Responding to An Attack

This is a crosspost from this blog's sister Tumblr.

This came in from Anonymous...

Many psychological journals have already discussed the negative effects of incest (even between “consenting adults”),what could possibly be the benefits of sex between relatives? Many of the “positives” I’ve read in your blog seem to be purely anecdotal that we’re supposed to take at face value with no real study/statistics behind it.

Here is how I responded...

It’s interesting that you didn’t list any of those negative effects when it involves consenting adults.

what could possibly be the benefits of sex between relatives?

Virtually all of the benefits of sex between other consenting adults, plus more.

Many of the “positives” I’ve read in your blog seem to be purely anecdotal that we’re supposed to take at face value with no real study/statistics behind it.

I’m a blogger. I’m not in charge of a Sociology department at a university. I engage in observation and questioning, and dialogue with the experienced. If you want to deny the reality I’ve seen for for myself, there won’t be anything I can do to change your mind.

Meanwhile, there are people around you, and people on Tumblr, who know from experience.

I’m sure you can find better things to do than try to make life harder for people who love each other and are strangers to you.

    For the 1st excerpt, I have a response:
    I read many journals and blog posts that uses discredited arguments.

    For the 3rd excerpt, I think here's another response:
    It does happen.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.

If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.

IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
