Brain Food...

Ok guys, this is an excerpt from an essay by Haidt, who we study in my Honors class.

Julie and Mark are brother and sister. They are traveling together in
France on summer vacation from college. One night they are staying
alone in a cabin near the beach. They decide that it would be
interesting and fun if they tried making love. At the very least it would
be a new experience for each of them. Julie was already taking birth
control pills, but Mark uses a condom too, just to be safe. They both
enjoy making love, but they decide not to do it again. They keep that
night as a special secret, which makes them feel even closer to each
other. What do you think about that? Was it OK for them to make
love?

Ok guys. This was kinda a mind fuck for me. I mean, reading wincest is completely different than incest in real life...I don't know really. I mean, I thought about it, and I eventually decided that maybe is wasn't wrong so much as socially unacceptable. I mean, in Egypt it was perfectly acceptable to hook up with your sibling.

Eh. My main problem would be the reproducing, but since that wasn't really a factor here...I guess I don't really get to say it's wrong...
