SEBASTIAN: Tell me about your concerns.
GARY: Well, I'm pretty sure it's going to be a disaster.
SEBASTIAN: In what way?
GARY: In what way? In every way. If our parents find out—what a nightmare. If anybody finds out. What is she telling her friends? That's what I worry about. And what are her friends telling her? I'm pretty sure that's where she got the idea in the first place.
SEBASTIAN: So she initiated this.
GARY: Yes. It was during the summer, when she was back from college.
SEBASTIAN: She is nineteen, and you are twenty-three, correct?
GARY: Yes.
SEBASTIAN: Very good. How did she approach you?
GARY: Like a truck. Didn't see it coming. Nothing subtle about her seduction technique.
SEBASTIAN: How did you react?
GARY: I thought it was a trick. Like she was secretly recording me. I wasn't falling for that. But then she backed off and started acting normal. But still talking about sex. Listing the reasons why we should do it. And I was like, she's serious? I thought she lost her mind.
SEBASTIAN: What were the reasons she gave you?
GARY: Oh, I don't know. Something about being curious, being horny. She said she's always liked me. Where did that come from? She's never liked me.
SEBASTIAN: Feelings for siblings can be expressed in confusing ways. How did you respond to her?
GARY: I kicked her out of my apartment. Told her she was crazy. Didn't even want to think about it.
SEBASTIAN: But you thought about it.
GARY: Couldn't stop thinking about it.
SEBASTIAN: You were tempted.
GARY: I have to admit, there's nothing wrong with the way she looks. She has an awesome body. But she's my little sister, I didn't think of her in that way.
SEBASTIAN: But you do now?
GARY: Yes. I guess I do.
SEBASTIAN: What changed your mind?
GARY: I just got worn down. She runs a hard campaign. She kept bringing it up. Like she was obsessed. Little miss incest, I called her. As a joke. But she was so serious. And after a while, I was like, well, maybe? Maybe we should try it? If she wants to do it so bad, what's stopping me?
SEBASTIAN: What is stopping you?
GARY: I don't know. It's so messed up. So, you're an expert in this?
SEBASTIAN: I've been researching adult consensual incest for years. I understand it better than most.
GARY: It's a crazy thing to do, isn't it?
SEBASTIAN: It's unusual, but it happens more than you might think. Incest is a major transgression, but it can be a powerful and positive experience.
GARY: Really?
SEBASTIAN: Absolutely. If you have trust and secrecy, and you have desire and love, a very special relationship is likely to occur.
GARY: I just don't know.
SEBASTIAN: Have you told her what you're feeling?
