Alright I have a kind of perverted question (Not a Sex Thread)...

[LostInAnomie]

... The other night I was talking to one of my friends who shares a mutual friend with me. During our discussion he brought up our mutual friend's wife and how wild she used to be in her younger days. I asked him what he meant and he told me that once upon a time she had a three-way with her identical twin and her twin's boyfriend.

Now here is the question: Would you consider what she did to be incest? If not why?

[Tafiti]

1. Well, I suppose that depends.

Did the twins do anything to each other? Or just "gang up" on the dude?

[LostInAnomie]

3. That I don't know...

... and my friend didn't know either. He did know for sure that the episode happened though because she has admitted it to him in front of her husband.

I'm guessing that their had to be at least a little touching between the two though.

[Tafiti]

8. Technically, then...

...yes, I suppose it was. But anthropologically speaking, incest isn't necessarily a big deal, especially with two women. It's really a cultural thing.

Incest is problematic because of the risk of birth defects, when it's practiced between a male and female. But this applies, basically, to only immediate family. I've read that intercourse between first cousins only raises the risk of birth defects (retardation) infinitesimally.

2. I'm not being mean here, I promise, LostInAnomie . . .

but I'd bet we all did things in our "younger days" that would be hurtful to have discussed by our "friends" behind our backs. Just sayin'. :shrug:

[LostInAnomie]

4. She's pretty open about the stuff...

... I doubt she would be offended (See above post).

[bluedawg12]

5. Yes. Incest it was. n/t

[Wapsie B]

6. Yeah there was probably incest involved

with the various things people can do in a three-way. Or so I've been told. But so what? Consenting adults and all that......
If only to find a woman who's wilder days are not behind her.

7. "one of my friends who shares a mutual friend with me."

Don't we all, honey,

Love is the only answer

[hfojvt]

9. no

my dictionary defines incest as "sexual relations between persons regarded as too closely related to legally marry each other". Without the possibility of same-sex marriage, or, more importantly, the possibility of an inbred pregnancy, there is no violation of an incest taboo. However, threeways would also be considered taboo by many.
Now I wonder if a state like Massachusetts which has legalized gay marriage, (or is it civil unions?) would allow sisters, brothers, or same-sex 1st cousins to marry, and if not, why not?

11. There you go.

That says it all and answers the question forthright.

10. I've noticed that a lot of people seem to have an incest

blind-spot when it comes to identical twins. Especially in three-ways.

I have a couple of friends (identical sisters) who I have seen kiss on a couple of drunken occasions. But both times, it was for the benefit of their boyfriends who thought it was hot. I guess it seems less like incest if they're just doing it to turn on a third party and not because they're really into each other sexually.

If, on the other hand, I thought they were having sex in their shared room at night or something, I would be pretty squicked out.

[MrScorpio]

12. Why are you bringing up my past like this?

I thought that we agreed to keep this on the down low?

[In_The_Wind]

13. It sounds like you are way too interested ...

in someone's wife ...

[Shell Beau]

14. Sounds gross to me. What if they

were of the opposite sex (fraternal twins), it wouldn't be okay then. It's not okay IMO. I guess they were old enough to both consent to it, but it conjures up a gross image for me. Whatever, it is their past and they may want to keep it that way. :shrug:

[bertha katzenengel]

15. of course. n/t

[MissMillie]

16. Well, being an identical twin....

all I can say is EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

And my sis is my best friend too, but I couldn't even.... blech. I'm not going there.

[eyesroll]

17. Hm...I don't know.

I mean...a guy who's been in a MMF threesome but went out of his way to enforce the "woah, dude, we're both doing HER, not each other" zone wouldn't say he's had a homosexual experience.

It's all semantics, anyway.

I actually had this debate recently about whether Anya propositioning both Xander halves for a threeway in that one episode of "Buffy." Nobody had a good answer.

[swimboy]

22. I felt like no-one should fault Anya for taking advantage of a special set

of , um, circumstances that was available for a limited time. She would not have been untrue to Xander. Hell, I think there were opportunities for the Xanders to explore with or without Anya. :evilgrin:

[RedCloud]

18. I'm withholding judgment until I get visual proof...

This could all be hearsay.

That having been said, siblings often rival each other, so the encounter of a mutual sex partner fulfills a need for some siblings, not all mind you.

Once again at the forefront of permissiveness,
RedCloud

19. I would consider it to be none of my business

And though I know you mentioned that she talks about it herself, it still seems pretty rude for your friend to be telling you and for you to be asking about it on a message board. JMO

20. I'm still traumatized by the time that my grandmother...

walked in and found me and my cousin (who is my same age) making out on the sofa. We were, I don't know, maybe 11 or 12 at the time.

[khashka]

21. Does it really matter?

She and her twin are OK with it.. so?

There are only three people who are qualified to have an opinion - her, her sister, the boyfriend.

The more important question is why your friend can't keep his mouth shut.

23. Exactly right!

No harm, no foul. Until other parties started speculating.
