Yudkin, Marcia

"Vice is nice, but incest is best ... Not that incest is best, exactly, but that it can be good clean fun, as legitimate as masturbation and homosexuality, other forms of sexual expression rescued from taboo status. Incest can be a positive experience; children ought not be deprived of affectionate, caring sex within the family; they ought not be loaded down with the guilt that accompanies the breaking of a taboo. ... Incest is solely a matter of personal morality ... Every child has the right to loving relationships including sexual, with a parent, sibling, other responsible adult, or child ... If children are happy and well-adjusted, who are we to disapprove? ... incest is not in itself a form of violation. ..."

Sexual relations with any child is a whole lotta not OK.

As for the rest, Robert Heinlein was able to blame his loony moments on clinically verified transient ischemic attacks/brain blockages. What's this lady's excuse?

I wish I had a copy of the issue in question to verify that those words actually appeared in that magazine. It's extreme, to say the least.
