Why it's gross to kiss your sister

[FartinMowler]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Researchers who wanted to find out why it is not only taboo to kiss your sister, but also disgusting, said on Wednesday they have discovered why in a discovery that challenges some basic tenets of Freudian theory.


The instinct evolved naturally and cannot be taught, John Tooby and Leda Cosmides of the University of California Santa Barbara wrote in their report in the journal Nature.
Spending time in the same household and watching your mother care for your brother or sister is all it takes. This is
all subconscious, of course, reported the researchers, who worked with Debra Lieberman of the University of Hawaii.
"We went in search of a kin detection system because some of the most important theories in evolutionary biology said such a thing should exist," Cosmides said in a telephone interview.
"It should regulate both altruism and incest disgust."
Humans have an inbuilt system that does both, they found.
"This data shows that the degree to which we feel those things is governed by these cues that, for hunter-gatherers, predict whether somebody is a sibling. And it works regardless of your beliefs -- who you are told who your siblings are," she
said.
Cosmides and her colleagues tested 600 volunteers, asking them all sorts of questions jumbled together so they would not know what was being studied.
"We asked them how many favors did you do for this particular sibling in a month. We asked if this sibling needed a kidney, how likely would you be to donate this sibling a kidney."
FORBIDDEN FRUIT
And they asked about all sorts of ethical dilemmas, including questions about sexual relationships with siblings.
Among the volunteers were people who had never shared a home with their siblings -- for instance, full- or half-siblings born 10 or even 20 years apart.
What determined incest disgust and altruism was the same --
how much time an older sibling spent watching his or her mother care for a younger one, or how much time the two spent together in the same household.
"If you co-resided with them for a long time as a child, you'd treat them as you'd treat any full sibling. This seems to
operate non-consciously," Cosmides said.
Especially strong was the effect of watching one's mother care for a younger child. "They would be very altruistic toward
that baby and they'd be grossed out at the idea of sex with that baby as an adult," Cosmides said.
Women are especially sensitive to this, added Cosmides, a cognitive psychologist. "One whiff of possible siblinghood and that's it for you if you are a woman," she said.
The study contradicts the teachings of Sigmund Freud, who described Oedipal urges and conflicts, Cosmides said.
"He thought you are attracted to your relatives and your siblings and parents and it takes the force of culture and society to keep you from committing the incest that is in your heart," she said.
Cosmides said Freud had a possible reason for his own feelings -- he had a wet nurse who cuddled and breastfed him: "Who their brain thinks is mom is different from who they consciously believe is mom. For them it is quite reasonable that they have an attraction to their mothers."

I'm sure Bubba can enlighten us on this subject

I was HOPING this was gonna be a script!

[SKATERMONKEY]

when i was a little boy about 8 or something me and my cousin had a thing for each other she was my first kiss, we did'nt really do much whenever I went to her house I used to like going on her computer. she would keep asking me " do u like me, am i good looking, youre good looking etc etc" then one time she goes have you ever kissed a girl?" and I'm like "yeah of course heaps of times(lie)" and then I kissed her to shut her up and went back on the computer. When I went home I realised I enjoyed it and when I went to her house I didn';t spend as much time on the computer anymore.
But I moved away and never saw her again even to this day.
Looking back on it now it was probably wrong but we were young.
What was even worse was years later I met my sister who i had never met I think i was about 14 and shes a model and travels a lot and when i met her she was wearing a short skirt and a low cut top and i got hard I felt so embarrased I was just praying that none of my family noticed.

i'm quoting this to preserve its memory in time in the event that you edit it

[SKATERMONKEY]

i don't edit my posts I'm too cool for that.

[Emu]

clearly

[SKATERMONKEY]

yeah..

[Grislygus]

I love reading anything that completely disproves Freud, because I heartily dislike the dead old codger.

[SKATERMONKEY]

Freud is a fraud! (Insert laughter here)

(insert my penis into your ass)

(pump vigorously)

[EMajorwitz]

So if you see your sister get her diaper changed you want to nail her later in life? Freud was one sick, twisted individual.

