Comment on How abnormal is it for a mother to be her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday?

It depends on the actual intention but it potentially falls under what is referred to as covert incest, especially if there’s a pattern. It’s not something people talk about a lot but it’s more common than you’d think and it can definitely have a lasting impact.

How would this be incest? I know most people don’t talk about sex. But some people are more open and talk about this stuff. In your opinion is talking about sex with your children incest?
I mean I think the op it would be weird but my family just shoved everything down and hides it.

Covert incest is a fixed term and that’s a common reaction to hearing it for the first time.
Usually not but if it’s done with hidden motives it sure can be covert incest - which again is a different thing from what the name might lead one to believe.
