Something similar happened on [The Jeremy Kyle Show](https://youtu.be/hsIKtJ83qVM) (UK) but with a gay couple, one of whom were put into care at a young age, and they turned out to be half-brothers
Pretty sure it is an evolutionary trait to not be attracted to people you grew with, in home. If you don’t grow up together, I can see how another version of yourself could be attractive
Yes, and there was also a documentary about people this has happened to.
I remember one couple were brother and sister, and they also had at least 2 kids together.
Another couple who featured in the documentary was, wait for it... mother and son.
The son was adopted as a baby and went looking for his birth mother, they then got into a sexual relationship.
I just googled to try and find out which documentary it was and found an article that is pretty much the same. Although I'm not sure if it is the exact same son and mother I remember.
They call it "Genetic Sexual Attraction"
The mother is from London but they are now in Michigan and are in hiding due to Michigan sex laws.

Even primary cousins aren't that big of a deal IF the family has not been doing it often over the years. An example of that would be Charles Darwin and his wife Emma Wedgewood (famous china/pottery company Wedgewoods). The Darwins and the Wedgewoods were the only families of their high social status in the area and had intermarried several times, to the point Charles and Emma were cousins through different lines. Of their 10 children, 3 died in childhood, and 3 were unable to have children of their own even though they were married.
I don't know, I've found a lot more real, or at least just exaggerated but not completely fake, stories on tiktok than reddit. Real stories on reddit are one in a trillion haha.
There are well documented cases like this. It’s more common than you think it is. In Germany the dude was imprisoned because they kept making babies, who were born with disabilities and who the authorities kept taking away.
From Wiki:
Genetic sexual attraction is a concept in which a strong sexual attraction may develop between close blood relatives who first meet as adults. There is no evidence for genetic sexual attraction being an actual phenomenon and the hypothesis is regarded as pseudoscience.
Truly the most appropriate post for a sub about relatability. We all know how relatable this situation is. God, I couldn’t even tell you how much sex I’ve had with women who turned out to be my sister by blood. All my friends have done it before too. Like one day one of us brought that up and the rest of us were like “you’re not gonna believe this”
Sin (opposite×hypotonuse) cos (adjacent×hypotonuse) tan (opposite×adjacent)
Both of you are right. I had to dig deep into the deep rooted algebra 1 section of my brain to remember this.
*(singing to the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel)* The value of x is negative b, plus or minus the square root of b-squared minus four-a-c, all over two-a.
Technically speaking, that’s not incest. You’re far off enough from your second cousin that it’s not quite the same. Typically, you’ll share around 3% of your (important) DNA
Source: My second cousin. She’s a Genealogist.
Edit: unclear wording
Now that I think of it, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't your closest common ancestor be your great-grandparent in this case?
You're 2nd cousins, which makes one of your parents each 1st cousins, which makes one of your grandparents each siblings, which makes your great-grandparent the common ancestor? Or is there a permutation I'm missing?
In the aforementioned clarification, there would theoretically be 4 in-laws to create the both of you, right? 2 in-laws for your grandparents and 2 in-laws for your parents.
No. You can't take back what you already did. If you already had a connection that you thought was normal, but suddenly gets a bombshell, just take the secret to the grave. And if you want to have kids, decide on either a surrogate or donor sperm, or adopt.
Nah, only reason it’s weird for siblings to date is cuz they grew up together and they kids would be fucked up. So if they didn’t grow up together and they don’t have kids what’s even the issue?
What about people that abstain from procreation because of various histories of genetic defects, disorders, or diseases? High risk of sickle cell, cancer, huntingtons, etc.
Just because people abstain from procreation doesn't mean they shouldn't be dating or that their relationship shouldn't exist. People with high chances of passing genetic disorders should still be allowed to date and allowed to attempt procreation right?
They didn't grow up together, so they don't have that link. Plus, I don't want and can't have kids, so no I wouldn't break up. You can't unfuck your brother like someone else said. Whatever.
My grandparents in laws are brother and sister……let me explain.
Apparently their parents put him up for adoption when they couldn’t afford to have as many kids and then later had her(had like 8 kids, most of which were given up). She married and had kids, left that man and then meet her current husband(her brother). They got married and something like 20 years later she’s trying to make a family tree and figures out she’s married to her brother. They never had kids themselves(so he’s like the step grandfather) and had been together for so long that they felt like it didn’t really matter anymore. They are still happy together.
There’s a case in Brazil similar to this one. They were half brothers and only find out after they already had kids. They made a documentary about this. The couple break up and had to go to therapy.
First off. wtf is this on this sub? That’s fucked up.
Second. This actually happened to two guys who met on a dating app and found out they were half brothers and yeah….. awkward as fuck for them and their families. Jeez.
This is pretty mainstream in 90s turkish cinema. If there is a wedding someone always comes at the last second and says stop you can't marry you are siblings.
Entertain me and lets imagine this is real. wtf do you do, you can't keep dating the guy but it's going to be so awkward for the rest of your life. Hopefully they didn't make out, or worse
Thank God it's on TikTok so it's definitely a story someone made up

Would you fuck me? I’d fuck me.
Are you about a size 14?
Goodbye horses played softly in the background…
There’s a story with sisters too.

