Man Leaves Wife To Have Sexual Relationship With His Mother, Argues It’s ‘Not Incest’

One man’s bizarre affair has caught the attention of readers around the world because he’s opted to leave his wife to have a sexual relationship with his mother. Then, to make matters worse, he argues that the relationship is not a form of incest. The rare story behind their sexual relationship has sparked controversy because the circumstances are quite different than you’d expect, which is why the man argues his perspective.

According to The Blaze, Ben Ford, now 32, was given up for adoption when he was a week old. He grew up not having a relationship with his biological mother, Kim West, 51. After 30 years, he decided to find her. When he contacted her, they began to converse over the phone and felt as if they’d known each other for years by the time they met in person. However, the reunion wasn’t exactly what most people would’ve expected. Apparently, it wasn’t just a typical reunion between a biological mother and son. The mother and son mutually agreed they both felt a sexual attraction toward one another.

To most people, their sexual attraction might seem quite bizarre, but Ben argues that their relationship is categorized as a condition called Genetic Sexual Attraction, which usually refers to sexual attraction between biological relatives who meet during adulthood. Initially, West felt guilty and awkward about her bizarre sexual attraction to her own son, but after researching online, she discovered GSA and read about others who have the same types of unconventional attractions. Now, she feels more comfortable about her sexual attraction to her own son. In fact, the mother and son are now defending their sexual relationship, according to Mirror Online.

“This is not incest, it is GSA. We are like two peas in a pod and meant to be together,” West said during an interview with The New Day. Then, she even went a step further by sharing details about their sex life, claiming it is “incredible and mind-blowing.”

“I know people will say we’re disgusting, that we should be able to control our feelings, but when you’re hit by a love so consuming you are willing to give up everything for it, you have to fight for it,” West said, according to the Mirror. “It’s a once in a lifetime chance and something Ben and I are not willing to walk away from.”

As a result of their seemingly bizarre attraction and the ethical arguments about their decision to pursue a sexual relationship together, their story has gone viral and sparked a huge debate. On Friday, April 8, the mother and son made the front page of the U.K. publication New Day due to the ongoing debate about this arguably psychological syndrome. As expected, the mother and son have received overwhelming backlash for their sexual relationship. Shortly after the story was published, many social media users reacted to the mother and son’s affair with memes depicting how morally disturbing their sexual relationship is.

But, despite the opposition they’ve faced as a result of their seemingly bizarre relationship, the mother and son are moving forward with their plans of building a life together. It has been reported that the mother and son plan to marry and start a family in the near future.
