Incestophobia- short definition and Index

ncestophobia
Note: In this article 'CIAO' is used to abbreviate 'Consensual Incestuous Adult-Oriented' (person etc.)
'ACI' is sometimes used to abbreviate ' Adult Consensual Incest' , as well as the term ‘Consanguinamory’ perhaps the nicest word of CIAO.
CIAO, is used to save space here, but also, (hopefully) for a better mnemonic effect and possibly one day it may serve the CIAO community as the word ‘gay’

now more or less replaces the slightly insidious and clinical-sounding term ‘homosexual’.


Definitions of incestophobia
noun: an extreme and irrational aversion to adult consensual incest-oriented (CIAO) sexuality, consanguineous relationships or people who want to be in or are

already in a CIAO/ consanguinamorous relationship.
Example:
"Acts of racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, incestophobia, xenophobia or just plain discrimination happen often. We are all taught to discriminate from a

young age, just by watching and listening to those around us, as if by osmosis."

Incestophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward consensual incest adult-oriented (CIAO) sexuality or people who are identified or

perceived as havingt CIAO sexuality. It has been defined as contempt, prejudice, aversion, hatred, disgust or antipathy towards CIAO,people, and may be based

on irrational fear, and is often related to religious beliefs installed by religious education or propaganda.

Incestophobia is observable in critical and hostile behaviour such as discrimination and violence towards others on the basis of their CIAO sexual orientation which

is non-exogamous. Recognized types of incestophobia include institutionalized incestophobia, e.g. religious incestophobia, state-sponsored incestophobia, and

internalized incestophobia, experienced by people who have same-family attractions, (not limited to oedipal attractions) regardless of sexual orientation or gender

identity.
(Note: In theory at least, institutionalized incestophobia (religious incestophobia, and state-sponsored incestophobia, ) may have existed even in Sasanian Persia c.

250-650 A.D. where the state religion Zoroastrianism encouraged consanguineous marriage ('Xwedodah') as 'it ensured that not only the family and its wealth

were intact, but also the religious affiliation of the family remained Zoroastrian.' (p 64 ‘Sasanian Persia - The Rise and Fall of an Empire’ Touraj Daryaee. 2009 I.

B, Taurus publisher. (from J. de Menasce, ‘La Conqete de l'iranisme at la recuperation des mages hellenises,’ Annuaire des l'Ecole Partique des hautes Etudes,

1956-1957. 7 gnoli, op. cit., p.172.
While the state and state religion in Sasanian Persia formally accepted and encouraged consanguineous marriage, other religious groups within the Sasanian Empire,

(Christianity, Judaism and others) apparently did not, and thus may be considered to have been ‘incestophobic’.

Negative attitudes towards identifiable CIAO groups have similar yet specific names: same-sex incestophobia, for example is the intersection of incestophobia and

sexism directed against homosexuals who are CIAO. 'Ageist incestophobia is the intersection of incestophobia and age-ism, where there is intolerance towards

parent-child CIAO where there is an age differential between the adults involved (but not against sibling CIAO).
