“I’m not some kind of pervert.”
-Frank “Beefswelling” Herbert
You really gotta give Herbert for towing right up to the line for incest, giving it a little kiss, but not crossing it.
Lol mind providing some context for those of us unaware?
You really ought to just read the books, but it’s a LOT of “technically not incest” throughout the series. From the Bene Gesserit breeding programs, to Paul considering using his sister to make an heir, to Leto II’s interest in his sister despite being unable to have sex, and then his breeding programs with the Duncan Idaho gholas. Nothing you can really call incest actually happens, but it’s definitely uncomfortable at times.
Jokes aside, not swallowing would be unthinkable in the context of Arrakis.
EDIT: The horror!
If it was anybody else I would assume this was a fake quote.
