Introduction
Incest, the carnal relationship between two people related by blood, is thought by many to be the most taboo sort of sexual aberration known to our society. What many fail to realize-or conveniently forget-is that incest is not a law of nature, but a social directive created by man, and only by so-called civilized man at that. There are many primitive societies left on this planet even in this century that still practice what we would call incest, yet in their societies such relationships are thought normal. Why has the sexual union of father and daughter, brother and sister come down to us as such a frightening practice? Well, that's best left to the anthropologists and psychoanalysts, but there is no disguising the fact that it does indeed happen every day.
And not just in the backwoods of the Ozarks. Or in the high-rise of the ghetto. Incest is finally coming out of the closet and into the conversations of polite society. Oh, to be sure, it is a long way from being an accepted custom, but as women become more and more liberated, freed of the roles of delicate porcelain dolls to be treasured and pampered, fathers and brothers and uncles are discovering that many of the old-fashioned reasons for the taboo of incest are becoming archaic and inoperable. And as this happens ... well, at this point we should let the outstanding controversial work of one of our finest writers speak for itself. Perhaps you are frightened of coming face-to-face with something as personal as this. Maybe this book will not change your mind ... or perhaps you will finish it a better person.
In any case, you will never again look at the "crime" of incest with dispassionate eyes!
