Let me use Homosexuality here as a reference point. Homosexuality is not illegal in this country. Yet the psychology of hate regarding it is still enough to drive young gay kids to commit suicide. There is a psychology of hate towards incest also. That psychology comes into us via religious prohibition, just as it does against homosexuality.

I don't want to see anyone go to jail either. Many states that have incest laws don't typically enforce them. It depends more on how "conservative" the state is...the more conservative, the more likely they are to prosecute you on incest charges. There are also the problems of evidence and reasonable search and sesure....unless someone has put an illegal spy cam in your bedroom, it's highly unlikely that they will have any evidence against you...unless you get pregnant.

And that is the normal attitude we all tend to have with it. It's like we somehow deserve this because of what we were denied as family. Again, this is a matter of psychology...how we think and process data in our minds. Of course it's not "right"...because we are violating marriage vows and trust....but that doesn't stop the psychology of it from making sense that we somehow deserve to bond this way because of the bonding we were denied as a family.

I would beg to differ, in that it wasn't the sex, but the mental attitudes that sprang from the sex...possessiveness, control, manipulation, malintent, deception, guilt...
