I get the impression that the older brother is a bit of a ladies man, and took advantage of the naiveté of his younger sister--precisely why incest is outlawed in many states.
Thoughts?

Sadly we do need laws to protect our culture from abuse. An older brother or sister can force their will on any younger sibling.
However the converse is also true. Two consenting adults, defined as aware of their choices, can have a good and lasting experience with another this way.
Now being aware of that choice is another story. I would speculate that in our culture we are not educated about sex to any degree. It could be because our educators are uninformed. The interpersonal energy exchanges from sex are quite powerful. They do leave a lasting impression and condition a person in very particular ways.
My thoughts are that we need to become better informed so that good and healthy choices are possible.
