Should I date my stepbrother?

[Slyph]

I think it's fine.

The problem with dating your step brother is that if it ends badly you will still have to see each other and that might be awkward

That's the only real qualm I'd have with it.

I think the weird thing is that you have to explain that you didn't grow up together repeatedly.

"OH, SO HOW DID YOU MEET?!"

"Oh we're brother and sister"

Dating is out of the question, family bonds etc.
Occasionally sleeping with is fine, No genetic ties and didn't meet until 20 he's just some guy you know.

I don't know if this "Can We Date?" chart has been posted here, before.

It says no if your parents are still married to each other, probably for the reason that Fred mentioned.

You want to date someone you're not genetically related to?  Ick.

Remember kids, you can only ensure the purity of the gene pool through dating blood relatives.  If Ancient Egyptian Royalty taught us nothing else, it taught us this.

Hm.  No "squick" emote.  Maybe this...

One of my best friends was in a relationship with a girl whose parents were in jail.

They broke up. But she remained friends with the family.

Later, the girl desperately needed insurance, so my buddy's mom adopted her (even though she was 19 at the time).

Later, my buddy was banging his sister.

That's really only the tip of the iceberg as to how Jerry Springer that particular situation got, but yo, that shit really happens!


My buddy came home one day and found his mom and his adopted sister / ex girlfriend had gone through his stuff and found some VHS tapes. It was some dirty-ass porn. So when he came home, they were sitting on the couch, watching his porn together and laughing.

He said it was one of the most disturbing moments of his entire life.

OK JUST KIDDING.

But it has crossed my mind more than once that he is hot hot hot and it always makes me a little uncomfortable to even have that thought. But then I was thinking, what would be the social ramifications of dating a stepsibling? It's not like we were raised together; I didn't even meet him until I was 20. So, it's not actually technically incest. So, why does it still seem so weird to think about it?

I don't have any step-siblings so this is just conjecture, but if I had a hot stepbrother that I didn't meet until I was 20, I don't think I'd feel any familial connection to him and probably wouldn't hesitate to date him.

I didn't at first, but that was 20 years ago... the conditioning of thinking of him as my "stepbrother" and not "a hot guy my dad knows" is pretty entrenched now. It's funny though; if it was my dad's girlfriend's son, it wouldn't even be an issue. It's purely psychological.

Yeah if you've known him with the title of "stepbrother" for 20 years now, I can see where that mental connection to him as family has been made.

Off topic - I've seen pics of you and definitely did not think of you as being 40. lol

Haha, thanks!

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

I say no, it's too soon for both of you and will only cause problems in the long run.  Unless you see yourself building and maintaing a relationship with this guy?

No, clearly I'm not actually going to date him. But all else aside, I think the only reason it slightly sketches me out to think about it is the word "stepbrother".

I can understand that.
