It'll definitely be interesting to see how they play out. I tend to agree with God Wyges though. I think a simultaneous relationship like this is stretching the realm of realism just a little bit. I'll withhold judgment until I see the actual product though

Maybe it's related to their disorder. Some kind of identity problem or another. Or maybe one of them is manic and one is depressive. Kind of cliche by now, but always hilarious.

What's the deal with incest anyway? It's just sex, what's the added value of the people being related to each other Image.

Because breaking a taboo is always exciting, sexually or otherwise. The more and the deeper the taboos you break, the more powerful the experience of it is. Incest is not just an extremely powerful social taboo - it's a biological one as well. Few things are thought of as being fundamentally forbidden as it... and that's what makes the thought of breaking it so cathartic.

EDIT: Yes, Hamadyne, I am joking. The thing about taboos is real, though. Or at least that's what I read.

A TL;DR version of the science of inbreeding for the curious: genetic defects occur over numerous generations of incestuous couplings within the same "family tree", almost always as a result of a pre-existing family history.

Thus, siblings without a family history of inbreeding don't really run any more risk of genetic disorders than strangers. Unless there is a family history of a certain disease, of course, at which point it becomes the same problem as non-familial couples who have family histories of that disease. Yay, genetics!

Also, I'd like to end that as far as my research goes to show, lesbian twins have no larger a chance of giving birth to genetically defective babies than regular couples. In fact, some studies suggest that the odds may be significantly lower!

Especially the lesbian part, that would hinder the procreation process, unless we have hermaphrodite sisters.

Yes. That was the joke. Thanks for explaining it, Zarich.

On a sidenote, I'm not entirely against hermaphrodite sisters. Maybe not these ones, though. A doujin, maybe...?

I shall journey to /d/ now to find out more. Wish me luck.

Should you return sane and coherent, though, the rest of us will most assuredly praise you as a Hero for any mangalicious artifacts you might have retrieved.

Ah, my mistake.
Still has some of that 'forbidden via biological imperatives' implication, though. Gloom explains that better.

Agreed. I have high hopes for this route.

Y'know what'd be really awesome? A futa character. Just sayin'.

Beats me. The taboo makes about as much sense as the statutory-rape laws. Of course, this is when the sex doesn't produce offspring.

Shouldn't we say that it's 6.5 routes? I think, that Twins' route will have to split in two at one point, so Twins' route gives 1.5 route.

Nevermind. Six. Routes. Already? This might be epic. :|
