I am in love with my brother and having sex with him

Question - (23 October 2006) 40 Answers - (Newest, 23 February 2008)
A female , *unnyjoy writes:

I am a freshman at the university this year. This is the second year at the university for my brother Steve. Our parents decided to get us a two bedroom apartment for us to share. We have always gotten along really well and its been great.

Three weeks ago Steve was sitting around one morning in his shorts studying. I was in my panties and bra when I went into the kitchen to fix something to eat. He came in and hugged me from behind and gave me a kiss on the neck. I turned and we were face to face. It was like time stopped. We looked into each others face and than kissed. It was so cool so we kissed again. We began to kiss longer and soon we were making out and pulling each others clothes off. We ended up in my bed together having sex.

We had not planned it but we talked about it and admitted that we had both enjoyed it. Ever since than we have been having sex. We now even sleep in the same bed together. We both love each other in a more special way than ever before.

The problem is that we are keeping it secrete from our friends and family. I would like to just tell everyone but Steve says it is best to just keep it quiet, because they wouldn't understand. I hate keeping this secret from our parents but I know they would be hurt. What should we do? We love each other very much.

good luck to you two i say, try to treat this as a normal relationship and expect that if you have a fall out someone might have to move out.

if you are in love and want to marry, you are ganna have to look at some serious stuff, like moving away from all that you know, even your parents and start a new life, though hopefully you can talk to your parents and be open, though sadly im very doubtfull of this.

as someone who understands medicine i can tell you that, unless you guys are the product of incest, if you wereto have children they will be fine, though if you do go down this road, the doctors will know in an instant and you will have to explain to them as well, but that it is not for along time.

for now just have fun, do what you love, why not go for a trip away at some point to where you have never been and have a date, go to a nice restaurant and hold each others hands in public, maybe wait till there are sopme people around you and lean acrss the table and kiss your brother, see how it feels out in the world.

hope i helped you, if you wanna contact me my email is

I don't think what she's doing is disgusting. Didn't you read her follow-up post below where she said their relationship is based on true love? And that they love and care for each other more than ever before? As far as birth defects, they are not universally true in cases of incest. Not all incest-related births result in birth defects. They are keeping this a secret because they know their relatives will react negatively to their relationship and will not understand.

As long as they both truly love each other, that is all that really matters.

I really do think that this is disgusting. I think it should stop immidietly, without anyone finding out, espically your family and freinds. Incase you arent aware this is against the law, and why do you think this is? Because the goverment dont want it to happen? NO because it is genetically dangerous. What would happen if you got pregnant?This can damage the babies health and if they want children so on and so forth. The whole DNA will be messed up. Talk through it with your sibling, i also think its strange that he doesnt want people to know, quite obviously he knows nothing will come out of it, its just sex, but you need to come to an agreement. And you need to make it stop, before you get hurt and hurt you familys feelings.

Sex between brothers and sisters happens more often than most people would think. As long as you both feel like you love each other and enjoy your relationship, that is all that matters. However, I would NOT tell anyone else about it, because they probably will not understand and will think you are sick or perverted or will otherwise judge you. They also will probably tell others that you wouldn't want to know about it. I definitely also would NOT tell your parents or other family.

If anyone else here has had sex with an opposite-sex sibling, please reply to this post and relay your experience here.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (11 October 2007):

My sister is two years younger than me, and we both went to the same university. The year I graduated, we shared an apartment for the summer months. My sister had a full time job and I was just hanging out until starting graduate school in the fall. During the first week, we were up late drinking and I ended up admitting to my sister that I was depressed because I was still a virgin. As you might guess, her efforts to cheer me up ended up with us having sex. In the morning, we were both embarassed about what had happened, but we were able to talk about what this meant for us. We both felt that it was a special moment that we would never regret. We recognized that while we loved each other, we were brother and sister and we would eventually have relationships with other people and probably marry and have children. For the rest of the summer, my sister and I became lovers, sleeping in the same bed and sharing our lives in every way. After that summer, I went on to graduate school and my sister continued her univeristy degree. We both missed each other terribly for months, but we accepted that what we had shared was temporary. Eventually we dated other people, married and had families. That was over twenty years ago, and since that time we have occationally had sex or a passionate kiss during a quiet moment. But no one knows that we have a special relationship.

