This Outlook magazine sex survey was published in February, 2022, i.e. just 5 months ago. I was fully aware of this survey, but I purposely did not give reference to it nor posted its link. I was sure what response will be posted, and I had decided to prove that response wrong and illogical.
The 2022 survey shows almost complete reversal of percentage of male and females who indulge in incestuous sex relations; with male at 5.34% and female at 9.56% . In my opinion, the reason for drop in percentage of males involved in incestuous relation is comparatively more degree of lowering of barriers and restrictions for males with respect to sexual relations which has resulted in males having more freedom to indulge in sex outside the family. Comparatively lower degree of removal of restrictions for females, especially in rural areas, seems to have resulted in higher percentage of incestuous relations among females. The other factor can be that almost 51% of incestuous relations are without female consensus, which legally amounts to rape. For reasons known to everyone, particularly when rapist is a family member, such cases are pushed under the carpet.
So, where is the increase in percentage cases that you are talking about? The facts and realities don’t change just because it does not match with your perception.
