Human sexuality

Incest, "The Game the Whole Family Can Play", is the activity of having sex with your close relatives and the only known point on which Christian fundamentalists and rational geneticists agree: Do Not Do This.[1]

There's nothing wrong with incest - as long as it's kept in the family - but the biological result of too much incest (if safe sex is not practiced) can be the manifestation of normally rare, recessive, genetic traits with unpleasant consequences. Another result of reproductive incest is that one's family tree starts to look more like a ladder.

Ironically, incest is vital to the development of extreme traits in prized domesticated plants and animals. This is called "line breeding", and it is typically done by mating offspring with their parents. Since a few generations of this can lead to problems as described above, then there is usually an "out breeding" to remix the genes a bit.

Don't forget: There's many a true word spoken incest. (incest → in jest, geddit? It's a pun, or play on words. Oh, forget it then if that's how you feel)

  1. On the other hand Republicans seem not to have much trouble with it, at least when no one is looking, as Tony J. Marino, a Republican candidate for the Oregon state legislature, was convicted of incestuous activities with his daughter, which he apparently did not regret at all. [1]
