I met my bio father and his kids. I grew up with two other brothers from my mom's side and I never had a sister in that family. After several weeks, I am now very close to my half sister. She is 33 and I am What troubles me?
I feel strange! I look at her as my sister yet I find her to be very attractive. I dont have that "eeeeewwww" feeling that I would expect to feel. I have no sexual intentions. Yet I feel a sexual attraction and it bugs me!
The more she wants to get to know me, The more I want to hide! Do I have mental problems? A male reader, anonymous , writes 5 September : Though I don't have a sister, I've got first cousins who wouldn't have had to ask twice, so I think I understand it to an extent. I've often wondered how it would be possible to have an attractive young female around and not be aroused.
If it's a relationship you value, I'd be careful about alienating her - i. Does she reciprocate these feelings? Even if so would either of you be cheating on someone else?
You don't want to destroy a perfectly good relationship with someone else over it. This can be seen even in people who are not relatives, but who grow up in the same house: for example, children who are raised together, once adults, do not feel attracted to each other, looking for more distant partners.
They have simply become too familiar, too close, so they feel brotherly love and not a romantic and physical one.
On the other hand, if two children grow up separately, once they see each other again, they can feel that deep connection given by genetics and can interpret it as romantic love there is the feeling that you have found your soulmate because a brother or a sister does not only share common traits but also share something of your being, genetic material and maybe spirit.
There is a certain familiarity, but there is no saturation of stimuli — on the contrary, this familiarity is paradoxically perceived as new and exciting. Brother and sister are instinctively attracted to each other and because there is no saturation of stimuli to kill any trace of physical attraction, they will fall in love with each other romantically and passionately there is that unique connection that exists between any brother and sister, but is doubled by attraction.
When siblings mate, meaning having sexual relationships, perhaps the biggest consequence could be the birth of a child. From co-consanguinity n. The resulting children may have malformations, retardation, Down syndrome, depending on the recessive genes. They can appear from visible organic malformations to some detectable only through investigations. Intimate family relationships is mostly accepted in the adult industry, where it is the most consumed type of adult-content.
However, these relationships — even consensual ones — can have dire long-term consequences. That is why there is little chance that this will ever be accepted as normal or a comfortable topic of discussion. It is an offence for a man to have sexual intercourse with a woman whom he knows to be his grand-daughter, daughter, sister or mother.
It is an offence for a woman of the age of sixteen or over to permit a man whom she knows to be her grandfather, father, brother or son to have sexual intercourse with her by her consent. Speaking of other countries, however, intimate family relationships between parent and child is universally seen as abuse , due to the unequal power dynamics between parent and child that does not allow for informed consent. But the dynamic between the brothers revolves in more turbulent waters, from a legal and ethical point of view.
Although no data on consensual intimate relationships has been collected anywhere in the world, the statistics are quite surprising. In the United States, in the s, it was estimated that between one hundred thousand and one million cases of intimate family relationships occurred annually. The scale of global intimate family relationships varies depending on the numbers you look at — generally due to the very private nature of the phenomenon that prevents accurate data collection — but it is believed that between ten and twenty per cent of the population have intimate family relationships.
In Brazil, the rate ranges from 0. It is actually quite common for brothers and sisters to experiment, but this experimentation tends to happen before they reach puberty in most cases, and it usually does not go farther than the brother and sister trying to understand sexuality through exploration with each other.
Furthermore, brothers and sisters experimenting is more common with cousins rather than with real brother and sister, because of a hypothesis known as the Westermarck impact, which states that people who live together through the formative years may become desensitized to each other in terms of sexual attraction. There has been a rather steep rise in videos about taboo relationships between step sisters or step brothers and experimentation between brothers and sisters or even step fathers and step daughters.
Sexual attraction between people who are related is usually uncommon, but that does not mean that it is uncommon for brothers and sisters to experiment, but it may be possible that it is more common among kin members who are separated at birth, and they may feel sexual attraction towards each other more so than those that have lived together since they were young. Additionally, sometimes brothers and sisters experiment due to them meeting only once in a while, or in cases where the parent is not the same, that is, step brothers and sisters, which is also considered legal in many places, and states in the United States.

A brother might be attracted to his sister because of the simple reason that he is curious about the opposite sex and therefore it is causing him to look towards a source that is familiar and comfortable from which he can learn about it.
In some cases, a brother might also be attracted to his sister because he is hormonal or approaching puberty and he has mistaken a general curiosity and need for sexual release as attraction, which is something that happens even in adults, so it can definitely happen in adolescents. Another possible reason why a brother might be attracted to his sister may be that they have not lived together all their lives, and that makes it easy for them to see each other as virtual strangers rather than people who are related in some way.
An individual might have a physical relationship with their sister as a means of experimentation or understanding sexuality, and these relationships tend to begin around the ages of 9 to 16 because this is the time when they start to discover their sexual organs and sexual feelings. In some cases, a physical relationship between sister and brother or even just two sisters may also come about as a game, and then continue because it seems fun, or it might also continue because the thrill of doing something that is wrong may add to the game, causing it to go on longer than it would otherwise.
You may be attracted to your older sister because you are hormonal and perhaps you are not able to reach out to members of the sex you are attracted to outside of the family, because of social anxiety or other factors, like not being able to leave. There are some other reasons why you might be attracted to your older sister, some of which include:. Whatever the reason for you being attracted to your older sister, it is not something that is totally normal, and you need to talk to somebody about it, especially if it is causing you significant distress.
GSA between half siblings stands for Genetic Sexual Attraction between half siblings, that is, a genetic sexual attraction between people who have either a mother or father in common, but not both. GSA is a description of a rather powerful sexual attraction that occurs when biological relatives like half siblings, or even parent and child, or siblings meet for the first time as adults and expereince attraction towards each other despite sharing genetic material.
GSA between half siblings, siblings, parents and children or even cousins, is a concept that has been around since the s when it was first identified by Barbara Gonyo, who fell madly in love with her son.
Genetic sexual attraction happens when estranged people who share blood relations meet for the first time in their adulthood, which means that they basically meet as strangers who might not even be related. The evolutionary perspective behind GSA in half siblings, siblings or cousins may simply be that nature tries to propel forward the process of procreation, due to which the genetic and biological ties are immediately turned into potential factors for successful progeny.
There have been many instances of GSA between half siblings and real siblings as well, like in this case, where a woman met her long lost brother after 36 years and immediately became attracted to him:. They had dinner after the initial meeting, and after that they had consensual sex, about which she says:.
You might be attracted to family members because you have not been able to get adequate release with people or because you have experienced dysfunctional family ties which have led to a blurring of familial boundaries, leading to a sexualization of family members. We are usually not attracted to family members because we have always lived with them and this desensitizes us to them sexually, and leads to not feeling attraction towards them.
However, there are some cases in which one might be attracted to their family members, one instance may be when they have not always lived with their family members, and therefore they are meeting for the first time after reaching puberty so they see each other as practically strangers. Another instance, which most people may consider much more problematic for various reasons, is when there is a psychological distance between the family members, which may not be as significant as a physical or geographical distance in real life, but it may be just as potent in leading to attraction between family members.