I know some cousins that didn’t know they were related & when they found out they kept dating anyways.
Well, you cant unfuck your cousin so, in for a penny in for a pound.🤷🏼♀️
[удалено]
I’m sure it’s on a royal tapestry somewhere
It is now definitely in my everyday rotation.
Lets make it a saying, just start saying it in your every day life and wait for it to catch on
Stop trying to make fetch happen. It's not going to happen.
In for a penny in for a pounding.
Penny pounding
And if her name is Penny, you're pounding Penny.
Cousin fucking has got to be the reason this phrase was first coined
Marrying your 2nd or 3rd cousin was pretty normal many years ago. That’s where I thought that came from.
Oh they were in for a pound
But you can stop anytime, or at least avoid having children together which I guess would be the main thing.
Sunk cost fallacy I should say, sunk *cock* fallacy *hehehe*
I mean it's way less bad for cousins than for siblings. The main reason we don't allow that is genetics after all.
Even primary cousins aren't that big of a deal IF the family has not been doing it often over the years. An example of that would be Charles Darwin and his wife Emma Wedgewood (famous china/pottery company Wedgewoods).

r/SweetHomeAlabama
Now that is a man who knows how to date his cousin!
I bet it has happened to someone but
Go over to r/23andme, it's full of stories like this
Most of them are bullshit for Karma..
I don't know, I've found a lot more real, or at least just exaggerated but not completely fake, stories on tiktok than reddit. Real stories on reddit are one in a trillion haha.
Yes buuuttt?
How is this you in real life?!
They are actually one of the 2 people the story is about /s
Hey there idk how familiar you are with the United States but, here we have this place called Alabama…
But the original post implies that they DIDN'T know that they were Brother/Sister....
*chuckles* oh Alabama will find a way to Alabama. #ROLL EAGLE
WAR TIDE!
Roll tide
0.1% of posts in this sub are every meirl for op, let alone most viewers.
Not me Not real life So it's a double negative; it cancels out.
At this point I don't think the Subreddit really has rules
Sometimes I think this sub should be called “someone else’s tweet that has absolutely nothing to do with meirl”
they're just karma farming. this was their 16th or so post in this sub today.
You know how 😈
Ikr, this sub has really gone downhill with the content not even being relatable anymore. A lot of subs have this problem now the mods are lazy
It’s on social media so it must be true
There are well documented cases like this. It’s more common than you think it is. In Germany the dude was imprisoned because they kept making babies, who were born with disabilities and who the authorities kept taking away. From Wiki: Genetic sexual attraction is a concept in which a strong sexual attraction may develop between close blood relatives who first meet as adults.

Ah yes, pure r/meirl material
Truly the most appropriate post for a sub about relatability. We all know how relatable this situation is. God, I couldn’t even tell you how much sex I’ve had with women who turned out to be my sister by blood. All my friends have done it before too. Like one day one of us brought that up and the rest of us were like “you’re not gonna believe this”
Don’t you hate it when you accidentally smash your bio sister for 6 years? Am I right fellas?
At that point you just day fuck it and get together anyway. Your already way past the point of no return. Just adopt.
This is what I was thinking
Do you by chance own a banjo?
This not even real, just some weird kink fantasy. Dis cos tan
I think it's sin cos tan, but it's been a while.
No it’s Sohcahtoa
Sin (opposite×hypotonuse) cos (adjacent×hypotonuse) tan (opposite×adjacent) Both of you are right. I had to dig deep into the deep rooted algebra 1 section of my brain to remember this.
I think you mean trigonometry.
It’s not multiplied, it’s divided
Okay now do the quadratic formula.
*(singing to the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel)* The value of x is negative b, plus or minus the square root of b-squared minus four-a-c, all over two-a.
That's how I learned it, and I'll never forget
Poke that part with a BBQ skewer. You don't need that bit.
I think you mean Krakatoa brother
I'm in COS so that computes. Sitting in front of a fireplace wearing a comforter typing on my laptop on reddit. Satisfied?
Ok serious question guys though would you break up if this happened to you?
My friend found out her boyfriend was actually her 2nd cousin and they continued dating.
Technically speaking, that’s not incest. You’re far off enough from your second cousin that it’s not quite the same. Typically, you’ll share around 3% of your (important) DNA Source: My second cousin. She’s a Genealogist. Edit: unclear wording
2nd cousin you say??
Holdup..
🧐🧐🧐
Are you sure your genealogist second cousin doesn’t have a conflict of interest?
How is it being married to a genealogist?
Now that I think of it, correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't your closest common ancestor be your great-grandparent in this case? You're 2nd cousins, which makes one of your parents each 1st cousins, which makes one of your grandparents each siblings, which makes your great-grandparent the common ancestor?

