  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.

      Yes, these are social norms, and those are taught.

    “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?

      I don’t think we’re using the same definition of stigma.

      Stigma is a profound, unfair negative belief or stereotype attached to a person or group, causing shame, social rejection, and discrimination.

      I’m having a hard time making any of the stuff you’re saying make sense with that definition, and the whole word is inherently social.

      The fact is that a lot of people think it’s nasty to fuck your brother, and that you should stop fucking him when you realize you’re related to him. I see the nuance in this situation, but a lot of people don’t, and if they maintain the relationship they will have to deal with those people. It’s already hard enough to deal with homophobia without this on top.

        I don’t understand how you can read that definition and not comprehend my comment. Perhaps you could explain in your own words what the stigma here should be.
