That's actually very interesting. I wasn't aware of this. I guess we can't answer that question. Perhaps scientists should study this behavior among animals, to try and discover why some humans are attracted to their biological relatives?

Would we say it's a type of mental illness, or an attraction one has always lived with, like homosexuality, for example?
By incest erotica, do you mean like videos of biological relations taking part in sexual activity? I steer clear from those videos. I don't believe they are true for a second, and the thought that they may be just...I dunno...it's just a natural thing to be turned off, at least for me it is.

For that he said "No, in fact they should be able to be pretty close physically without any embarrassment". I was never convinced but did not argue with him. Makkede would you like to comment on this?

Hmm...I wonder what physical contact he believes is acceptable? Kissing, hugging? What type of kissing, what type of hugging? Kissing your parents, and hugging them is fine. We all hug and kiss our parents because we love them. I'd be interested in knowing specifics about this.

I'd feel very awkward being around my parents while naked. I think that's just a natural thing. When you're young, you are not so modest, but when you get older, you get embarrassed to be seen naked by parents, siblings. Your nakedness becomes more 'private'.
For someone to be comforatble naked around their parents, they'd have to have a pretty relaxed point of view, and not be humiliated easily.
I myself would find it awkward, but if others wanted to do it, I wouldn't have a problem with it, although the ages of the people involved would be important.
