Another interesting term that has been proposed is the term "neocest" (new chastity, as opposed to incest = unchaste) for a consensual, loving sexual relationship between for e.g. siblings.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that term was kind of floating around before Full Marriage Equality came up with "consanguinamory". One advantage of "consanguinamory" is that it sounds nothing like "incest", and unfortunately "neocest" still has that "-cest" root in there. Additionally, I just don't like all of these weird cultural hold-overs from pre-information age sexual mores. "Consanguinamory" is about love, but "neocest" is about chastity. Either way, even if "consanguinamory" is kind of long and clunky, at this point there's no going back: FME has made "consanguinamory" more widely recognizable than any alternative. This is the word we've got.