Our experience has been that if you can keep your relationship secret, and you both recognize that it is not going to lead to marriage, then it can work out. We both feel that our relationship has made our marriages stronger, because we have someone with whom we can be completely open when times are bad. Regardless of what people think, there are many things that you absolutely can not say to your husband or wife. With my sister, I have a person I can share intimate details of my life. I know that if I did not have her I probably would have had an affair that would have led to the end of my marriage. Be honest with each other, and you may develop a supportive relationship that fills your life with happiness.

Dear Bunnyjoy:

It sounds like you really are in love with your brother, so you should keep your relationship with each other a secret. Some people will not understand and think what you're doing is disgusting, but I am not one of those people. As long as you both enjoy this relationship, I say keep having it, but like I said, keep it a secret. One thing that may happen is that this relationship might end, like so many other college relationships do, after you leave college and you start seeing other people.

If you are still checking these replies, please update us on where things are with your relationship with your brother.

I am so jealous, my sister and I have flirted all our lives.Most of all I would like to tell her how much I love her and enjoy the wonderful pleasure of being with her. Everything I have read suggest that sister brother sex is the best sex ever, what you have should stay between the two of you. It is no one else's business what two consenting adults do. Most of all enjoy it while it last. No guilt and no shame in what you are doing and don't listen to the judgmental people are the one who cause hate start wars.

Dear Bunnyjoy,

I think you are committing to a beautiful thing, and you should keep doing it if it makes you happy. I think there should be more people like you, who are courageous enough to share such personal experiences.

I am not against incest as long as it is of age, consensual and there is no history of (or current sexual/physical/verbal) abuse.

To those who take a Christian perspective, how did Adam and Eve's children bear children? In the view of Darwin's theory of evolution, how did the first humans procreate? There had to be some sister/brother sex somewhere along the line.

dorfmeistersfan agony auntThis may appear sick and digusting to some, b/c they never been in this situation or may have had their part of a "brain center"-the amygadala, ever challenged in this capacity.

True, it's genetically risky to be having sex with someone who has a similar genetic makeup as yourself due to genes, when they combines during meiosis, have a chance to over express certain genes, giving rise to abnormal appearing siblings. So, becareful of conceiving kids for the sake of this, but as far as sex, as long as noone is making kids here, the sex you're having is probably amazing-SO KEEP IT UP!

However, as far as keeping secrets from parents, this is definitely an unacceptable practice in all parts of humanity in the USA. I know you may love him passionately and hate keeping this a secrete, but you don't have a choice. Don't compromise yourself by making a choice to inform your parents of this..YOU CANNOT-YOU CANNOT TELL THEM THIS EVER-THEY WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND, B/C THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS ACT REGARDLESS OF YOUR FEELINGS, LOVE, AND ACCEPTANCES.......it will break their hearts and soul-UNFORGIVABLE.

Good luck with this, and may your life continue to be happy!

A female reader, vion Namibia +, writes (28 October 2006):

vion agony auntWhat is love? Everyone has an opinion on love, but few are brave enough to define it. To me love is the affinity experienced between two people who are naturally able and willing to tune into one another's emotional, intellectual, and physical states - and respond to them in a nurturing and a stimulating way.

Now why do I come out in support of this woman? Because I too, am involved in a sexual relationship with my brother. We have been sexually active since our early teens and have been living together as husband and wife for nearly twenty years now. We have four beauty children together and out lives together isn't any different from other 'normal' people.

If you feel this is what you want, go for it!

Lemonpixie agony auntOk, you and Steve obviously want to be together, so be it no one can stop it but for the love of your parents NEVER TELL THEM!!!! You're best bet if you want to stay with your brother (which I don't condone but love is love and honestly there are men who beat, abuse and cheat so whose worse?) is to move far far far far away... like another country far. Your parents will just think you guys are living together so they probably won't freak. And when you visit make it look platonic. If gay's in the 50's could pretend to be just roomates so can you guys... but keep it that way!

