Incesty Pairings

So, I come bearing pollage.

I've seen a lot of conversations about fanfic recently, in which people have discussed different pairings and said "That pairing squicks me out. It's... almost incestuous."

And I was wondering which pairings are most likely to strike people that way.


So, under the cut is a poll, full of pairings!
Rate each pairing from 1 (not incestuous in the slightest) to 10 (really really incestuous and squicky).




[Poll #1524132]


Questions? Comments?

I think Robin/Faith (and Robin/Buffy, for that matter) is laden with Oedipal issues, but I wouldn't call it incestual. Being attracted to someone who reminds you of your mom isn't the same as being attracted to some who plays a motherly role to you. (And Faith is about the farthest thing from motherly.)
