Unless they can reproduce, I don't see the issue here.

No inbreeding, no problem
While the medical concerns with incest don't apply here, the stigma of having sexual relations with a relative usually doesn't take such technicalities into account.
Why should the biological stigma matter when the only remaining stigma would have been social?
Homophobia masked as incestphobia (not sure if real word...)
I'm not sure what biological stigma is supposed to mean. Sexual relations between siblings gives most people the ick regardless of technicalities, and that is a social stigma, the only kind of stigma I'm aware of.
I think that's all shit we are taught. In highschool there was a brother and sister in the grade above me that were notoriously very clingy with each other and their parents didn't let them take sex ed because that class needed parental sign off and the bible was the only teacher they needed or some stupid shit. Anyway they were seen fucking in the storage room when extra chairs were needed for an event. People just passed it off as twins stuff before, then after it was twins stuff
Yes, these are social norms, and those are taught.
"Biological stigma" would refer to the effects of having an incestuous child.
"Social stigma" would refer to the sexual relationship between people in a close familial relationship, which is clearly not the case since they had no prior relationship.
Since these men wouldn't fall under either category, what other stigma is there?
I don't think we're using the same definition of stigma.
Stigma is a profound, unfair negative belief or stereotype attached to a person or group, causing shame, social rejection, and discrimination.
I'm having a hard time making any of the stuff you're saying make sense with that definition, and the whole word is inherently social.
The fact is that a lot of people think it's nasty to fuck your brother, and that you should stop fucking him when you realize you're related to him. I see the nuance in this situation, but a lot of people don't, and if they maintain the relationship they will have to deal with those people. It's already hard enough to deal with homophobia without this on top.
I don't understand how you can read that definition and not comprehend my comment. Perhaps you could explain in your own words what the stigma here should be.
The issue is the fact they are brothers is on the front page of the newspaper. Hope that helps
Do you mean that the issue is the fact that they're brothers or that it's been printed in a newspaper with their faces on? Because if they're two consenting adults, they cannot reproduce with one another, and they didn't grow up as siblings, then I too am struggling to see what the issue is, considering that the usual incest-related issues (inbreeding and consent/coercion issues born of familial bonds/hierarchies) are addressed. Seems the only remaining issue is that it's been publicized, meaning they're liable to get shit on by the people for the rest of their lives for something they weren't aware of, had no control over, and hurts no one.
Super irresponsible of them. Their butt babies are going to be deformed.
On the plus side, you cannot get someone pregnant from buttseks. No matter how hard I tried.
You can if you try hard enough, but then there are other complications
Yeah, hemeroids.
Good thing those aren't anything like hemorrhoids
I hope they used protection.
And so what
Anthony?!
Declan?!
Rocky!?
Step brothers?
Random question for the bi fellas here:
Does gay porn online also have a high percentage of "step" family incestuous stuff? Or is that an exclusively straights problem.
It sure does. Step-dads, step-brothers and even step-uncles, as far as the eye can see
Why though?! Who clicks those videos?!
The most frequent porn watchers don't fantasize about meeting new people to have sex with, they fantasize about having sex with someone that's already nearby so they don't have to go anywhere or do anything.
I feel seen. But like, the furry/fursona version. If I catch desires for them, and they commission a lot of art... woof.
Also like, randoms usually don't want to dive straight into kinks like being facefucked in public or written on, put in chastity, and came on before going to dinner. Whereas someone you already have a relationship with is (typically, ime...) much more open to those kinds of ideas. When I'm horny, the least amount of resistance between ravaging someone gagged and begging, the better.
