I started a new thread out of respect to Roe,
I have no ill feelings towards you dear Roe or anyone else here.

I just don't want people getting HURT. Pain seems to be the biggest
thing with GSA. Doesnt matter if your happy or sad about it. We all
feel some kind of pain because of it.

Quoted by Vin in another thread,

"I would like to see us get away from discussing the legal aspects of GSA, and talking more about it's psychology...the mental dynamics of a GSA relationship. I know that people like Myshaddow have been helped with the reminder that incest is illegal and the "legal" consequences of getting caught. But I think we do harm when we boo hoo the sex and tell people that they're *bleeped* if they "cross that -sexual- line" or they cross that legal line of committing incest. They aren't. They become *bleeped* when they cross that psychological line...when they venture into territory that crosses so many psychological boundaries within themselves."

The legal consequences are part of the psychological aspect. Right?
How could they not be? When GSA happens to someone and they start researching, whats the #1 thing they look up? Incest tops the list.
Most people dont even know what GSA is!

I have been vocal about the legal aspect of GSA for obvious reasons
and not so obvious reasons. Alot of the things I have to say about the legal are for good reasons. I don't want to see anyone go to jail or even have
to deal with being questioned about it.

My attitude towards the legal part didn't come till much later in my GSA.

In the beginning, None of that mattered. I never felt it was "wrong"
even though I was cheating on my hub. He was my brother! It didn't count.

If you want to talk about the psychological only, well then thats great!
Let's go. I'm ready for anything.

Honestly what helped me the most was finding people to talk to about the
psychological aspect of it. How it affected me inside my mind.

I boo-hoo the sex part because that part is what messed up my relationship with my brother BIG TIME

I've shared alot about what happened with us on this site. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
No need to re-live all of it, just trying to give some of yall a clue as to why
I have my opinions on certain things.

So Vin,
How do we start this discussion?
I never studied psychology, where do we go from here?
