noun

Etymology: From Latin consanguinitas (“blood-relationship”) + amor (“love”) + -y, coined by activist Cristina Shy.

  1. Consensual adult romantic and/or sexual love between family members; consensual adult incest.

    “Most US states still have laws against consensual incest (consanguinamory), and in most of them, people do continue to be prosecuted for simply loving each other. Laws against gay sex have been struck down by the Supreme Court. So, gay sex is legal nationwide, consanguinamory isn't.”

    “Consanguinamory (consensual adult incest) is not a crime in the US states of New Jersey and Rhode Island and there has been no problem as a result.”
