The Appeal of Faux-Incest Porn

Sex is for everyone. It’s for people of all different ages, mindsets, and orientations. I think sex can be something that is a special, shared experience between two people or it can be casual and fun with no strings attached. It all depends on the people involved, what their comfort levels and intentions are, and what they expect out of having sex with another person. Sex is natural and wonderful and, I believe, at the center of human experience.

What Exactly Is Fauxcest?

Fauxcest is a large part of the pornography industry because it plays on people’s natural sense of wanting something that is highly “taboo.” Fauxcest – for those of you who may be unfamiliar with the term – is fake incest, and is more commonly step-cest than “biological incest”.

The vast majority of studios clarify that the relationship is a step relationship before any sex happens, and then drop the “step” as sex ensues. Other studios push the envelope and use bio-incest in their plot lines. Either way, no actual incest is occurring because the performers involved are never related, which is why we call it fauxcest and it is huge in our industry. Looking at the record of all the scenes I’ve done, about 1 in 4 involved fauxcest.

Popular Roleplay Scenarios

I’d say that mommy/daughter and daddy/daughter scenarios are most in demand, rather than anything involving a sister, brother, aunt, or uncle. They certainly happen, but they are far less common than parental situations.

Why Fauxcest Is So Popular

The fascination definitely comes from the shock value of the taboo. Cheating on your spouse is very taboo, and for many people, that’s arousing. An even more extreme “no-no” in our society is incest. I believe this is the reason that fauxcest is so appealing for viewers. It often combines infidelity and incest, which gets people off because it’s “not allowed.”

But. Have you ever noticed how in step-dad scenes, they always establish that they are step-daughter and step-dad, but then, throughout the rest of the scene, the female talent is calling him “Daddy”? Realistically, I think people get off on incest, but because the thought of actually fucking a family member is so cringe-worthy for a lot of people, step-cest in porn allows people to fantasize about it without feeling icky.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that viewers of fauxcest subconsciously want to have sex with family members, or anything like that. What I am saying is that when something is forbidden, it peaks a person’s interest. Much in the same way that telling someone not to push a red button makes them want to push that button, telling someone that some parts of sexuality aren’t okay, makes them all the more curious, which is why there is such a huge fascination with fauxcest in my opinion.

Personal Favorite Fauxcest Scenarios

One of my personal favorite fauxcest scenarios is the daddy sneaking into his step-daughter’s room early in the morning while she sleeps. Every morning, he wakes her up for school and fucks her before anyone else in the house has woken up.

Another fun scenario is a sister/step-sister thing. I like thinking that the two girls have known each other for years, having been classmates since middle school. They grew up together and never really got along. Then, their parents got married and they were forced to hang out. During one of their hang-outs, they start opening up to one another. One of the girls admits she’s always wanted to have sex with a girl, and the other girl has had similar feelings. From that point on, the girls start secretly dating, always fucking when their parents aren’t home or late at night when they won’t get caught.
