I'd say the state has a vested interest in not allowing "consenting" (since there was no way this girl was consenting in this case, but let's say she was) adults to engage in incest. Toss all sense of social stigmas and religious taboos out the window, this is still one of those things societies cannot allow. This goes to the fundamental survival of the tribe. You start saying it's ok for people to have sex with immediate family members, you threaten the very existence of the species. And more importantly: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww!
Originally Posted By jonvn You know, this is sort of what happened before society started saying it's a bad idea. You have a small group of people, you interbreed. If you have no one but a sibling, and it's the sibling or nothing, you're going to go for the sibling. Or the daughter.
Originally Posted By jonvn I think we figured it out a long time ago. In some countries, though, it is still customary to marry your first cousin. But don't you think jail is a bit harsh for raping your own daughter? Shouldn't it just be a strong reprimand?
Originally Posted By JohnS1 So, according to this guy's testimony, he woke up and decided to have sex with his girlfriend and, er, didn't wake her up first to see if she had an opinion about his idea? Yeah, right.
Originally Posted By JohnS1 No, but his defense was that he THOUGHT it was his girlfriend. My point is that even his defense is off-base. Who wakes up and starts having sex with someone without at least waking the other person first (at which time he would have seen who it really was). Get what I'm saying?
