    Honestly tho why are people even mad about stepsiblings banging? They are not related so where is the issue? Is it the social consequences? But people know and have good relationships to their partners parents all the time. Dont let your parents choice in partner hinder your own choice.

      I mean… I always assumed they were step just for legal purposes only, as in some countries it isn’t legal that kind of porn. But honestly never looked into it so maybe is not illegal anywhere.

      I mean it probably depends on what age you became step siblings, it has a very different vibe if you grew up together vs your parents remarried when both are in your late teens

      Either way, I would find it pretty weird. But I guess there’s nothing inherently wrong with it

      Ok, serious answer. Reproduction taken out of the picture, the main issue with incest is relationship dynamics, and the idea that your blood family is a group of people who were fundamental pillars of the development of your personality and identity as you grew up (or you are to them), which means that a sexual or romantic development falling out could shake those pillars at best, or there could be an almost inherently abusive power imbalance at worst. You could find situations where a technically incestuous relationship wouldn’t be a terrible idea (for instance, step siblings related due to half of their parents getting divorced and marrying someone else, who have only met each other after their adult persona already has solid foundations), but it generally almost always is terrible.
