DEAR DEIDRE: I KNOW I can’t be with her but the only woman for me is my sister.
I’m a guy of 22. I was brought up in care and my younger sister was adopted.
She was two years old when our dad passed away. Our mother had drug and alcohol problems and she couldn’t look after us.
My sister found me last year and we have become so close. The last time we met up she came to my flat.
She dropped a coin and as we both went to pick it up we clashed heads. As we came up I rubbed her head and then I kissed her.
She kissed me back and then we ended up having sex.
It wasn’t awkward afterwards but I got the vibe she didn’t want to talk about it. She is 20.
I am in love with her but I know I can’t be with her.

DEIDRE SAYS: This sort of intense attraction can happen between siblings who haven’t been raised together.
It is called genetic sexual attraction.
Take a step back – until you feel confident of just feeling brotherly love for your sister.
You can both find support through PAC-UK (pac-uk.org, 020 7284 5879).
