INCEST SEX

INCEST SEX : Everyone should hate it.

            Nowadays the incest means having sexual relations with kith and kin is socially and legally banned. Brother-sister, father-daughter, mother-son cannot marry. However, if they have sexual relations then it is a social crime.

            There is a scientific reason to avoid the incest. That is the children born out of such relations are prone to be weak, ill and not so smart mentally. The law of polarization in flowers applies here also. That is why the society has banned the bad system of incest and termed it as an illicit relation.

            However, marrying a maternal uncle's daughter or sister's daughter is common particularly in India.

            As such the history of incest is quite interesting and knowledgeable.

            In ancient India there was matriarch social system. It has been proved by many historians. Nowadays we see patriarch social system. It means father is the head of the family. Family decisions, hierarchy and allied powers lye with the father and they pass towards the son. Contradictory to this if the family rights lye with the mother and transferred to the daughter means matriarch system.

            When the aborigine man started to live in clans at that time the size of the clan was counted. If the clan was big means it could able to face any disaster and better for collection of food. Therefore, to increase the size of the clan was the main objective of the woman (mother) of the clan. Naturally the mother of the clan who was having maximum children was named as the leader of the clan. Men were subordinates in these clans. In such society there was no family system like today. Nor there were any relations like father, husband, brother or sister. The notions of these relations were not known to the aborigine man.

            Such a society was called Arsha society. In this society there was freedom of group marriage or sexual relationship among men and women. And therefore, mother was a naturally the superior member of the clan. With consent anybody could have sex with anybody. Such was the free and liberal time was that.

            In our Puranas such Arsha systems have been reflected. In Mahabharata, in the 66^th adhyaya of Adiparva, it has been said that Daksha Prajapati had children from his own sister. In other words at that time there was no family system. In the second Adhyaya of Harivansha daughter of Vashishta Prajapati after attaining maturity marries him.

            If a daughter begets a child while staying in father's house, she was called 'kanin'. These are the stories of prior to the advent of patriarch system.

            One more example of the Mahabharata is that in 40 to 46 Adhyaya of Karnaparva Karna tells Shalya that in Madradesha father, son, mother, mother-in-law, father-in-law, maternal uncle, aunty, son-in-law, sister, brother, grandson, friends, guests, servants, maids etc. all indulge in sexual activities. In this country women with their consent could have sexual intercourse with men they like. For that they need no introduction also.

            Apart from the incest in such an Arsha society the intercourse in open, public places was common. It was legal, ethical. That was why nobody felt taboo about it. For example, the temples in Khajuraho, Ajanta-Ellora or similar other temples/caves in India can be quoted.

            Similarly there was a mention of Brahma, who had a relation with his daughter. Yami, sister of Yama, the lord seeks sexual pleasure from her brother. The example of Draupadi is well known.

            Like India in other countries and civilizations once upon a time there was practice of incest.

            In the Middle America it was a practice among Red Indians to have sex with one's own daughter. In Borgio clan this system was there, where as in certain royal families the system was quite popular. In the royal family the 'bad blood' should not mix and that was why in ancient Egypt and Iran brother used to marry his sister. First Ahems of Egypt and first Omenhorep had married to their sisters. Cleopatra had married to her brother Ptolemy.

            Born out of such relationship queen Hatsepson had married to her brother. Once upon a time the practice of brother marrying his sister was a popular and common practice In Egypt. After 200 years A.D. the practice of brother marrying his sister was in vogue in Egypt . Most of the marriages were accounted in this category only.

            Among Romans this system was common. First Claudius married to his niece. Lott had married to his daughter and had children. Abraham had incestuous relations with his half-sister. Nahor had married to his cousin sister and Anon had raped his half sister.

            From this it is revealed that among ancient aborigines and civilized people the system of incest prevailed. Mongolian, Russian, Corsicans, Irish, Sayamis, Meeds, Cambodians, American Red Indians, Vedas, Eskimos and Teteens and many more creeds the system of incest prevailed.

            At the same time in many clans, creeds and countries the incest was acceptable. In Fiji Islands or north of Nile in Bogoza territory the incest was acceptable. Celicon people were under impression that with 'such' relation the crops are not grown. Such relations were the cause of the earthquake was the understanding of Galleries people. The Mindanao people in Philippines were of the opinion that such relations cause floods in the rivers, where as such relations causes plague, flood, and draught etc. calamities were the feelings of the natives of Borneo . Till recent times the farmers in France were of the feelings that if such relations occur godly wrath would destroy their crops and cattle where as the Elutes clans of Alaska were of the opinion that the child born out of such relations had tusks like elephant.

