Incest. Undoubtedly one of the most well-liked topics in porn, both generally and in adult games. In fact, “Step Mom” was listed as the 7th most searched term in 2021 in “Pornhub’s 2021 Year In Review.” The definition of incest, international incest regulations, and the impact of specific payment processors and websites on the creation of incest-themed games will all be covered in this article.
How Is Incest Defined?
What constitutes incest and what does not have been debated. Is sexual activity with stepfamily truly incest? Adoption, what about it? According to Wikipedia, Incest Porn is:
Human sexual behavior between family members or close relatives is known as incest (/nsst/ IN-sest).
[1][2] This often involves sexual behavior between individuals who are consanguineous (blood relatives), as well as occasionally between those who are connected by affinity (such as through marriage or stepfamilies), adoption, or lineage.
It continues by pointing out how incest has historically been one of the most pervasive cultural taboos. The article also discusses how many contemporary civilizations have laws addressing incestuous relationships; it claims that in those nations where incest is considered illegal, adult consenting incest is viewed as a crime despite having no victims.
Incest Behavior Types
Incest occurs in the real world as well as in roleplaying games and popular pornographic content. There are many different kinds of incestuous relationships in the world. These relationships can be categorized into different “Degrees of Relationships,” of which there are up to 10 degrees. These degrees distinguish between different types of family relationships, usually based on how much DNA the family members involved in a relationship share on average, though there are some exceptions where a lower degree may also share less DNA than a higher degree.
In contrast to a relationship with double first cousins, which is in the fourth degree and shares 25% of DNA, a relationship with a great grandparent, for instance, is in the third degree but only shares, on average, 12.5% of DNA.
The following information, which was taken from the Wikipedia article “Legality of Incest,” illustrates the “Degree of Relationship” within incest.
United States of America: Incest Laws
Due to state-specific rules, the United States operates a little differently from the majority of the rest of the globe. Incest is illegal in all but two states, with the exception of Ohio, where it is only lawful between consenting adults when neither person is a parent (including natural, adoptive and step parents). In Rhode Island and New Jersey, consenting people (18 years of age or older) may engage in incest (16 or over). Each state has its own limits, forbidden partnerships, and penalties—which typically include both jail time and a fine.
Itch.io and Incest
With regards to adult content on itch.io, we have a policy of “allowing all content as long as it’s legal”, but if developers want to get paid for their content, things can go wrong. It can get complicated. He must adhere to the acceptable use policies of his payment processor (either PayPal or Stripe), which seems to allow adult content based on the number of adult games he has on itch.io, but incest Their views on are unclear. Honestly, it’s more like a lottery and can be the unlucky winner who has to change or delete the game.
