Re: What about incest?

To take us back to the original question:
the consenting adults of the question do not exist unless:
they are in some post-nuclear fiction
or some fantasy of some other isolation
- ie. shipwrecked brother and sister find love and happiness on uncharted isle.
If they do exist in a society of other adults, one would have to question their social skills if they only able to find sexually attractive partners at their own home address.
It would make a good novel though:
Scenario 1: Middle aged woman assists her much younger, though fully adult, socially inept brother into honing his sexual skills while reaping the benefits of an orgasmic life. They playact at dating. He grows in confidence and begins to date other women with his sister's encouragement. A) Later, she finds that she cannot cope with him venturing out with other females and plots a revenge. or B) He marries a beautiful young woman and his sister goes on with her life and marries a Republican Senator.
Scenario 2: Middle-aged brother, 43, divorced for over ten years, and three years younger sister, also divorced but for less time, five years or so, find themselves living in a two-bedroom apartment in New York. Both have tried and failed at the singles scene so many times that it is no longer a laughing matter. One night he hears her using a vibrator. Some time later, when they are both a little drunk, he asks her about it. She offers to share it. Things happen. They are careful. They are able to live this way for many years.
They never marry.
