Hello. I'm Robin, 50s-something mother who is very much involved with my wonderful son. We are private people (but posting here is an oxymoron), and I began seeking others with whom I might be able to discuss issues related to the kind of relationship this site deals with.
You've got to be kidding. You CONDONE incestual sex because they'are adults? What a sad and warped value system you adhere to. My guess is you are empty at the very core of who you are, attempting to fill that space with any and all things you can possibly indulge yourself in, only to find that place still unfullfilled. Deny it aloud, but I bet I'm dead on. You embrace biological brothers and sisters who are clearly ignorant of any decent and healthy boundaries, having sex together (shaking head at the ignorance, YOURS, that validates the ignorance of the people involved.)Notice a couple of important things about this comment, in addition to this person choosing to be Anonymous: 1. This person never even attempts to justify his or her bigotry by giving any reason why adult siblings shouldn’t be free to be together, and 2. Unable to justify his or her bigotry, he or she attempts to personally attack me.
Blood relatives, an aunt and her brother’s son have been convicted for having an incestuous relationship.
The related couple were yesterday sentenced to four years in jail or a fine option of E2000 each.
They both failed to pay the fine.
The relatives are said to have been reported to the police by an angry family elder, who on several occasions found them having intercourse.Rat. A jealous rat. He should have read this.
The case was before Magistrate Musa Nxumalo, who slammed the two saying the deed was devilish and unSwazi.Notice he doesn’t back up his bigotry with anything factual.
“It is unacceptable at all,” said Magistrate Nxumalo.
Other people who were in court labelled this practice as unSwazi while flatly condemning the aunt as she was older than her nephew.I wonder what their love lives are like, if they have them. Would everyone in the community approve of them?
The grandfather, who was identified as Mdluli was present in court, armed with a knobkerrie and visibly angry.Sounds like perhaps he’s the one who has a problem.
While outside, waiting for the trial to start, he could be seen talking alone and wielding his weapon to imaginary foes.Sounds like a credible witness, right?
In an interview, Mkhulu Mdluli slammed their actions.
“This is unSwazi my child, this boy is very young, the lady is his blood aunt.
I am disgusted by their conduct,” he said angrily.
A federal judge on Wednesday grilled a state attorney pushing for dismissal of a lawsuit filed by reality TV show stars that could decriminalize polygamy in Utah.Prosecutors say the "Sister Wives" case should be dismissed because they won’t file bigamy charges against the polygamous Brown family, but U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups questioned whether that move was a "ruse" to duck the suit.
"What about the next couple?" Waddoups said. "What’s the policy reason behind this that would give assurances that prosecutions won’t occur in the future?"
Polygamy is one of the few practices that still evokes genuine disgust in people. It’s a watchword for ignorance, sexual depredation, oppression of women and weird culty outfits.To bigots and people ignorant of the wide range of polygamy and the wider range of polyamory.
Brown and his wives — Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn — remain victims and continue to live under the stigma of being considered felons, Turley said, noting they fled to Nevada last year.
While all states outlaw bigamy, some like Utah have laws that not only prohibit citizens from having more than one marriage licence, but also make it illegal to even purport to be married to multiple partners. Utah’s bigamy statute even bans unmarried adults from living together and having a sexual relationship.Ridiculous.
I want to let people know that I'm offering workshops on Sex-Positive Parenting. I have one coming up in Portland, OR, on Aug 4, and am looking for folks to register! So if any of you readers are in the PDX area, please come on out!You're welcome, and we're glad to let people know.
A woman raped by the adult son she adopted out as a child has asked the courts to reveal his name, even though it could identify her.
The 29-year-old man, who was sentenced to five years and nine months in prison on Tuesday, was convicted of assaulting and raping his biological mother some months after he tracked her down to ask questions about his parentage last year.
But rather than multiple rapes, he was convicted on nine counts of incest after the jury found the sexual relationship they embarked on was consensual to begin with.Okay, if a jury in a court of law said it was consensual and convicted him of incest rather than assault/rape, why does the news article call it rape? Is this a bias against Genetic Sexual Attraction? As it turns out, if I'm reading it right, it looks like they believe it was an ongoing, consensual relationship that involved one incident of rape. I think. The defense plans to appeal on what they claim is a contradiction.
The bigots who say hurtful things about such families should wake up to reality that love is love.
We have all the same wants, needs, dreams and desires as any other couple though, and we want the same kind of life as any other too.
My name is Lauren and my other half, his name is Damian. We are first cousins. And yes, we are crazy, head-over-heels in love.
Obviously we are not a normal, everyday couple and for that I apologize, to you the reader, to my family and to anyone else that takes issue with this fact. But that defining detail changes nothing about how we love each other or anyone else. We just are who we are and we want our loved ones to know us. To know us and to love us, even as a couple.
Damian and I love our children very much, Kayley love bug and Violet princess. We are dedicated to making a life for us and them. We want to show them the world, everything that is awesome and amazing and happy. We most of all, want to show them LOVE. We have so much to give.
Sensitive subject-matter is handled with tact and intelligence in this tart if talky US indie.
Though looking somewhat older than her character's 17 years (working out the characters' ages is a frequent distraction), diminutive newcomer Tallie Medel compels attention as intelligent, analytical high-schooler Jackie Kimball -- whose dark green bushbaby eyes peer out at the world under black bangs. Brought up in austere comfort by her writer mother -- played by Aundrea Fares as an wispily ethereal Patti Smith lookalike -- after the mysterious, possibly drug-related death of her father, Jackie is on nodding terms with her sister Jean (Kati Schwartz) but has long nursed an intense crush on her charismatic, scholarly brother Matthew (Sky Hirschkron). This she details in exhaustive voiceovers that make up a hefty proportion of the script.Hmmm. There are siblings who grow up together and grow into a happy, lifelong, spousal love with each other, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'd like to see them get a respectful treatment at the cinema.
