I have a pet hypothesis that, on average, those into step porn are more likely not have grown up with a sibling of the gender they fancy. I reckon those of us who did are more likely to repelled by anything alluding to incest.

People who grew up with ACTUAL hot step siblings notwithstanding.

    I’m pretty sure most consumers of porn are just interested in watching people fuck. The wraparound story isn’t that important. And it certainly isn’t data for some amateur Psych study.

    I mean pizza delivery guys used to be a popular “story”, But I don’t think people were secretly trying to recover from their Oedipus trauma with the help of the Noid.

      Or maybe, people that like the trope of a pizza guy or plumber in porn, do you miss the 80s and 90s?

      A man that brings me pizza, especially with extra sausage, may not automatically be my perfect partner but he’d be pretty up there.

    No, but I am turned on by the idea of a smoking hot woman I am living with showing up randomly in my bed demanding consequence-free sex.

    I remember a post somewhere that suggested the wave of step-sibling porn is because it’s really effective short-hand. You get two characters that know each other and are close, but shouldn’t do anything because of all the fallout that would happen. It’s a quick way to recreate the childhood friend dynamic, but also add a strong taboo and explain why they always hang out in the same house. It also gives a reason why sex can be frequent, but never tie someone into a relationship.

    Sure, there’s a lot of perverts in the world, but there’s also people who enjoy the dynamic of “we really shouldn’t… but…”

      It’s also incredibly cheap to produce, requiring no unusual props or location shooting, and generally tolerable to those who aren’t interested in the kink, so it’s a relatively safe bet economically

        Yeah, coincidentally the majority of “teens” fucking each other seem like they have the best scenes, the girls are into it. Probably because they’re not fucking a 50 year old ugly dude on steroids.

    My friend’s husband left her for his step sister. They (the husband and step sister) now live with their dad. The dad moved out of the master bedroom so they could sleep together during the two-year affair before they were exposed. They became step siblings as children - elementary/ middle school age. They did not grow up in the same house, but did spend weekends and school breaks together. The things that freak me out are – they will share the inheritance when the dad passes – if they break up (Is there a Hallmark card for breaking up with your sister?) who moves out? I realize this has nothing to do with porn. It just shows that some people are fucked up.

        Ohhh. I forgot i had posted this before. You asked the same then and I don’t know what it means. Maybe that’s something from their childhood? Do you know them? Maybe sibling fuckers are more common than i realized.

          It’s a step-whatever motive in the porn videos. Like, step-sister gets stuck in the washing machine for some reason and is subsequently banged in the rear by step-bro while she’s unable to free herself.

          You asked the same then and I don’t know what it means.

          It’s a reference to many step porn scenes where the step sister gets “stuck” in a washing machine, or under a table, or bed. The step bro helps them out usually by fucking them out of where they are stuck.

    I don’t like step sibling porn but it’s a lot of the content. I type in “blonde big tits” or whatever and what comes out is “blonde big tit step sister gets railed” or whatever. I’d click if it was girlfriend or wife instead of step sister the same.

      There are some creators on PornHub and the like that seem to be doing SEO with their titles. One of their videos will refer to the woman as “step sister” the next video will use “roommate” another will use “cheating wife”. None of the videos have any dialogue so I think the channel is just trying to show up in as many search results as possible.

    We’ll see if this is going to be controversial or not but isn’t the entire “step” -part of it there only to give people plausible deniability about incest accusations? It’s incest these people are turned on by. To my knowledge having sex with your step-anything isn’t incest because you two aren’t related.

    Either way, I think that most people who like watching mom-son, brother-sister, dad-daughter etc. porn usually aren’t sexually drawn towards their own family. They just like the idea of sex between family members in general but not their own.

      It’s not REALLY incest that turns them on usually. It’s the deep taboo of the potential act itself. Thus plenty of people are turned on by the thought when it involves others, and plenty more are turned off when it comes to their own family. Similar can be said for a lot of sexually charged taboo subjects.

      But isn’t their fake incest porn anyway? I know it at least used to exist, so I don’t think it’s illegal to make that, so clearly that means that there isn’t a big market for it.

      My theory has always been that it’s a way to trick peoples minds that the actors are younger, because that very much is a thing.

      I don’t know anyone who is attracted to their siblings, even if they are conventionally very attractive.

        If my memory serves, in the early days of free online porn the step-prefix wasn’t generally used. I can dimly remember the time it started appearing all over and I always suspected it was because implying it was actual incest was a bit too taboo so they modified the titles into step-porn so that it’s not as provocative. Maybe advertisers had something to do with it, who knows. Or maybe it’s because they realized that people find it easier to fantasize about step-siblings rather than biological ones.

          You make some good points, there could be a lot of factors… hell it could be that it took a while for the divorce and remarry rate to kick up and before that step siblings simply weren’t as common. There should probably be a good lag too between those numbers and when it started to become a cultural thing.

          I would be interested in some deep research at this point.

    Yeah, stepsister. She’s a raging junkie cunt though, so no attraction from me.

    I’ve actually heard that she got sober and is doing much better, but fuck her I’m no contact forever. And I mean metaphorically fuck her.

    I was an only child and a latchkey kid, and am not just into sibling incest but full on incest. But yes, distilled, my fetish is for a functional, unneglected and much less solitary childhood. (Not turning into a pariah as soon as I started developing sexual interests in puberty might have also been nice.)

    I suppose I also have the V. C. Andrews fetish which is taboo relationships that are formed as a cope due to extreme family dysfunctionality, since part of my fetish is the sex gets out of hand and when discovered, the drama explodes messily.

    Curiously, my family on my mother’s side are hot, and my cousin was propositioned by Playboy in the 1980s as possible centerfold material. (She was also a high-school swim-team champion.) And yet, full Westermarck effect (reverse sexual imprinting) was active. I just couldn’t think about them in that way.

    You should do a poll, if you get enough comment responses to be statistically significant it would be a pain to sort through them. A poll would also make people more likely to respond, as it’s less effort.

    I did. But I never fantasised about actual incest, and certainly not with my family members. But fantasy incest in porn? Defo works for me.

    I think lots of people are very capable of finding stuff hot as a fantasy while having zero interest in the reality. In fact, that’s part of the appeal. If I’m just watching hot people have sex, it just kinda makes me sad I’m not having sex with them. But if I’m watching a kinky scene or something that is taboo because of the relationship of the characters involved, then I can find it hot without being disappointed it isn’t real.

    (and while I think there’s something to your theory, the popularity of stepmom porn suggests it’s not that simple, as most people who watch that probably had a mom)

    I’ve always suspected that there’s some coincidence whereby a lot of people have suddenly started watching some step-sibling porn simply because it’s among the first videos they see and not because they’re into step-siblings, then whoever decides what genre of porn gets made has noticed and assumed it’s suddenly more popular for a reason, so it gets made more often, then there’s a feedback effect.

    Edit: that said, I don’t know what kind of porn anyone I know watches, if any, but I’m sort of vaguley aware of this step-sibling meme.
