There was a lot of attraction and they had sex.
My view? I see nothing wrong with this: no power struggle, no coercion, no risk of malformed children.
Now, as an example of incest, this is a rather rare case, but *morally* I see nothing wrong here.
Not the point.
"Consent" is not the problem.
I am talking about odds of why incest happen. Not that it happens. The odds when incest happen, even between adults, is most likely a result of abuse of either or both when they are younger.
You are speaking of two people who could not have known. I am talking about the larger probability that they do know, and one or the other groom the other to repeat the abuse that happened to them when they were younger.
The ancient Egyptians saw family fucking as a way to protect the bloodline. But back then, the mortality rate was far higher and both boys and girls were expected to reproduce faster and quicker at a young age.
Evolution and human psychology today, are better ways to explain why humans do what they do, good or bad.
I am saying even today, if a mother and son, father and daughter, brother and sister are having sex, EVEN AS ADULTS, the most likely reason TODAY is because abuse happened somewhere in their past prior to having adult critical thinking skills.
