Incest pornography

Genre of pornography

Incest pornography is a genre of pornography involving the depiction of sexual activity between relatives. Incest pornography can feature actual relatives, but the main type of this pornography is fauxcest, which features non-related actors to suggest family relationship. This genre includes characters with various levels of kinship, including siblings, first cousins, aunts, uncles, parent(s), offspring, nieces and nephews.[1] In many countries, incest pornography amounts to illegal pornography.

## History and legality[edit]

Arguably the most famous example of the genre is the Taboo film series of the 1980s. The first film in this series, which starred Kay Parker, was released in 1980. [citation needed] It spawned numerous sequels, several of which won adult film awards.

There is a substantial amount of incest pornography on the Internet, leading some to argue it may legitimize or encourage real-life incest.[2][3] Jeffrey Masson has even argued that incest porn is "the very nucleus of pornography -- its prototypical form."[3]

## Twincest and sibcest porn[edit]

Going back at least as far as the Christy twins in the 1970s, depictions of incest, and particularly incest between twins, have been a feature of gay pornography. Though the Christy twins may have been unrelated but similar-looking men and some twins have appeared together in scenes without substantial contact between them, some genuine twins have performed sexual acts on each other.[4] It is illegal in many jurisdictions. For example, in Australia it is rated "Refused Classification" (RC).

The 1999 William Higgins production Double Czech included actual sex between the Bartok twins,[5] as did the 2009 sequel between the Richter twins,[6] though the Bartok brothers were described as "looking utterly mortified" in their scene.[4] Not so for another pair of Czech twins, Elijah and Milo Peters, who work together condomless for both oral and anal sex for studio Bel Ami.[4] As of 2010, they were reported to live together as a monogamous couple outside of their porn careers and want to continue working together for another 50 years.[4] Some scenes with the Peters twins together have needed to be re-edited in order to gain approval from film classification censors for distribution in markets including the United Kingdom and the United States.[7]

## Fauxcest[edit]

Fauxcest refers to pornographic or erotic depictions of incest by actors who are merely pretending to be related but in actuality have no biological relation.[8] The term "fauxcest" is a portmanteau of "faux" and "incest", sometimes transcribed as "faux-incest"[9] and sometimes used interchangeably with "family roleplay" or "fictional incest". Besides women, its primary consumers are couples and millennials.[10][11] According to one pornographic film director, [citation needed]part of the appeal of the fauxcest genre is a desire by porn consumers to view taboo and controversial content. As of 2016, the genre had been growing in popularity at a rate of 1000% since 2011 and 178% since 2014, a spike that some industry professionals have attributed to female porn consumers who largely seek a content that is accompanied by a narrative.[12] Variations of pretend relationships include siblings, mom–son, dad–daughter, step-relatives and various others.[9]

One of the reasons behind a trend towards pseudoincest over actual blood-relation incest within fiction is the bannable nature of consanguineal forms since some publishers will refuse to publish such content.[13]

On GameLink, one in ten purchases had a fauxcestual theme, and one sociologist has said the theme has become more mainstream as evidenced by its depiction on fantasy novel and television series such as Game of Thrones.[14] Pseudo-incest fictional books began to increase in popularity in the year 2011.[15] Some self-publishing companies are welcoming towards content that has pseudo-incestual themes.[16]
