Are we seeing signs that incest is becoming more accepted in society, or at least being less demonized?
One look at the popularity of incest in mainstream porn might indicate that-the majority of incest in porn is simulated, but there are places on the clearweb that are legitimate and 100% legal that show incestual sexual content, often between twin sisters. There are even jokes and memes circulating in our cultural zeitgeist that poke fun at incest in a seemingly non-dismissive way (jokes/memes about Alabama and "stepbrother/stepsister" are some of the common ones).
Incest is still technically illegal in many places, and the general reaction to incest in society is disgust, but, given the examples above, it doesn't seem to be as general as it was before.
It is always interesting getting into a discussion with people who are against incest, as thier arguments are very circular. "Why do you think incest is wrong?" "Because that's family-it's wrong to have sex with family." "But why?" "Because that's your family! it's gross." "But why is it gross?" "Because that's your mom/dad/sibling-it's just wrong." etc etc. They can never define exactly WHY they think it's wrong or gross-it has been so ingrained in them without even knowing why.
Incest/incestual relationships have been a part of my life since I was a child, and have been a turn-on for me my whole life. I have multiple sets of grandparents, and aunts and uncles, who are cousins, so, in a way, I am a product of incest.
Thoughts?

It also could be they have a natural predisposition to not be as loving thus more dismissive and disgusted by it, hence why they cannot come up with good explanations, much like anti-pedophilia types. If it's a personality trait and nothing they've hard to learn to hate they don't have a way of knowing *why* they don't like it, they just...do.

Many hard ore atheists I've met are baffled as to why I believe in the afterlife despite being a nonbeliever in god. I cannot give a clear reason why I do because it's more of a personality thing as opposed to an ingrained conditioned belief. Same with my pedophilia.

I remember seeing that incest was one of the most popular porn searches. So even if it's not quite become worldwide accepted, it is definitely becoming quietly popular. Hopefully this translates into parents introduce their kids to it.
