The man in the article has been a lover
to his own blood sister for 20 whole
years, and it all began when he watched
her undress. There really is no excuse
for perversion, but it is instructive that
his s.exual attraction to his sister was
fueled by her na.kedness.
In an interview with Vice, the man who
used a pseudonym ‘Tom’, said he began
to develop feelings for his sister, Lena at
the onset of puberty.
He said: “I started getting real feelings
for her when we both entered puberty,
She was blossoming. Sometimes I would
watch her getting dressed in her room
and always felt ashamed of myself
afterwards.”
It gets worse.
“I was relieved to find out she felt the
same about me,” said Tom. “We could be
happy together. But of course that was a
kind of utopia. In reality, our love was
a curse—it still is.”
Tom reassured himself that curiosity
about the female body is normal. He
wasn’t attracted to his sister but to
women in general. But his feelings kept
growing stronger. Then, at 17, Lena got
her first real boyfriend. “That was hell
for me,” Tom confesses. “I hated each
one of her boyfriend’s guts. Lena used to
cry because I wouldn’t get on with
them. Today, I know that it was pure
jealousy.”
After a three-year relationship, Lena’s
boyfriend cheated on her. In the middle
of the night she stumbled into Tom’s
bedroom. He was already asleep and
was woken by her sobbing. To console
her, he fetched some wine from the
cellar. After the first glass, came the
second, and then the third in quick
succession. Intoxicated in the moment,
Lena cuddled up to his shoulder.
Tom says: “She looked up at me and
asked why other men can’t be more like
me.”
That’s when it happened; Tom felt sure
that he and Lena were not just siblings.
But before he could make a move, Lena
leaned in and kissed him. Tom pushed
his sister away. “What the hell are we
doing?” he screamed. Lena started to
cry.
The following days were torture for
Tom. Of course they could have just
blamed it on the alcohol, but was it
really a one-off? His thoughts just
wouldn’t leave him alone. He begun to
remember specific situations. “It became
clear to me that Lena and I were always
flirting,” he said. “I always used to take
it as a joke but it couldn’t have been.
All these strange situations suddenly
became crystal clear.”
He now knows that he used to watch
Lena getting dressed because he was
keen on her. He wasn’t just aroused
because she’s a woman, but also because
he had feelings for her.
Lena and Tom have since spoken about
that a lot. Lena’s told Tom that she
would leave her door open on purpose
so that he could observe her. She was
trying to seduce him—yet that only
became clear to her after their kiss. “I
was relieved to find out she felt the
same about me,” said Tom. “We could be
happy together. But of course that was a
kind of utopia. In reality, our love was
a curse—it still is.”
Incest is a taboo as well as a criminal
offence in Austria, where they are
citizens, so they moved to Germany to
continue their abominable relationship.
He’s been in a committed relationship
with his sister for 20 years, and the
couple have a child together. Tom
says:”There’s nothing that I haven’t
heard before. People have called me a
desecrator, sister-fucker, or simply
retarded. And all that’s come out of the
mouths of people who were at one time
my friends. Even if society won’t
recognize us, we exist and there are
more of us than you think.”
People, i think this is a reason why we
should discourage siblings from
undressing in front of each other. I
wasn’t brought up that way, but in this
era of sister/brother fuckers, our values
have to be re-examined and redefined.
