Hi, I havent been on this board in a while. Im glad to see that its really grown, and am xcited about jumping back in. I thought about posting this to an existing thread, but due to its length and other factors, I decided to start a new thread. My apologies if Im stepping on anyone.Like others on this board, I think that incest between siblings is more common than ever reported. Speaking from personal experience, my sister and I engaged in sex play for a couple of our adolescent years. I also knew of three other families in our neighborhood that participated in sibling sex play.I also think that while incest has been more common than reported, I think that its instance is also on the rise. I think that many things considered taboo when I was a teen in the seventies arent any longer. We wouldnt consider openly discussing homosexuality, oral sex, masturbation or incest. Todays teens have no such objections.My fifteen-year-old daughter and I are really close. I assure you, there is nothing physical between us. However, we do spend hours having very frank conversations about sex. Shes comfortable expressing the feelings and experiences of her group of friends with me.Her friends openly discuss things that we wouldnt. Masturbation is common lunch conversation. They even have story day where they all bring stories that they download from the Internet. They read them aloud or trade them for reading in class. Anyone not admitting to masturbating is ridiculed. All my daughters friends shave their genitals. They consider it part of their personal grooming. My daughter believes that a hairy bush just isnt natural.She has several close friends that are openly gay, both boys and girls, and shes flattered that several girls have approached her for a little fun. She says that shes a little jealous that the gay kids get more sex than the rest of her friends. She told me that she made out with a girlfriend of hers from school, but it really wasnt for her. She also told me that she and another friend fingered each other on a sleepover because they were horny.Teen pregnancy is down, but sexual activity between teens is way up. My daughter and her friends regularly engage in oral sex, and she admits that one of her favorite activities to have phone sex with her boyfriends.I told that I would always be frank and honest with her if she was with me. Shes asked me numerous questions about my sex life when I was her age. I told her how my sister and I would fool around. She had lots of questions about it, and I explained that several of our friends from our neighborhood also engaged in incest, but we all kept it quiet. To my daughter, the thought of having sex with her little brother disgusts her, but admitted that it was something that others would do.Last week, she said that she was thinking about how her aunt and I used to have sex. She said that she sometimes goes to a website devoted to masturbation for teens. She said that every time that she goes there, some of the discussion centered on siblings engaging in sex play. She related to me that bro/bro and bro/sis discussion is most prevalent, and that every discussion thread involving incest has a lot of interest, mostly positive.She said that some of the stories that her friends bring have incest themes. The consensus is that they are among the hottest stories that they read. She has talked to her friends about it. Her closest friends have brothers that are either much younger or much older than them, and wouldnt consider it, but they are not turned-off by the idea either. She even told me that one friend in particular felt like she was missing out on something really kinky.She also said that her closest friend had a little sex play with her cousin. My daughter brought the theme up with a guy that is in her lunch group, and he admitted that his older sister helps him with dialog when he is engaged in IM sex with girls and that he and his sister sometimes masturbate in front of each other. He told her that its a real turn on watching his sister play with herself.He said that hes also engaged in oral sex with a cousin.Again, I apologize if this is less than appropriate, Im just glad to participate. Im also looking forward to posting about my relationship with my sister.This message has been edited by bayzel (edited November 28, 2006).
