Lets Talk about Sex!

Is it normal to have sexual feelings towards the opposite sex in your family?

Dear Concerned,

It is common to have sexual feelings for men and/or women whether they are related to you or not. However, as you know, society shuns such feelings towards your own family member or relative. When you are young and your hormones are going all over the place it is often natural to feel that way. You are learning bout your sexuality and starting to explore your body, and these feelings are probably just a passing phase. One very important note: Definitely DON’T act on your sexual feelings with the opposite sex of your family member.
