For the sake of argument, though, let's define "relative" as 1st cousin, and closer. Now...does nature build in an Ick Factor, to keep us from nailing our own sisters, mothers, aunt's, and 1st cousins? Hell, let's even remove 1st cousins from the equation (just in case there are West Virginians participating.  J/K) Is there a programed Ick Factor there? Or is it another learned response? |
Thank you for making my point for me. The Ick Factor is mobile. In West Virginia, the Ick Factor will not include first cousins (to continue the joke) but it would in Chicago. In parts of New Guinea, canibalism wouldn't make the list, but it will pretty much anywhere else. The Ick Factor is completely subjective and depends on the culture and experiences of the individual saying "ick".
Let's say that in early youth and adolence you hung around with a bookmobile-driving Chicken Fucker (to blatantly steal from South Park). If the only sexual outlet you ever saw involved a guy in a rainbow suit making sweet love to a chicken, well, you're probably going to grow up thinking fondly of the clucks of love. Sorry, I'm just trying to make a point.
