Not only are the siblings’ parents in the dark about the relationship, but the woman claimed that barely anyone else actually knows.
She claimed that the siblings are “not very open at all” about it and “very few” people are aware, as she continued: “I've told a couple of close friends, he's told exactly one person. At least that's what he tells me.
The Law on Incest in the UK
INCEST refers to sexual activity between close family members, such as siblings, parents and children, or grandparents and grandchildren.
- Criminal Offence: Engaging in sexual activity with a close family member is illegal.
- Close Family Members: Includes siblings (full or half), parents, children, grandparents, and grandchildren.
- Penalties: Those found guilty of incest can face significant legal consequences, including imprisonment.
- Protection and Welfare: The law aims to protect individuals and maintain the integrity of family relationships.
- Consent Irrelevant: Even if both parties consent, it is still considered a criminal offence.
“It's hard to find people to trust with the information, and they tend to react pretty violently when they find out. On a whole it's easier not to be open about it.
“I rarely get a chance to talk about these things, so it's good to get them off my chest.”
When questioned about the ‘type of sex’ the siblings had, the woman got candid: “In retrospect it was fairly basic. We were both young and inexperienced.”

She also confirmed that things started out “innocently”, as she acknowledged: “The first few years were essentially foreplay.”
And it appears that the siblings’ relationship is as complicated as you might imagine, as the woman admitted: “We didn't act exactly as a romantic couple in private, but it was probably more emotional than normal siblinghood.
“It definitely wasn't just about sex, though, we were both very much in love.”
What your sexual fantasies say about you

Raucous Role Play: If your partner enjoys dressing up for fun, it shows creativity and a desire to keep things exciting. However, it might signal that he struggles with responsibility.
Multi-Partner Fantasies: Craving variety doesn't always mean he wants to cheat. However, it could indicate deeper feelings of unfulfillment.
Power & Control: A little dominance is normal, but if it's always about control, it may hide insecurities.
Adventure: Men seeking thrills may push boundaries, so be sure your comfort zone is respected.
Passion: If he’s romantic, he’s emotionally tuned in—though occasionally avoiding tough conversations.
Flexibility: Openness to new experiences is great, but constant novelty-seeking could mean avoiding emotional connection.
Red Flag: If control is his ultimate fantasy, it may signal a deeper struggle with power dynamics.
Whilst incest is an illegal, criminal offence in the UK, the young woman shared: “We never really saw it as something wrong.
“We weren't hurting anybody, in fact our relationship had no impact on anyone other than ourselves.
“I don't know why I should see it as being inherently wrong.”
Not only this, but when asked what made the siblings stop their incestual relationship, the social media user claimed: “We simply grew apart, and just lost that part of our relationship over time.