Astrid agony auntWell I think it is not a good idea to do this again one of u 2 should be reponsible enough to stop it and move to a different flat renta room in your shared falt so u get the money for the other to get away, it is not right what u did consider it a thing that never happened and stay separated for a time you will find any other man who would turn you on as nuch as him and who will make you feel what real things about love go like it is not just a fuck with the first person at hand even if it is your brohter. I am sure lots of men can turn you on as well and you will find them far more interesting than you're brother...

I seriously think you need counselling as soon as possible

A female reader, anonymous, writes (24 October 2006):

i disagree with angelpuss when she says that animals do this sort of thing. because actually, that's not true. even they really don't tend to mate with members of their own litter or 'family' so to speak. anyway, i'm trying to keep an open mind about this issue, and not let society's blatantly negative view of incest bias my thoughts on the matter. but when you look cross-culturally, incest is severely looked down upon EVERYWHERE. even indegineous cultures that are not developed have such negative views on incest. which means that it's become a known fact everywhere, that this sort of attraction is not 'natural' by any means. my point of view, and i'm a psychology major so hopefully my thoughts are somewhat based on facts rather than opinion, is that you should potentially seek counseling. you may not think that there's anything wrong with you or that just because you're attracted to your brother doesn't mean that psychologically you're disturbed. but you may come to learn that this sort of thing is not natural behavior, and that for someone to feel this way towards family members, may indicate that there is something wrong with your attachment style. or something went wrong along the way of your natural development. anyway, that's all i got. that and i guess 'bro's before hoes' is a good motto for you.

Bunnyjoy is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Maybe society says it is wrong but we love each other and care about each other. We have known each other all our lives and have been close and good friends to each other. Now we realized that our feelings are more than just brother sister or as good friends. It has evolved into true love. How can love be wrong? By the answers some people have given I think they might be right and just not say anything at least for now. We use contraceptives so we wont have any children. We know that is dangerous. We figure we already have the same last name so if we go someplace after college to live together they will just assume we are married.

A male reader, soulmasseur +, writes (23 October 2006):

This is not normal at all and is known as incest. Any incestuous relationship, especialy between a sister and a brother, faces social disapproval and condemnation (among "lay men")or is legally a crime in almost any community. It reflects deep, ingraved psychological complexes and an unresolved mental crisis shared by both partner that can be traced back to the past. As you say, you and your brother have been imagining to have a sexual relationship for a long time and I believe this certainly finds roots in your childhood and those early stages of the life. HOw was your relationship before this incidence? Can you think of any signal or invitation from the brother in the past that now you understand with sexual indication? Are you now engaged in any relationship with an outsider? If no, why?

You should sit down seriously and reconsider this situation.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (23 October 2006):

Hi, this is a real hard question and answer beacuse we are all humans to love and sex means that if you both are sexually attrachted or else in love. First what is love for you, something that is in you and cannot describe exactly what it is is a good feeling towards some one else but you cannot expresit alone with out another person and this person has to be the write person for you, saying when to persons doing the same things they love to do together shareing there life between them. So I just tell you something, I have two sisters and never though of these things especially where are grown ups and have our families too. But matters even what kind of life you two have shared maybe you were very closed and loved each other as know one else that's real love Now we come for sex nature is perfect and for the reason of years past every thing came to be modificated for its own use and purpose if you are reaching me the only thing I am trying to say that nature does not know any thing about brothers and sisters since you came for sex there is the problem because if you seeds are mixed so you are endangering whats next maybe yes or maybe no ? If you two for example you go living where nobody knowx you you are just two figures or a couple. May be if some one see you armes round together the say look what a wounderfull and loving couple they are . So now I an coming for an answer for me loving each other is very nice for both but be carefull when having sex becuse it might be harmfull for the others now a days there are many biologiacal test one can do to find more about your semen ok. I know a couple that wheren't brothers or sisters and had a problem of marrying each other because they wheren't no brother's and sister's but for nature they were as and they didn't marry they didn't just said we love each other and don't worry but they did not and left apart. Hoe every thing you do, you just do it good and for your own means. Ciao
