Default Re: Family swinging Thoughts

I think we all feel a need to keep swinging and pregnancy separate. Few folks would want to have a child with someone to whom they were not married, related or not.

The idea that interbreeding causes problems in the offspring originated in Europe when royalty often married cousins in order to consolidate power within the family. In my opinion, if you take a bunch of sick and insane people and breed them with sick and insane people, you're quite likely to get sick and insane people as a result.

I know horses aren't people, but there was a fabulous Thoroughbred stallion named Three Bars who sired fabulous quarterhorses. They bred him back to his own daughters and got, not surprisingly to me, fabulous horses.

Anyway, it'd be a real drag to have kids with each other for reasons other than inbreeding, so y'all have fun but be sensible.
