Please HELP, I am a young guy and I fell in love with my mom's sister and we both are in love for 2 years, we did everything (kissing, licking, pressing) but not sexual intercourse, is this bad to fall in love or to marry own aunt? This is not a one sided love, we both love each other and can't live without each other, we wanna marry but our family will not allow us to do it, what shall we do?

A reader, anonymous, writes (28 February 2009):

To most of westernized common society, incest relationships of any kind is seen as bad. Most people have a misinformed idea about incest births if any were to ever take place. They believe that incest births create deformed babies. Alas that isn't actually true. The percentage of deformity is about 1% to 3% higher than non-incest births.

Aside from that, as Ms. Rabbit had mentioned, in this sort of scenario, there are unfortunately, more than one person involved. Namely, your mom. Imagine your mom finding out her son has been having an intimate relationship with her sister. Let me think about this: if my daughter is having an intimate relationship with my brother, I wouldn't be able to accept it wholly, but if they insist on continuing this sort of relationship, I would warn them that their relationship is shunned by most of common society and that harm will come to them if anyone else were to find out.

As Ms. Lilly and Ms. Rabbit had said, I would rather advise you to find another non-related girl to fulfill your emotional and physical needs, than to continue with your aunt. Unless you two are willing to move to a secluded part of the country away from prying eyes and ears.

I'm not sure what the law is over there but I'm guessing that marrying your aunt will be illegal. Also, your mother will most likely be shocked and I'm doubting she will be supportive, especially is there is a large age gap too.

I personally don't have any problem with incestuous relationships, if you like your aunt, that's fine. But what's obvious is that your relationship is really not going to work because there are just too many obstacles.

It becomes an issue of practicality. I would suggest forgetting about a relationship with your aunt and find some other girl. You are asking for a world of trouble otherwise.
