Kim West, who is 51, is in a sexual relationship with her son Ben Ford, 32. She gave him up for adoption more than 30 years ago. But the two finally met in 2014 and have been in a romantic relationship ever since. Not only does the couple want to have a baby together. Ford says the two have “incredible and mind-blowing” sex.
It was Ford, who lives in Michigan, who first reached out to his mother. He wanted to know more about his birth parents.
Strangely, the two felt attracted to each other and shared a kiss over a bottle of Champagne at a hotel before having sex. Immediately afterwards, Ford told his wife that he was leaving her.

About their relationship, West says this: “This is not incest, it is GSA. We are like peas in a pod and are meant to be together. 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.”

Despite how West and Ford feel about it, incest is illegal in the state of Michigan. The couple says they will simply move if action is taken against them.

Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA) is a seldom-talked about phenomenon that sometimes occurs between family members. It describes feelings of intense intimacy between two relatives who have been separated during the critical years of development and bonding, and then meet for the first time as adults.

The term GSA was coined 30 years ago by American Barbara Gonyo, who wrote book called I’m His Mother, But He’s Not My Son, which recounted her personal story of reuniting with the son she placed for adoption at 16.
