Icky and Fascinating
June 12, 2007
Recently, the Guardian had an article about Genetic Sexual Attraction which describes the rather icky happenstance of long-lost brothers/sisters/mothers/fathers making whoopie together.
Incest, in otherwords.
What's interesting is that this "GSA" seems to only occur in genetic relations reared apart. The incest repulsion most of us feel -- porn fantasies aside -- for being intimate with a relation, from what little work has been done, is a behavioral by-product of being raised in close proximity to a close collection of genes.
Research wise, I'm curious to see how this plays out.
Personally? Still icky.
