Summary

 This is supposedly a true story. It begins with a discussion of incest: what constitutes incest, why it is considered taboo, and the etymological origins of the term. The narrator then describes how she came to enjoy an incestuous relationship with her brother. They were in their late teens or early twenties at the time.

Commentary

 This is a very arousing story. The siblings' reluctance to commit incest coupled with their attraction to one another certainly contributed to this being a very arousing story.

This is well written, although there are occasional typographic and grammatical errors. The way the story is presented, as true, makes me wonder if I am treating it unfairly. The way it reads, makes me want to believe that it could be true. It isn't the details, but rather the manner in which the story is related. The narrator recounts the events in an objective manner. This left me feeling a bit cold. Don't get me wrong, the story is not completely devoid of warmth or emotion but it did feel as though the narrator did not want too much emotional content in the story.

Both characters seem realistic. They take a realistic view of sex, discussing the implications of what they end up doing. Birth control and sexually transmitted diseases are also conversation topics. There is not much to the plot. This story is about how two siblings deal with and feel about their incestuous relationship, more than it is about how they ended up sleeping together. In other words, to spell out my sweeping generalization more clearly, the story is character driven rather than plot driven.

I enjoyed this story, but more for the sex than for the story. I have given it a Very Good.
