"It was so weird and confusing I was seeing my dad for the first time in forever but it was also like, He's so good-looking! I saw him as my dad but then also part of me was like, I'm meeting this guy who I have been talking to over the internet and really connecting with and I find him attractive."The instant attraction was undeniable and it got deeper as she decided to stay with him for a week. It only took them 5 days to share how they fancy each other. Before they get to sleep together, the woman confessed to her father that he is her first lover. Fast forward to the present, they are now an engaged couple and plans on having their own children together as well.

On potential genetic problems that could face their children
"I wouldn't risk having a kid if I thought it would be harmful. I've done my research. Incest has been around as long as humans have Everybody just needs to deal with it as long as nobody is getting hurt or getting pressured or forced."
