It just happens,
By Sam Shan (China) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Behind Closed Doors in White South America: Incest Survivors Tell Their Stories (Hardcover)
No one can tell what the normal human sexual relations are. We are in a so wierd world where anything might happen. Now people are more tolerant than they were 20 years ago.We have gays, transexual people and many other forms of human sexual or nonsexual behaviors which are recognized by the main stream of the culture.Who knows what the future will hold? Perhaps we may go back to the premitive stage of human life where incest was highly approved of.
