If you are easily offended, not of the required legal age, or 
material of an erotic nature is illegal where you are, then do not
read what follows.


  SUMMARY

This is supposedly a true story.  It begins with a discussion of 
incest: what constitutes incest, why it is considered taboo, and the 
etymological origins of the term.  The narrator then describes how 
she came to enjoy an incestuous relationship with her brother. They 
were in their late teens or early twenties at the time.


  COMMENTARY

This is a very arousing story.  The siblings' reluctance to commit 
incest coupled with their attraction to one another certainly 
contributed to this being a very arousing story.

This is well written, although there are occasional typographic and 
grammatical errors.  The way the story is presented, as true, makes 
me wonder if I am treating it unfairly.  The way it reads, makes me 
want to believe that it could be true.  It isn't the details, but 
rather the manner in which the story is related.  The narrator 
recounts the events in an objective manner.  This left me feeling 
a bit cold.  Don't get me wrong, the story is not completely devoid 
of warmth or emotion but it did feel as though the narrator did not 
want too much emotional content in the story.

Both characters seem realistic.  They take a realistic view of sex, 
discussing the implications of what they end up doing.  Birth control
and sexually transmitted diseases are also conversation topics.  
There is not much to the plot.  This story is about how two siblings 
deal with and feel about their incestuous relationship, more than it 
is about how they ended up sleeping together.  In other words, to 
spell out my sweeping generalization more clearly, the story is 
character driven rather than plot driven.

I enjoyed this story, but more for the sex than for the story.  I 
have given it a Very Good.