Thankfully, I have no siblings, male or female.

[Chojin]

We're all thankful.

[cestkathryn]

Kissing your sister is gross because SHE IS YOUR SISTER.

See my logic there? It's flawless.

Christ on a Crutch! What the heck, stop harassing me about this. I will make a picture post with me holding a paper with my s/n if I need to.

[Seven Force]

I don't need to reg an alt account just to fuck with you, WHAT. Anybody going against you turns out to be a one-sided beat down than an epic battle of any proportions.

Zero, don't be ashamed, if you fucked your sister/brother, because your mom's a slut.

[Fathom Zero]

You don't know anything, do you?

[Lenor]

Not so much, about you.

[Fathom Zero]

Fuck you in your garbage-ridden uterus.

[Seven Force]

Fuck you in your roid-ridden rectum.

Really, you should get some therapy, quickly, before it spirals out of control, wouldn't want you posting on here, from your padded room, in the psych ward.

[Fathom Zero]

So it's time to play "Let's see how many commas we can fit into a sentence without using semicolons!" eh?

[FartinMowler]

Someday someone will pay me to write those :(

[Lenor]

Eh' sure, I love that game!

Be kind, I've only started getting used to these so called 'commas', it's a slow process, but I'm making progress. ASSHOLE

[cestkathryn]

i hate semicolons.

If evolution is based on mutation, and cousin loving causes mutation.

Wouldn't Arkansas dating encourage the next step in human evolution?

Granted you have a few failures befor a SUPERIOR mutation is born but you have to break a few embryos to make the evolutionary omelet.

i wonder what happened to that cestkathryn person

[executioneer]

inbreeding doesn't "cause mutation", it just causes loads of recessive genes to be expressed (and most of those are for unhealthy traits btw)

it's like sifting thru a catbox, the act of sifting doesn't CREATE more shit but it brings out the shit that was buried underneath the surface

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

like web toes and retardation?

[Sam]

HAHA I BET YOU ARE SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE COURAGE

[Seven Force]

Sam hit it dead on.

Courage doesnt know shit cause he's a fucking know-it-all pretty boy faggot.

[kahljorn]

dawsons creek!

i wish i could somehow make a post with the music from dawsons creek...

open up your eyes or something about friends look outside take a fresh breath of air isn't it ironic i don't know im not good at remembering crappy songs :(

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

Sam hit it dead on.

Courage doesnt know shit cause he's a fucking know-it-all pretty boy faggot.
I thought the pre requisite of a "know-it-all" is that they have to know a bare minimum of Shit.

And although I don't know any Dawsons Creek music I occasionally correspond back and forth with the guy from Remy Zero who wrote the smallville theme.

It's cool that their shared passion for their sister didn't break them apart. I guess.

[Sam]

OH GOD, NOT ONLY DOES HE HAVE AN ASIAN FIANCE BUT HE ALSO KNOWS SOMEONE WHO MADE A MUSIC THEME FOR A TELEVISION SHOW OH MY FUCKING FUCK THIS GUY HAS GOT IT ALL LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING UNLESS YOU ARE LIVING IT LIKE COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG

[gimmidamonii]

People love to dislike Freud because he's popular, like Britney Spears. If he hadn't sold a million copies of "I'm aFreud you wanna f*** your mom (and so do I)" you'd all call him the underground revolutionary.

Seriously though, he broke through to even call on the idea of a subconscious, so don't disrespect.

[executioneer]

i'll disrespect whom i please feces face

[gimmidamonii]

I was with you until the "feces face". I admired your defense of the Constitution's freedom of speech, I thought you were about to get into Jefferson, and instead you called me "feces face". I'm hoping that is a type, and you meant to write "face face".

[executioneer]

get raped, kid

[Perndog]

willie u need 2 b nice 2 the newbz they are the future how would u like it if u came 2 a new forum and got picked on right away?:imock

You are a fucking poet, goddamn.

[MockMeAmadeus]

Poetry or not, I still maintain it is a good thing to kiss your sister, but in a good way.
