“Incest” can mean very different things.
An adult raping a child can be incest.
Middle-aged adults consenting to share loving sexual affection with each other can be incest.
This is why I have preferred to refer to the latter as consanguineous relationships, or consanguineous sex, or consanguinamory. Love, affection, recreational sex between people who mutually consent is an entirely different thing from rape, assault, and abuse. It can be a difficult word to pronounce. kahn...sang...win...am...oree It means loving (someone of) the same blood. It should never be lumped together with abuse. Consaguinamorous people should have equal rights and shouldn't have to live in fear.
the term consanguinamory is better.
