Exactly! I’m sterilized so I don’t see an issue with dating my daughter.

Unless they can reproduce, I don’t see the issue here.

There is a power imbalance when dating your daughter. Just like a teacher is generally not allowed to date their student. So there is an issue with dating your daughter.

So… okay if it’s my sister, then?

From a narrow ethical standpoint, there is no issue I can see?

While the medical concerns with incest don’t apply here, the stigma of having sexual relations with a relative usually doesn’t take such technicalities into account.

Why should the biological stigma matter when the only remaining stigma is social?

Power dynamics, access/grooming to family members.
The issue isn’t about reproduction, though neither of those would apply in this scenario where we assume they were estranged.

Seems like none of those apply here though. These two didn’t even know they were brothers until they were already together romantically.

Homophobia masked as incestphobia (not sure if real word…)

I’m not sure what biological stigma is supposed to mean. Sexual relations between siblings gives most people the ick regardless of technicalities, and that is a social stigma, the only kind of stigma I’m aware of.

I think that’s all shit we are taught. In highschool there was a brother and sister in the grade above me that were notoriously very clingy with each other and their parents didn’t let them take sex ed because that class needed parental sign off and the bible was the only teacher they needed or some stupid shit. Anyway they were seen fucking in the storage room when extra chairs were needed for an event.

“Biological stigma” would refer to the effects of having an incestuous child.
“Social stigma” would refer to the sexual relationship between people in a close familial relationship, which is clearly not the case since they had no prior relationship.
Since these men wouldn’t fall under either category, what other stigma is there?

Would be still legal in Germany
