We are in the 21st century and incest remains a more or less frequent phenomenon, in fact, in some countries it is great. However, not much research is available on this; most of the time, we learn these practices through current events and not expert research.
Although it is taboo for most Western societies, it is still practiced, the most common cases are between parents and girls, Freud received in consultation many patients who recounted incest acts with their parents, real and imaginary. it also occurs between siblings and other family members, and even between mothers and children.
- “In humans there are 1% humans and the rest are.
- Let’s say.
- Animals; this gives them a wide margin of impenetrable territory.
- In the sexual field.
- The human being is the prohibition of incest.
- It has been said and it is true.
- But what about the rest ?? – Alexandre Kojève-.
It is an issue that, in any case, few people want to talk about, in general it is repudiated. However, it does not cease to exist, and to the surprise of some, this does not always correspond to cases of abuse in the strict sense of the word, several testimonies of consensual incest are known, and there are even groups that promote their legalization. in countries like Switzerland.
Science has shown that children who are the result of incestuous relationships are more likely to develop genetic weaknesses. Similar genetic patterns prevent the diversification of hereditary traits. This ultimately puts the species as a whole at risk, as it biologically weakens individuals to survive. , from a genetic point of view, incest is not practical for the human race.
established that incest is a fundamental human impulse. That is, we were born with a predilection for incestuous relations, however, in primitive nomadic communities, where incest is not forbidden, indiscriminate sexual intercourse between all its members results in indiscriminate violence; men, in particular, have used murder within their own. group of parents to maintain sexual access to women.
With the evolution of the family models of exogamy or sexual relations with individuals outside the family group have emerged, thanks to this basic order social organizations have been built where members do not commit suicide systematically, in addition the evolution of the species has been promoted, as well as the existence of culture: societies where there are limits to what is allowed and forbidden; in human relationships, they manage to balance symbolic and not just instinctive factors.
In today’s world there are two types of realities related to incest, on the one hand, the abominable abuse of children in different parts of the world, adults who do not symbolize fatherhood, deceive or intimidate children in their families to meet their needs. sexual desires Often themselves have been mistreated.
On the other hand, there are so-called “consensual incests”. The story of a girl who met her father at the age of 17 is famous and began an affair with him, with the consent of both parties. We also know brothers who have been through the same thing, nephews with uncles and even mothers with children.
The door? The New Day? She recounts the case of a 30-year-old woman who began an emotional relationship with her father in adulthood. One psychologist notes: “She had a relationship with her father for about 10 years. She told me it was a beautiful and fantastic experience, that I had never hurt her and that she hadn’t told anyone because people wouldn’t understand. It had been a secret between them. In the evaluation it was fine, normal ?.
If we look at Freud we would say that culture fails in its symbolic imposition of permits and restrictions, in some human beings the animal of the nomadic community triumphs and the concept of society fails, this gives a lot of tissue to the manga But one thing must be clarified: the sexual relationship between an adult and a child is a perversion, in all circumstances , and if the child is a family member, the consequences in his psychological life are even more harmful. direction that should never be crossed.
