Smells faintly of rancid stilton.
What disturbs me even more is the link in the original post. Who the hell pays for porn? Society should shun those people.

Well America as a nation values individualism
So excess amounts of love in a family may come off as foreign

I'm a member of this site called wankitnow. It's basically some cosplaying POV where hot women are pretending to be your sister
Like there was one video where her laptop broke and "you" said you'd fix it, but only if you could finish on her chest
It's hot, cause she's like pretend reluctant at first, then super in to it
They have a new video every few days
Good shit

Y'all need to read that Reddit AMA about the dude who had like a 3 year relationship with his mother. As in, banging her every day for years during his adolescence. Shit's a riot.

This is weird. I don't get the incestuous vibes that others are getting.

I imagine some people's head might explode if they saw how close a friend of mine is to her brother. You'd honestly think they were a couple at first glance with how they act sometimes.
I remember that thread, and I was one of them. I really don't see the incestuous implications in that commercial. Still find it a bit unsettling that so many apparently do.

I don't either.

It's that sort of like 'See but can't touch' thing that makes it hot. Like how fully dressed women tend to be hot.

But I think you're not considering all taboos. There are some taboos that are not popular porn genres. Saying "incest is popular because it's taboo" is an explanation that implies that something being taboo means it is popular in porn. But I can think of something taboo that isn't popular in porn. For example, it's taboo to have sex with fish. And while I'm sure there are some people who are interested in having sex with fish, incest porn is way more prevalent. So the question is, why is the incest taboo more popular than other taboos?
This is a potential explanation. The hypothesis being that people are interested in all taboos, but incest ones are the easiest to simulate, so those are popular. That the taboo itself isn't the cause, but more its accessibility. If that were the case, how could you test that? I guess you could do it by survey. Ask what taboos people are interested in, without regard to feasibility, and see if it's roughly equal across all taboos. Then you could make the argument that people like all taboos, but gravitate towards the easy ones in porn. But I don't think that's likely. I haven't seen any data, but I'm willing to bet that the incest taboo is more popular than the fish-fucking taboo. I'm betting if you asked people to answer "Would you fuck your sister? Definitely yes, mostly yes, slightly yes, unsure, slightly no, mostly no, definitely no" and also asked "Would you fuck a fish? Definitely yes, mostly yes, slightly yes, unsure, slightly no, mostly no, definitely no" you'd get way more interest in sister fucking than fish fucking.
So why?
I mean, I'm not really interested in either, but I have neither a sister, nor a fish. So I don't really have much experience in this field.

A display of affection between siblings does not mean they want to bone each other. Come on, now.
Huh, that's a thing? Interesting.
Seems like an interesting ama to read.

It's a relatively vanilla taboo kink, that needs very little set up, and requires very little imagination. That's one reason.
Oh, and Game of Thrones helped.

I don't know, I thought that was cute.
If my sister ever gave me that look I'd leave a me shaped hole in the wall.

You will fit in nicely here. Do you have a favorite Mortal Combat character?
Are we sure that it is popular, before we even begin this discussion?
First, this is just one study and over a relatively short period of time. Second, it's given in percentage growth, which can often be misleading. If 2 people were searching for incest porn last week and 5 people are this week, that represents 150% growth in searches. I'm not saying it isn't true, I'm just saying this study isn't very conclusive.
As to the topic at hand; without personally sharing this fetish, I've found a lot of sexual fetishes can be explained as an attraction to wantonness. That is, a man is turned on by a woman who is so sexually aroused that she will do virtually anything to get a penis inside her, including have sex with her brother/son/whatever, or have sex in public, or do it with an animal, or whatever the situation "calls for."
I'm not sure that's the case; it's just a possible explanation, or maybe it's part of a larger explanation. Hopefully someone who has this fetish can share their thoughts.

There was a great thread in /r/samplesize about a month ago dealing with taboos generally, but sexual taboos making up a large part of it.
Of 585 respondents, 22% said they were aroused by the idea of incest , and 11% said they were unsure. Assuming these numbers are generalizable, that's a pretty bid number because it implies that at least a quarter of the population finds the incest erotic.

Well, it's a stretch but this is all I've got:
One way that authors often hook readers on a book premise is by taking something familiar and combining it with something alien/unknown. So for Harry Potter (and countless other kid/teen shows) you take school but make the school/students magical!
In this case, you've got a familial relationship which is easily relatable by most people, but you put a twist on it that is (I think) alien to most actual family relationships - the sexual interaction. This familiar/alien tension combined with its status as a taboo makes it appealing.
I guess. I have a sister and I don't want incest porn.

In psychology and cognitive science, confirmation bias (or confirmatory bias) is a tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions, leading to statistical errors.

Its also totally possible people get off on the idea of incest in OTHER families and not their own.

That's a theory. I also disagree with the notion that only siblings without a brother/sister could get aroused by this. I agree that a brother who has a sister would cringe more at the thought of having relations with a sibling, but if this individual is aroused based on how "taboo" a video is, then watching two other siblings/step siblings have sex may be more arousing for that individual than someone who doesn't have an opposite sex sibling. It would enhance the taboo for that person, if you will. That's my theory
lmao. The line as well as the stare he's giving afterwards is killing me.
Probably because if you have a sister, you NEVER interact like that. "My present is you" would be something I'd hear from my GF.

The only incest porn I like watching is sister-sister, guess I'm kinda fucked up but I'd consider that to be fairly "normal" as far as fetishes go, if that even can be considered a fetish really. Oh well.

Because it's taboo and hot as hell, also you're mostly fantasizing about OTHER families, not your own.
Plenty of guys like the fantasy of taking two sisters home and wouldn't think twice that it might be weird.

EDIT: NVM
It's melodrama'd up in the commercial, sure, but I don't find it to be romantically inclined. I have a little sister, and I don't find it out of place given that.
scenarios like "mom and dad aren't home." Or "your dad and sister aren't home" or "mom died and your brother isn't home."
I have a sister too and we hardly high five each other. It's fine man everyone's relationship with their siblings is different some people don't like each other and others are trying to bang each other in the breakfast nook after a shitty mug of Foldgers, who are we to judge?
Geiger.
Those, those look like the relationships and I aint hearing none of that.