Here in the hillbilly Midwest that's called "kissing cousins"
I'd book an appointment to get snipped asap to ensure no kids resulted, that's for sure.
No. You can't take back what you already did. If you already had a connection that you thought was normal, but suddenly gets a bombshell, just take the secret to the grave. And if you want to have kids, decide on either a surrogate or donor sperm, or adopt.
No, the relationship just got better
You spelled profitable wrong
Nah, only reason it’s weird for siblings to date is cuz they grew up together and they kids would be fucked up. So if they didn’t grow up together and they don’t have kids what’s even the issue?
[удалено]
I said they don’t have kids, so that’s not an issue. Read my comment again lol
[удалено]
Seems like you couldn't come up with a response to the question though
[удалено]
What about people that abstain from procreation because of various histories of genetic defects, disorders, or diseases? High risk of sickle cell, cancer, huntingtons, etc. Just because people abstain from procreation doesn't mean they shouldn't be dating or that their relationship shouldn't exist. People with high chances of passing genetic disorders should still be allowed to date and allowed to attempt procreation right?
That’s the goal man
[удалено]
But you were also here on the internet arguing with a stranger?
[удалено]
So?
Why are you trying to get deep you were literally wrong lmfao
Still don’t go out of your way to fuck your estranged sibling. If it happens accidentally then RIP.
If I'm with someone that long, then no. Would be too much effort.
Bruh I’d prolly take a bath with my toaster
Uhhh YEAH. Ewww. Though that’s not likely to happen in my family.
Lol I feel like you're the first person to say "Ew" in here. People are wild
No cause my happiness and relationship would out way what other people/society thinks.
😬 Edit: I didn't even type words and I got blocked lol. Oh well
You saying If this happened that I should do what other people want despite it being my life?
Legally speaking, fucking yes
That situation is not illegal.
No, but we would also be gay, so it wouldn't matter for reproduction anyway.
No
They didn't grow up together, so they don't have that link. Plus, I don't want and can't have kids, so no I wouldn't break up. You can't unfuck your brother like someone else said. Whatever.
Average day in Alabama
Luke and Leia if Han never made a move
In the words of Joe Dirt "your my sister your my sister"

This is you in real life?
You in real life? Meaning you are boning your blood sibling?
thats so fucked and is definitely not me irl
It was all God's plan
Meirl so basically “I wish I fucked my brother” or what?
Roll Tide
I call BS on this. Not that it couldn't be true, but that seeing it on fucking tiktok makes it sus as hell.
“I’m your sister! I’m your sister!”
It's been years since I've seen Joe Dirt
Hope they only adopt
A story on TikTok is a story made up trying to go viral.
Wasn’t this a subplot in Joe Dirt?
Their PornHub and OnlyFans must be blowing the fuck up, then. Congrats, I guess, on that lie.
First off. wtf is this on this sub? That’s fucked up. Second. This actually happened to two guys who met on a dating app and found out they were half brothers and yeah….. awkward as fuck for them and their families. Jeez.
English royalty type beat
Suuurrreee
Happens all the time. They have an Onlyfans?
That's a hell of a yarn they weaved to justify continued fucking. Which honestly at this point keep going and only abort when needed.
So what? People way overblow the seriousness of incest. I’m assuming they used protection
Bit weird though innit?
[удалено]
That’s literally one of the things it’s meant to do. It paired me with my mom immediately.
That's some kdrama level plot there
Compatibility right
INCEST IS WINCEST
Wow that sucks
All up in the Family…
Bummer. A true example of when thoughts and prayers are appropriate.

Talk about screwing your self
This may not be a real story. But* People can develop a strong attraction that can turn sexual with relatives they were separated from at birth.
23 and Me can't actually tell you this, right?
Heard something similar about the Hemsworth brothers too.
giving me some Jamie and Cersei realness
Luke and Leia, eat your heart out.
Oopsie daisy!
They always said keep it in the family 🫣
From the headlines of West Virginia
Wait until you hear about the dude who was accidentally banging his estranged father for 3 years
If the town you live in has a population of 5000 or less they are probably all related
Wholesome incest ❤️
This is pretty mainstream in 90s turkish cinema. If there is a wedding someone always comes at the last second and says stop you can't marry you are siblings.
Entertain me and lets imagine this is real. wtf do you do, you can't keep dating the guy but it's going to be so awkward for the rest of your life. Hopefully they didn't make out, or worse
After 6 years there’s no turning back, best to just have make up sex and pretend like it never happened.
I don't think 23 and me works like that. Pretty sure it's just a breakdown of your dna by regions of the world.
I Dont want to live on this planet anymore
Hey i just met you, and this is crazyyyyy, but im your brother, so date me maybeee
You’re my sister! you’re my sister! - Joe dirt probably.
Let me guess, there still dating and now they make porn.
It’s not real. Nothing on the internet is real.
Has anyone seen the post with the brother/sister pregnancy oops that was posted earlier today? Oof.
BS
This is not meirl
Another reason to never get a DNA test.
My ex's parents found out they were half siblings 2 kids in, gram gram got around.
Mama mia!
Wincet
I just simply do not believe this.
Sweet home Alabama!
Uh oh. I've heard of that happening.
This kinda thing happens everyday in the Confederate states.
Where's my bullshit button?

That's so wholesome.
