Is erotic incest literature considered PORN?

[shabs14]

I would just like to hear as many views as i can about whether erotic literature of this type is considered porn. Its something i have discovered on my OH's phone. I don't know what to think as he says its nothing and just something he was reading cos he was bored and lonely.
But the page he had bookmarked was a story about Mother and Son incest. I felt abit sick really.

Raped? Really? What is it about a particularly horrific crime that leaves girls and women throughout the world traumatised and scarred mentally and physically for life that arouses you?

I appreciate your honesty Kerry.
Although i don't think everyone who has a fantasy believes it to be just that 'a fantasy'. Some do act upon it.

if I thought my DH was getting off on fantasies of shagging his mother, I would swear he had been abducted by aliens/had a mental breakdown

I can quite categorically say I have never had a single thought of fucking my father

killing the man, yes...

however, they do say sex and violence are not too far apart so maybe I am a fucked-up person too

oh come on that's a pretty low blow!
sexual arousal is really complicated and instinctive and is NOT really subject to logic or higher thought.
incest is illegal if you DO it but not if you THINK about...

Er, KerryMumbles, I have fantasised about many things, but never my 'Daddy'. I'm not sure who you hang out with, but I don't know anyone who has ever admitted to sexual fantasies about their own parents!

But it is a bit literal to think that someone googling mother/son stuff is thinking about their mother.
more likely they are aroused by the taboo/forbidden nature of it.
the naughtiness aspect.
just like women fantasising about other women - or about being beaten - or raped - there is something forbidden/exotic/powerful about these fantasies and they are also very common.

I think it isn't that helpful to think about this as vile, really. being shocked and angry doesn't get us much further, i think.

re incest being a common fantasy, there are many examples from "literature"...

Flowers in the Attic
Cement Garden
(as already mentioned)
that film with Brooke Shields on the desert island....
The Other Boleyn Girl

whatever Kerry.. incest = yeuch

I get the taken as you protest by a stranger fantasy, and have lots of dirty thoughts myself . but incest? underage sex? bleurgh

incest in popular culture

I disagree - I think that being shocked, or seeing something as vile is absolutely appropriate in certain cases, and moves society's thinking forward. Otherwise it would be appropriate to fantasise about having sex with children for example, or animals. Or rape.

I have to say i think along the lines of Maisie.

common it may be. very wrong it definitely is. If you think fantasy about incest is wrong then what's your take on fantasy about underage sex. men fantasising about sex with say 10 year olds.. In my book it's the same sort of thing.. question is for kerry and Harpsi.

I meant "if you think it's ok"

some people do think that is appropriate, maisie

sadly

Exactly Willie. I'd also question how common it actually is - given that you can't police thoughts.

I am not sure what you mean by appropriate
sexual fantasies are private, and no one else's business, frankly.
disapproving of them is a bit pointless, and very controlling in a relationship.
If I was in a relationship with someone and they tried to control what went on in my head, I would consider that they had a huge problem.
But attempting to judge, to control someone you aren't in a relationship with, to seek to decide whether someone's fantasies are appropriate - well that is beyond belief, really. None of your business.
Trying to control thoughts is not moving society forward. It is attempting (pointlessly) to move it backwards.

fucking hell

sometimes ignorance is bliss

there are some people's heads I would shudder to get inside, tbh

if I think what is ok??
do I think it is OK for a man to think about having sex with a ten year old?
well, I think it is not in the least bit relevant what I think. because it is absolutely none of my business or your business what someone thinks

that's the point.
