If you have strong romantic feelings for a family member, then you most certainly are. You may have been feeling bad about having these feelings, you may as though you’re in some way dirty or that you’re a freak or a pervert. I’ve got good news for you, you’re none of those things! You are what you are, a normal person who has feelings towards a family member, and as you will see shortly, you have absolutely nothing to feel ashamed of.
You are a member of an extremely misunderstood and by necessity, secretive minority group. We are persecuted and prosecuted in most countries. We are treated by our own governments as sex offenders alongside rapists and child molesters, and yet we have noting in common with monsters like that. We are persecuted for falling in love with family members. Yet their persecution of us is based upon misinformation.
If this is the first time you’ve encountered a website on the subject, then congratulations, my links section will help to put you in touch with others who think and feel the same way you do. You re not alone any more and you don’t have to go through this on your own. If you’re in a relationship already with your family member, I will congratulate you. Despite all the risks, you’ve both decided to go for it because your love is that strong. If you’re not together, I will still congratulate you for seeking out others who can and will help you to sort out your feelings. The community will be here for help and support.
It can be a very confusing time for people, finding out that they have these feelings, I know from personal experience. There is the inner conflict, being so unsure about whether you’re doing right or wrong in pursuing such a relationship, your heart says yes and your head says no. Which do you follow? Only you can answer that question for yourself.
For some people it can be a passing phase, particularly in pubescent teenagers whose sexual identities are not yet fully formed and their bodies are raging with hormones. Some of these teens may grow up to be consanguinamorous, and others not so, just like it may take time for a youngster to figure out whether they are straight or gay. But if this is a long standing aspect of your sexuality, then the chances are it’s your sexual orientation. This is especially true of us who have experienced both consanguineous and exsanguineous relationships and find that exsanguineous ones lack both depth and intensity because the family bond is missing. If that describes you, then you are consanguinamorous.
You may have come across certain ‘incest sites’ on the Internet which feature pornography and sometimes host forums and chatrooms. I do not recommend these for a few reasons. Firstly, they do not provide any emotional support for people who are really going through these feelings and issues. Secondly, they fetishize our community and attract a crowd of people more interested in spanking the monkey than in helping people who may need genuine advice or support. Thirdly, they give consanguinamorous people a bad image, and it makes us all look like a bunch of perverts, which we’re not. I spent many years wading through this garbage to find answers, I don’t want anyone else to have to do the same. While there are some genuine people on those places, they are very few and far between, and most of the ‘stories’ posted sound like they’ve been lifted from a porn script. The fact that you’ve made it here now and are reading these articles is a good thing, because now you have access to the community network of websites, and you will be able to find others just like yourself easily.
