To: Hodar; William McKinley
HODAR RESPONDED TO WILLIAM MCKINLEY: "Right to incest? One equates consentual sex between adults to rape of a minor? Sorry, in the other cases, the partner is willing, and has the choice whether to participate or not. In the case of incest, the MINOR is unable to cooperate, as they are entirely dependant upon their rapist for food, shelter, clothing and necessities of life. And that's not mentioning that inconvenient little law about age of legal consent."

According to the Random House Dictionary, incest is defined as: "sexual intercourse between persons so closely related that marriage is legally forbidden." It says nothing about the age or sex of the two parties. Therefore, see my question on #63.

OK, and again. How many times have you heard of 'daddy' and his 13 yr old daughter? Lots? I have. How many times have you heard of Bob and Mary (both adults) doing the same thing? When one hears the word 'incest' one is conditioned to think of the case of child abuse; as it is the predominate case today.

As to adult behavior concerning consentual sex, I see no reason why the law needs to be involved. Where people stick Mr. Winkie is none of yours, or my business. Whether it's done to family members (adult and consentual) prostitution, pologamy or whatnot. It's simply none of our business.
