Brother and Sister, and Lovers (1 Viewer)

[CSI: CRIMES ™]

Rachel and Shawn’s love story sounds like something out of a fairy tale. They say it was love at first sight when they met almost eight years ago, and they have lived together as a happy couple ever since. But there is one crucial difference that sets Rachel and Shawn apart. They are part of a phenomenon known as genetic sexual attraction, or GSA.

Psychotherapist Joe Soll says that, “genetic attraction is an attraction between two people who’ve been separated … seeing someone they’ve missed all their life, all the emotion of that loss, sometimes turns into a sexual relationship.” You see, Rachel and Shawn are half brother and sister.

Rachel and Shawn — who didn’t want their real names or where they lived revealed — were born only 28 days apart, from mothers who were pregnant by the same man. Despite having the same father, the two never met until they sought each other out at the age of 27. Rachel believes growing up separately is key to understanding their love.

“Had we grown up together as siblings, as children,” Rachel says, “this would have not existed.”

Regardless, they know they are breaking a social taboo, and they say they understand why people might call it incestuous.

“We are related,” Rachel says. “We’re not going to deny that.”

‘It’s Like Kissing Myself’

Rachel and Shawn insist they are just like any other couple.

“I’m a normal guy,” Shawn says. “I’m in fantasy football, I fish, I do everything that they do. I’m a normal person.”

Rachel says they go to work, eat dinner, watch TV and go to sleep just like other couples. And just like other couples, they have an intimate relationship as well. But unlike everyone else, they believe their attraction is actually heightened by their genetic similarities.

"Oh look we have the same nose. And you have that spot down there aswell? wow we must be related or something"

So what's the problem?

 

[Serius]

inbreeding isnt always genetically bad, but it is a social taboo and for good reason. If everyone started fucking their relatives having a 'breakup' would be really awkward and then you have to deal with a messed up family aswell.

Who the hell is attracted to people like themselves anyways? my family annoys the shit out of me! i always thought opposites attracted. Looks like rachael and shawn have fucked up magnets.

 

[lengy]

If they didn't know they were family, then so what. If they grew up together that's a whole nother story.

 

[glitter burns]

That's gross.
Hope they don't procreate... with each other at least.

Why? It's no more dangerous that if two downers were to get it on.
