Sexual intercourse between people with close kinship ties. Brother-sister marriage and father-daughter marriage are said to have been common among the upper classes of ancient Egypt. However, today no ethnic group legally permits this practice, and some say it is something that is avoided by human instinct as it has a negative genetic impact, but this is denied on the basis of genetics. Rather, the fact that the incest taboo exists suggests that many cases may have actually occurred. S. Freud considered incestuous desires to be a universal phenomenon experienced by children during their mental development, and that this is the main cause of the Oedipus complex.

親族関係の密接な者たちの間でなされる性的交渉。古代エジプトの上流階級では,兄弟・姉妹婚,父・娘婚が一般に行われていたといわれる。しかし今日では,これを合法的に許している民族はなく,遺伝的に悪影響を与えるとして人間の本能から避けられるものとする説もあるが,遺伝学上は否定されている。むしろ,インセストタブーが存在する事実から,実際に多くの事例が起りえたと考えられる。 S.フロイトは近親相姦の欲望を子供の精神成長の過程で体験する普遍的な現象と考え,これがエディプス・コンプレックスの主要な原因となるとした。