Matthew is fully aware of the situation -- as Jackie puts it, the duo have always had an "unspoken agreement that we belonged to each other" -- but has no urge to reciprocate, the pair living in their own little world thanks to their mother's benign neglect. Matters come to a head when Matthew departs for college, sending Jackie into such a crisis that she ends up in therapy -- at the picture's halfway stage, this being the first time that we actually learn the protagonist's name. Former Los Angeles Reader reviewer Sallitt, whose two previous outings (1998's Honeymoon and 2004's All the Ships at Sea) were generally liked by the few who saw them, thus signals that therapy is the first step of Jackie moving away from her fixation on Matthew and coming to terms with her own identity as an adult. Indeed, by the end his picture feels a little too much like a slightly pat advertisement for the benefits of psychiatry.
A man who initially was accused of child rape agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor incest and may be released from prison next week.There's an enormous difference between rape, and child rape at that, and consensual sex with an adult.
Felip Mafnas, 44, is willing to admit he had sex with a consenting adult relative, but there is no evidence that he sexually assaulted the girl when she was a teenager, said Public Defender Richard Dirkx.
The plea offer was approved by prosecutors -- who have agreed to dismiss all rape charges in this case -- and Superior Court of Guam Judge Anita Sukola said she planned to accept the plea.Consensual sex should not be a crime, nor should it mean ending up on a sex offender registry.
Sukola nearly signed off on the deal yesterday, but delayed the plea hearing so attorneys had more time to research if Mafnas should be listed on the sex offender registry.
A judge handed a 53-year-old woman and her 35-year-old son probation for incest Thursday after the pair admitted to a sordid tryst, witnessed by her daughter and his sister at her father's deathbed.Sordid? Clutch the pearls! What is sordid about people who love each other being affectionate with each other?
On May 14, 2010, she was visiting her dying father's apartment along with her mother and brother. They'd been drinking.Why did the authorities need to be involved?
She stepped onto a balcony to smoke and happened to look through a window into a bedroom.
She saw her brother having sex with her mother, whose skirt was hiked up around her waist.
Disgusted, she banged on the window. Her brother looked up with an expression of shock and embarrassment.
Successful polygamy is all about ensuring that you can follow through on all of your promises and never over promise but always go the extra mile to exceed your wives' expectation.This is good advice for any committed relationship.
Well at first glance incest would mean an abnormal sexual relationship between two family members. But that is a label society puts on it. To me it means an extreme commitment of unconditional love for each other. It's a love born out of growing up together and giving yourself body and soul to each other at a very young age. the closeness and comfort you feel with one another is like no other. You do become as one cause you are as one you know everything about each other you have no secrets form each other...To me it is the perfect relationship the sex is more intimate than you can imagine.In a different message, she wrote...
My feelings have always been very clear about consensual incest, i see no problem with it at all...She is an attractive girl-next-door type. Another woman who is also attractive and in a relationship with her brother wrote...
For myself i've been involved with my brother since i was 14, we've lived together for the last going on 12 years, (im 30, he's 29)
Actually we lead a very normal life, if i lived next door to you, you would never guess i was involved in incest...
A mother and adult son who were caught having sex in the Ottawa apartment of the dying husband and father were sentenced to probation Thursday.At least it was only probation, but charges should never have been filed in the first place. This was a private matter that didn't hurt or involve anyone else.
The incest came to light when the then 52-year-old woman and her then 32-year-old were spotted through a window by the woman’s daughter and the man’s older sister after she showed up to visit her terminally ill father on May 14, 2010 in his Murray Street apartment.
The jury in the trial of a man accused of raping his 65-year-old mother on Mothers Day has been told they can find him not guilty of rape but guilty of incest.Consensual incest between adults shouldn't be a crime. It if wasn't consensual, it was rape.
Of course, assimilation into an institution also means assimilation into a particular notion of what's normative and acceptable. Enter: The "Just Like You!" Plea. At the end of the day, inclusion still conforms to a perceived norm, and in doing so, marginalizes other preferences, experiences, and expressions. People in gay relationships (not queer! that's a bad word) just want to buy a house with a picket fence and have 2.5 kids like their mythical heterosexual brothers and sisters. They just want to "raise a family" and take turns walking the dog and emulate the anachronistic norm of patriarchal, economically productive homes. Right? ... No? Okay, so in that case, can we stop pretending like everyone is the same? (And while we're at it can we stop pretending as though "opposite" and "same" sex are in any way accurate or adequate?) Progressive legislation and equal recognition need not be rallied for on the grounds that all LGBTQ couples are wealthy, white, able-bodied, cis male monogatrons who are "just like you, but gay." Challenging this homo-normative narrative entails acknowledging that the hetero-normative illusion it claims to be "just like" is also a fallacy and furthermore unnecessary as a means for comparison. Do we all have to identify as straight, gay or lesbian, or perform an intelligible gender, or be in "incredibly committed monogamous relationships" to deserve the multiple economic and legal privileges currently provided through marriage?It is definitely something to think about. Some same-gender relationships are monogamous and quite vanilla and socially conservative. Others are polyamorous or otherwise different than what you're likely to see in some image of a "perfect family" the Southern Baptists or LDS might publish in official literature. We don't insist that gays and lesbians be treated equally because of how much they may be like "traditional" heterosexual couples. We insist that LGBT people be treated equally because they are people.
