The context makes it worse, but I’m just trying to gauge how fucked up normal people would find this, because being raised by this kind of person messed with my calibration.

    It depends on the actual intention but it potentially falls under what is referred to as covert incest, especially if there’s a pattern. It’s not something people talk about a lot but it’s more common than you’d think and it can definitely have a lasting impact.

      How would this be incest? I know most people don’t talk about sex. But some people are more open and talk about this stuff. In your opinion is talking about sex with your children incest?
      I mean I think the op it would be weird but my family just shoved everything down and hides it.

        Covert incest is a fixed term and that’s a common reaction to hearing it for the first time.

        Usually not but if it’s done with hidden motives it sure can be covert incest - which again is a different thing from what the name might lead one to believe.
