An 18-year-old American student had spoken out about her plans to marry her estranged father after he found her on the Internet.
In an anonymous interview with New York Magazine, the teenager revealed that she was conceived at her parents' prom and had been brought up by her mother.
She had limited contact with her biological dad between the ages of three and five but when he tracked her down on Facebook over ten years later, the two began to talk before arranging to meet up.
"He came and hung out all day and then I asked to come spend a week with him — he lived in a small town about 30 minutes away," she said.
"It was so weird and confusing. I was seeing my dad for the first time in forever but it was also like, 'he’s so good-looking'! And then I was like 'What the hell are you thinking? What is wrong with you?'. I saw him as my dad but then also part of me was like 'I’m meeting this guy who I have been talking to over the Internet and really connecting with and I find him attractive'."
Just five nights later, the girl lost her virginity to her father.
The two have now been in a relationship for two years and are planning to marry (although it won't be legally registered) and start a family of their own.
"We discussed whether it was wrong and then we kissed. And then we made out, and then we made love for the first time. That was when I lost my virginity.
"It wasn’t weird at all. It felt so natural. It didn’t even feel taboo. I felt like I had just made love with a man who I’d been with for years. We discussed it before we had sex. I told him I was saving myself for someone who I’d be committed to for the rest of my life. It was important for me to make it clear that if I made love to him he was in a relationship with me. I didn’t regret it at all. I was happy for once in my life. We fell deeply in love."
The girl's mother does not know the nature of her relationship with her father.
However, the pair are planning to move to New Jersey where incest is legal and she will then inform all of her friends and relatives.
"We plan to move to New Jersey where we can be safe under the law, since adult incest isn’t illegal there, and once I’m there I’ll tell everyone. I’ll call my mom and let her know that we are in love and we are having children. If she wants to see her grandkids we’ll send her money and she can drive to see us. Once we are out about it I won’t be comfortable going back to my hometown.
"I just don’t understand why I’m judged for being happy. We are two adults who brought each other out of dark places. People need to research incest and Genetic Sexual Attraction because they don’t get it and I don’t think they understand how often it happens."
