About
There is no 'hard' evidence to indicate that 'brothers' are more tempted to engage in sibling sex than brother and sister are. In fact, ancient rituals in some cultures insisted on the union between different sibling genders to propagate the family line, to insure its purity.
[Sexual] While many studies disprove the theory that a sexual attraction exists among brothers or siblings, most claim it is more a result of social and cultural influences rather than some genetic disposition.
The fantasy of brothers having sex exists, as some claim, is due to the need to have a deep bonding, that is associated with 'brotherly love or sibling sex' Sex being considered the ultimate form of showing one's affections, in a physical sense. Hence the growing trend towards sexual sites dealing with 'fraternity members' or other closely knit groups of males. It is an attempt to provide that 'close' association, 'bond' that some gays desire, but won't admit to.
The sexual attraction of 'brothers' is also rooted in the desire to test boundaries, or to rebel against the taboos of society. There is also the 'predatory' aspect of 'sibling sex' that can occur.
'Brother' sex is also about youthful exploits, where the sex is merely physical in nature (see 'Boys') which implies a sort of curiosity being explored, tested, and who better to do such experimentation with, than someone close, who you can trust. Whether a 'brother' in the sense of being a blood relation or of a group relationship, such as a Fraternity.
