    Maybe they just invented the incest taboo. Now Greg’s childhood crush is forbidden!

      I know this is probably just a joke, but the incest taboo is naturally programmed into our brains. Gay people fucked each other while it was still a societal taboo, something being taboo or illegal is not enough to stop people from doing it when nobody is looking. If it was just society prohibiting it, incest would probably be as common as underage drinking. But it’s not, because we’re naturally hardwired to find it gross.
