Foreword
Most so-called sexual crimes-incest, paedophilia, fellatio, cunnilingus, analism-are the direct result of sexual boredom. They are attempts to enliven a sexual act which has ceased to have meaning to its participants.
The crime comes about by definition of what some people think is good and bad-not because of the ultimate result of the act itself. Sex in its many forms is not unnatural. It is, besides, generally a very private activity. The classifying of sex as a crime when there is no victim is, according to most psychiatrists and psychologists, almost an irrational act by society.
This book is about a "crime" of the above mentioned sort. The characters, frustrated by their own boredom with missionary sex, have turned to an emotionally more exciting and, for them, fulfilling activity: incest and paedophilia.
While it strays some from life, the truth of its theme shines from the pages-the diversity of sexual activity practiced by the members of society has no effect on society itself. Where there is no victim, not even society, there is no crime.
In fact, and this is an oft repeated theme in "sex books," society may benefit because the individuals who experience reduced anxieties and frustrations because of sexual activities become better citizens-not worse.
There is debate on the subject, but evidence seems to indicate that the social edicts making criminals of people engaging in psychologically normal behavior leads to disrespect for the law and, ultimately, criminalization of the individual involved.
Apparently, society has two ways to go. It may either lock most of the people up all of the time in jail-or change the laws which support outworn moral codes and try to direct the energies of its people into useful social directions.
