I'm 90% certain my extended family back there is mourning over this... :( It's somewhat tough on me even though I don't live there.

Things like this make me never underestimate the capabilities of humanity to find new outlets of sexuality in this post-postmodern world.

I don't think they're blood related? Also, this wouldn't even be half as "Ew." if the woman was Ellen Burstyn or Helen Mirren etc.

As they're not risking birth defects by using all their own genetic material, I can't get too upset. Just shelve that away in the collection of sexual practices I don't have any interest in.

Yeah...Despite any personal misgivings, there are some things to consider with that story. It seems like a pretty clear-cut case of Genetic Sexual Attraction, although it is unusual for it to be a grandparent/grandson rather than brother/sister or parent/child. Also, they are using a surrogate to create that child. Also, the power dynamic you often see with these sorts of relationships isn't there, as they weren't a part of each others lives until both were consenting adults.

That said, it's still super gross.

I'm not the least bit grossed out, I actually find it rather cute. :shrug:

Okay, maybe not cute, but 'meh'.
"Now, from Nature we obtain abundant information about ourselves, and precious little about others. About the woman you clasp in your arms, can you say with certainty that she does not feign pleasure? About the woman you mistreat, are you quite sure that from abuse she does not derive some obscure and lascivious satisfaction? Let us confine ourselves to simple evidence: through thoughtfulness, gentleness, concern for the feelings of others we saddle our own pleasure with restrictions, and make this sacrifice to obtain a doubtful result." -The Divine Marquis

Is that "genetic sexual attraction" true or just a convenient myth?

I read a very long, detailed article a few years back about a father and daughter who actually met and courted each other before they had any clue that they were related. They ended up getting married, after they'd figured it out. Unfortunately I can't find it now.

However, the "See also" section on the Wiki page is hilarious:

Hmm... heard the rumours today that Germany's Merkel might give a big speech this Friday where supposedly she'll announce they'll go back to the Deutsche Mark and kinda abandon the Euro. Salsa.

I'm not sure what that guy was smoking. The Germans probably want out of the Euro like the English want out of the EU -- but the Enemy Class have tied too much of their prestige to the Project and are letting the real Shock Doctrine play out in this beneficial crisis.
