An
18-year-old woman has given an interview to New York Magazine’s The
Science of Us. In it she details her two year relationship with her
biological father. They are planning to marry this April.
The
phenomenon of genetic sexual attraction (or GSA) is a case family
members are sexually attracted to each
other because of similiarity in
DNA and is more common where close relatives first meet as adults. The
idea is that people are attracted to people who are like them. In some
cases very, very like them. It has been recorded in cases where adopted
children meet their biological parents or adult siblings meet for the
first time.
In the interview, the young woman tells New York
Magazine’s Alexa Tsoulis-Reay about her upbringing, her estrangement
from her father and their reunion.
“I have some memories. He
spoiled me rotten. I had this giant storage tote of Barbie dolls and I
had my own Mary-Kate and Ashley bedroom. It was a little girl’s dream.
We’d sit in the yard blowing bubbles together, and he took me to the zoo
where he bought me a stuffed animal that I kept until I was 16. I ended
up washing it and stupidly put it in the dryer, which melted all its
fur. I remember he gave me a miniature tea set. I still have it. After
the divorce with my mum, my mum left with me and i didnt see him until
12 years later”
After they made contact on Facebook, father and daughter realised that they had quite a bit in common.
“We
chit-chatted online for a few days and found out we were similar. We
shared the same favorite TV shows — The Simpsons and The Big Bang Theory
— and we both love to draw. He came to see me about a week later. You
wouldn’t have believed we hadn’t been around each other for 12 years.
The idea of “getting to know him” seemed strange because we are so much
alike. He came and hung out all day and then I asked to come spend a
week with him”.
During the stay with her father, the pair became
closer. The father was still living with his girlfriend at the time, but
because his daughter was feeling anxious, her father slept on the couch
and she slept on the floor. Things got…hard.
“Sleeping in new
places makes me very anxious so I asked him to stay with me in case I
had one of the terrible nightmares I usually experience. The second
night I had him sleep on the couch again and then the third night I fell
asleep with him on the floor lying on his chest, in his arms. The
fourth night rolled around and we ended up on the floor again. This time
we actually cuddled. When he woke up, we were spooning. I didn’t know
this at the time but later, after we admitted our feelings, he told me
he had had “morning erection” and had gone to fix it.
That night
we were play-wrestling in the room I was going to sleep in and I bit
him. He was wearing a pair of basketball shorts and a tank top and after
I bit him I could see goose bumps pop up from his toes to his
shoulders. Then he pinched my inner thigh and I got goose bumps.
We
stopped and said that we didn’t know what was going on but admitted
that we had strong feelings for each other. 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.
And it was apparently pleasing (argh!)
There’s
a reason I lost my virginity to him — because I’d never felt
comfortable with any other man. It was insanely sensual. It lasted for
about an hour and there was a lot of foreplay. We both had orgasms. We
are so similar, so it’s so easy to sexually please each other. For
example, we both love neck-biting. I’ve never been in a more passionate,
loving, fulfilling situation.
He made sure I wanted to do it. We
both initiated it and he kept asking me if I was okay, not because he
thought I was distressed but because he wanted me to know that we could
stop at any point. It was like any other man and woman having sex after
they had each admitted their feelings.
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
i love him. he is
the man for me and we are moving to New Jersey where it is legal so we
can get married this April”. She concluded
