As a teen or young adult, the last thing we want is for our friends or family to see our browser history. Once in our lives, most of us have watched things that could make us cringe in horror. But one thing has been trending for the past few years in the porn industry: incest porn.

You have probably encountered the term Fauxcest in the past. If it is not clear for you, this means fictionalized incest. Characters portray familial roles and develop sexual relationship. We would think that this genre is more popular to men than women, but industry insiders attribute much of its popularity to female viewers.

According to one of the well-known pornography sites, women make up 24% of its U.S. viewers. The less known study about this is what genre of porn are female viewers watching. It is not certainly limited to girl-to-girl action or female-friendly categories. Surprisingly, one of the most popular and controversial themes viewed by women is Fauxcest.

Why the taboo fascination?

It is natural for women to support their stimulation with a bit of a background story, unlike men who are stimulated even just by visual itself. This is why women enjoy romance and erotic novels. Producers and viewers believe that fauxcest films provide the narrative or story that women crave. According to GameLink, it is the seventh most popular category in their site, and roughly 35% of account users are female. Women find it interesting to establish the characters’ foundation first and develop the relationship between the characters throughout the story.

Does this mean that if you watch fauxcest porn, you want actually to date your family members in real life?

This is the current stigma, especially nowadays when people go to prison for sexual abuse among loved ones or children. A more reasonable explanation is that people seek intimacy and belonging. Because family members are naturally close to each other, they are aroused by watching incest porn. It also adds to the excitement that a family member is the most forbidden person to have sexual relations with.

One more logical explanation is that social media depicts these kinds of stories through popular shows. Since programs like Game of Thrones and American Horror Story are readily available to watch in our mobile phones, it gives a chance for people to learn more about it. The popularity of these shows may be one of the reasons why an increasing number of people search about it on the internet. One thing is for sure: the more people watch it, the more producers film it.
