Incest pornography

Incest pornography is a genre of pornography involving the depiction of incest. It is illegal in many jurisdictions. For example, in Australia it is rated "Refused Classification" (RC). Despite this, it is widely available on the Internet.

It can be subdivided along several dimensions:

• type of relationship: sibling/sibling incest versus. parent/child incest
• child pornography: incest pornography can either depict incestuous relationships with all partners adults, or it can depict child partners, and thus constitute child pornography

Many feminists and social conservatives argue it encourages the sexual abuse of children and rape, and conservatives see the existence of incest pornography as a sign of the general sexual depravity of a society which has turned away from God's law (the Bible), which clearly condemns incest.

Incest pornography can be produced either by lookalikes, individuals which appear similar in appearance, and thus could pass as related, but are not in fact so, or by actual relatives. Films depicting lesbian sex between identical twins or real-life sisters are usually regarded as mainstream, although they also exploit the theme.
