If they are just now finding out that they are brother and sister and that information wasn't part of the spark that got the relationship going in the first place then that rules out a few places.

Really the risk of genetic abnormality isn't THAT high for a single generational interbreeding, sissies.

I'd say that relationship just got hotter.

It's South Africa. Are there any white people born there that aren't related? 12 wagons full of original Boers generally wont leafe a very deep gene pool down the line.

"It was "love at first sight" when they met at university almost five years ago, the woman said.

"When I first saw him, we connected," the woman said. "We fell in love and since that day, we never looked back. All we wanted to do was just to have a family and many kids."

She added, "We are going to have a child together. We do not know what we will tell him when he grows up."

They have now ended their relationship and were discussing future arrangements for their child."

So.. if you are so madly in love, why end the relationship? How exactly does anything change knowing that you are brother and sister?

I hear this sort of thing is kind of common. Something about pheremones and the way we perceive people as attractive. One reason why a brother and sister who have never met fall in love. They recognize they're genetically close and want to produce offspring.


They just never learned that aversion training that comes with growing up in the same household together.

I'm sure some more accurate farker could come along and back me up on this, but that's the basic gist of it, I think.

My own kids dont know that there older brother is from a different father... or that they have another older brother that I have with a different woman.

AND... my other kids mother has two siblings that have different fathers.. AND.... my wife oldest has 6 other brothers and sisters that his father had with 3 other women.

I cant even do the math on that one.

Are you in good hands?

Exception Collection: This kind of shiat bothers the hell out of me. I know someone that *still* hasn't been told his genetic father's name. He's almost 40.

I remember reading a story once about a kid, given up by his Irish Catholic family who had too many GD kids and he was adopted by a rich family on the other side of town. Apparently his best friend in school and growing up was his own brother and his high school/college girlfriend was his own sister. Apparently they only just barely recognize that portion of their relationship.

I know my fathers name but I have never met him, don't really care to. I don't see the big deal the man who raised me is my Dad.

That's where these guys are from.

nah, that's a pretty spot-on summation of the whole thing.

Thanks for the Luke and Leia reference.
I can now go back to work satisfied.

Thanks guys. Knew it was something like that. And, while cruising through Memebase, I just now stumbled on this little gem.....

Are you kids very young? At some point, they need to know. And that point is not when they find out on their own when you die.

They're not impressed...

Yeah, much like Heather Graham, it's hot.

Damn.

Oops, read that as though it were an African town. (Mem-bah-seh).

On another note, there's a reason I'll never deposit to a sperm bank. What if I accidently hook up with my own daughter later in life? The horror

And I thought it was awkward when my parents met my fiance's.

She added, "We are going to have a child together. We do not know what we will tell him when he grows up.

You won't have to tell him anything; he'll be farkin' retarded.

Statistically this thing must happen all the time with all the cuckolding and single parenting going on.

It's only sick if the woman isn't hot, right? RIGHT?

My half-sister and I had a moment, which we quickly backed away from before anything happened. We first met when I was 28 and she was 22.

On the other hand my adopted cousins and I messed around quite a bit. Hey, we were all adopted and in New York, where first cousin marriage is legal (which it is NOT in West Virginia).

Well, I bet the bride's family will waive the "lobola" fee.

Before you read this: Please don't judge me... I'm just sharing my story because people asked...

Wow... okay, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to tell anyone about this, but it's late and I'm sleep deprived so i guess I'll just write it now and regret it in the morning :/

First of all, - just for some background: My mom died right when I was born, (she was actually really, really hot- but this isn't about her. I guess that's farked up to say, but whatever.) I actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.

Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When I was about 17 or 18 I first noticed that my sister was a hottie.

I don't want to go into too many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that she made of herself. I knew she didn't make it for me- but I thought she was so farking beautiful that I watched it twice. I probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time I found the video, all this crazy shiat went down and I had to leave home. (My dad's family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. I never talk about it).

Sooo... I was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when I left home.

My friend and I went to go pick her up. When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I just wanted to fark her brains out. Looking back on it now, it's pretty messed up- but I think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, you know? I mean, it wasn't like ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly.

After we left, we all went to crash with my Sister's friends. On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my Sister, and I got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy- and even though she was my sister- I just felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexy hugging.

Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time.

My friend and my sister never hooked up I don't think- but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident. It was farked up. I almost died. But when I was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she started gives me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.

Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time- like I was totally over her. But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that), and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I've ever farking seen and it brought back all the old feelings. Sigh.

A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before (the sexual tension guy). I can't say I was surprised.

But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and I were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when I told her that Darth Vader was our father and that I had to go face him.

Wasn't there some research that said Women not using the birth control pill are more attracted to men with a different immune system, but women on the pill are attracted to men with similar immune systems? (quick Google search ) yep, here is an article about it. Link (new window)(new window)

Maybe she was on the pill

Don't worry about it; your daughter has no need going to a sperm bank.

yah....we are trying to figure out how to introduce them all.. their is still a lot of hate amongst some of the "adults" Hell... just getting the kids in a room would be.. uhh.. 13?? never mind the adults involved..would bring in another..hmm.. 8 or 9? people.

never mind that 4 of the kids are over 18 now. We know we need to fix this.. its difficult.

Consanguinity is a Dutch hobby. Even accounting for a lot of fresh DNA between 1940 and 1945 the chances of any Dutch couple being cousins is about 1 in 4.

There was a pretty good episode of House kind of like this.