            The notion that parents should not have incestuous relations with their children is also ancient. See the incident in the Bible . Because Lot was afraid to in Zoar, he and his two daughters moved up into the hills and lived in a cave. The elder daughter said to her sister, "Our father is getting old, and there are no men in the whole world to marry us so that we can have children by him." That night they gave him wine to drink, and the elder daughter had intercourse with him. But he was so drunk that he didn't know it. The next day the elder daughter said to her sister, "I slept with him last night; now let's make him drunk again tonight, and you sleep with him. Then each of us will have a child by our father." So that night they made him drunk and then younger daughter had intercourse with him. Again he was so drunk that he didn't know it. In this way both of Lot 's daughters became pregnant by their own father.  

From the above incident it was clear that the incest was not permitted and therefore the daughters had to take the help of the wine.

            One more incident would prove the above fact. The Roman emperor Caracula had a beautiful mother. Once mother of Caracula became naked in front of him. Caracula saw the beautiful body of her mother. He said that if the law permits I would like to have you! Then mother said you are the emperor. You can make the law. Thereafter she copulated with her son and became his queen.

            In this incident if law permits is the important. Legally such relation was not permitted.

            Many clans look at the incest with hatred. For example Basago clan from north of Nile were not following the practice. If they found any criminal, they used to give him strict punishment.

            In Australia there are certain primitive clans. Every man joins his father's clan. He never keeps relationship with a woman of the same clan. In few clans men join their mother's clan. There also he never keeps relationship with the woman of the same clan. To marry the woman of a same clan is banned. Such relations were looked down upon with contempt. If a girl found having such relation then her brothers and relatives used to beat her. The criminal would be taken to the leader of the clan and he gets the punishment of beating. That was why illegal children are almost nil in this clan. In certain cases if a couple found committing the sin then they would not only get beating but some times they would be killed also.

            In north Borneo such relationship was seen with contempt. They treat the offence as serious and punishment of hanging was there.

            The most interesting thing about incest is that in the Bible, in the Leviticus 18 the acts of incest have been elaborately narrated.

            The LORD gave the following regulations to Moses. Do not have sexual intercourse with any of your relatives. Do not disgrace your father by having intercourse with your mother. You must not disgrace your own mother. Do not disgrace your father by having intercourse with any of his other wives. Do not have intercourse with your sister or your step sister, whether or not she was brought up in the same house with you. Do not have intercourse with your grand-daughter; that would be a disgrace to you. Do not have intercourse with a half sister; she, too, is your sister. Do not have intercourse with an aunt, whether she is your father's sister or your mother's sister. Do not have intercourse with your uncle's wife; she, too, is your aunt. Do not have intercourse with your daughter-in- law or with your brother's wife. Do not have intercourse with the daughter or grand daughter of a woman with whom you had intercourse; they may be related to you, and that would be incest. Do not take your wife's sister as one of your wives, as long as your wife is living.

            This means that prior to the Bible time in Egypt and Jerusalem and in other Asian countries all these forbidden practices of incest were prevailing. That was why the Lord had to advise Moses.   

            The social scientists and the psychologists found the subject of incest as a challenging. Let us see what the renowned scientists say about this?

            The instinct of incest in man is by birth. When the sexual feelings arouse in the child first it sees at his/her mother/father, brother/sister etc. Many psychologists say that before the society and family system started 'such relationships' got ethical in nature. Every man or woman has got secret attraction towards his/her father/mother, brother/sister. And it is perfectly alright as per biology and psychology.

            Well known psychologist Sigmund Freud writing on incest says?while considering secret feelings of the mind the incest like feeling has a major role to play. This includes attraction towards mother/father/ brother/sister. Such feelings are deeply rooted in the heart. You cannot ignore it.

            Freud further says that we all know that the incest is contemptuous in our society. On this subject many opinions have been expressed. How these relations are banned we all know. For reproduction man and woman get together, but due to incest there is fear of weak generation or destruction of the human race. Few people say that since children are grown up amongst the relatives the feeling of incest does not have aroused. But this does not happen.

            The noted psychologist Havelock Ellis in his book 'Studies of the Psychology of Sex' says?the way brothers and sisters are groomed in the family there is no question of sexual attraction between them. Since childhood they are together there is little chance of getting attracted towards each other. That's why after becoming young also the brother, sister do not feel sexual attraction between them. However, if they are separated for a long time and at the time of reunion there is possibility of getting sexually attracted. Otherwise there is no scope of sexual attraction between them.

            The theory of Havelock Ellis is not tenable because since ancient times the instances of incest are occurring. Even today we read in the news papers that father raped a daughter, brother has incest with sister, mother has sexual relations with her son etc. British judge McCarty once said that in this court of law there are many cases are run where father raped a daughter or brother has sex with mentally retarded sister and the sister become pregnant!

            This is history of incest! As the man became developed, civilized he discarded many unwanted and unsuitable traditions, rites and practices to live on this earth with pleasure and to protect the mankind. Incest is one of such practices. Here man proved that he is different from any other animals on the earth that is true…!!!

And this is truely true…
