looks like the current dating is 4–5k BCE, but some dating back 7k BCE. perhaps the person captioning the image used the numpad and hit 2 instead of 5?

The person knelling down was drawn 7000 BCE than 5000 years later someone came by and improved it.

Surprisingly nice, for an evil Inca mummy.
Rock art is very difficult to date. Any scientific tests you do on the rock will only give you the date the rock first formed. You might be able to get a date from the organic materials in the paint pigments, but taking those samples would mean damaging the art itself.

If your rock art erection persists longer than 5000 years, please consult an archaeologist immediately.

Being in a cave means the sample could have been disturbed. Being exposed to the air and wind means some of the pigment could break down in ways which interfere with sampling and contaminants could be introduced. Some ancient person walking past with a lit torch after it was made could have introduced 'younger' carbon onto the painting, for example.

Radiometricdating is incredibly difficult and takes a lot of effort and the right conditions.

Would venture to guess it's more "a disturbing but profitable number of people are into incest porn but they either don't want to admit it or it'd be illegal or otherwise problematic to host it"

It's this. It allows you to use an intimate domestic setting and come up with all sorts of scenarios. Said scenarios are usually completely insane and nonsensical, but in a self-aware way where they ham it up on purpose, and then the sex itself is almost always very conventional. Probably very little of it has to do with anyone having an actual incest fetish. You know, fortunately.

Having them be a normal, pre-existing couple would be a very different vibe. I still think that's part of the appeal, the 'step-sibling' template allows you to generate endless nonsense scenarios in domestic settings that are recognizable to most young men, your core audience. Just don't think too hard about what is actually being depicted.

My first girlfriend left me for a guy in her youth group. Turns out, her widower dad and his widow mother had chemistry too.

They ended up step siblings fooling around - not entirely sure how far it went but enough to make Ted Cruz blush

I figured it lets it be fetish content for people who want something kink while being totally vanilla porn for anyone who just wants to see loving. If you turn the sound off there's no way to even know it's got an incest theme. You can't do that with the leather and chains.

Didn’t pornhub become so incest heavy because the owner is big into it? They favored incest content, and now savvy content creators cater to it and masturbators use it because they’re not really checking in for the story, which means it’s a tide that will never turn until media literacy becomes a priority when attempting to achieve orgasm.

Yeah, that explanation comes up a lot, but it doesn't really account for the genre's massive and enduring popularity. It clearly tapped into something that was already there. If I own PornHub and I'm really into elbows, it doesn't automatically mean that 50% of porn made in the next decade is going to be elbow-focused.

Sadly, the "step-" stuff is just efficient. Assuming you know you're already looking through straight/gay stuff, "step-sister" immediately gives you the basic ages and genders in the relationship in a way that trying to explain it in less taboo ways doesn't.

I think the difference is that the incest stuff is just regular ol sex with a weird backstory, and being into elbows or feet is too visually and conceptually out there to appeal to anyone without the fetish.

My uncomplicated theory for why it endures is that it’s just plain ol sex within an easily ignorable scenario and your average site user isn’t trying to curate a holistic experience that targets deep psychological urges; they’re hitting the front page and doing a quick scroll for a preview image that looks “right”, skipping to the part of the video that has the thing they wanted to see, doing what they opened the private tab to do, then getting out.

It's the exact opposite. Don't have to sneak out of your house & into your beau's window at night if you live in the same house :v:

They dated from 14 to 16 I think?

E: I think the appeal is a few things:

1. Convenience / same house
2. Characters are the same age you were when your hormones first exploded
3. Fantasy of "gee what if, instead of being a pain in my rear end like my real sibling, my sibling was a ~pain in my rear end~"
