If you have sex with a clone of yourself, is it incest?

Well, Incest is primarily not about some moral, but about keeping a diversity in the DNA, so two identical DNAs would be hard no.

But sex with your clone will probably not lead to a baby, so who cares...

For that reason, it wouldn't surprise me if there was some biological reason why two identical DNAs could not succesfully combine.

What if they gender swapped their clone?
- I have no idea how big scifi that is, I'll leave that question to some real biologist.
  
  Also realized that one edge case might be cloned hermaphrodite, not sure how common is functional hermaphroditism amongst humans.
It is mainly about morals in the age of contraception. Of course the definition of what incest is is not, which is what you probably meant... Ignore me
Identical twins wouldn't make a baby either
By your standards sisters would be okay or an uncle with his nephew. Its totally up to you, if you want to fuck your mother as long as she is postmenopausal?

Idk dude. I'm kinda not with you on this.

Edit: oh wait! If you get a vasectomy/tubes tied, you can fuck the whole family...
- Your head is full of interesting stuff you are definitely not into...

Or is it masturbation?

I think that would be a hard argument to sustain. Say one batch comes out of the machine extra humpy/rapey and just comes at you, humping, grinding, the works. How would that fit into your masturbation framework?

(1) Oh, give me a clone
Of my own flesh and bone
With its Y chromosome changed to X
And after it’s grown
Then my own little clone
Will be of the opposite sex.
(Chorus) Clone, clone of my own
With its Y chromosome changed to X
And when I’m alone
With my own little clone
We will both think of nothing but sex.
(2) Oh, give me a clone
Is my sorrowful moan,
A clone that is wholly my own.
And if she’s X-X
And the feminine sex
Oh, what fun we will have when we’re prone.
(3) My heart’s not of stone,
As I’ve frequently shown
When alone with my own little X
And after we’ve dined,
I am sure we will find
Better incest than Oedipus Rex.
(4) Why should such sex vex
Or disturb or perplex
Or induce a disparaging tone?
After all, don’t you see
Since we’re both of us me
When we’re having sex, I’m alone.
(5) And after I’m done
She will still have her fun
For I’ll clone myself twice ere I die.
And this time without fail
They’ll be both of them male
And they’ll each ravage her by and by.

Oh my God, it's real...
I think I'm a clone now
There's always two of me just a-hangin' around
I think I'm a clone now
'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down

Nothing wrong with a little masturbation as long as you don't pull a full San Junipero with yourself

which ep is this?
- S6E3

Kinda takes "Go fuck yourself!" out of the insult cannon.

"Oh yeah, already did man! And not to toot my own horn (again) but I gotta say...."

A twin is a genetic clone and that would be considered incest.

You wouldn't download a clone.

Also, if you guys could provide a solid answer sooner rather than later?

Answer mine first: Can I use the cloning machine next?
- As long as you're not one of those people who gets squeamish over the sight of dead clones, have at it.

yep. also pretty gay

As gay as jacking off your own dick??

The real question is would a clone be family?

How well can the clone drive?
- As good as my dad! He went for a quick drive to get cigarettes and he's still driving! Never knew he is that good

If you had sex with your identical twin, is it incest?

What's the difference with a clone? Is it because they are grown in a vat? Is it because they're a different age? Do they have no rights and soul like a replicant?

Wait hold on, now I have a question. If I wouldn't want to fuck me, does that mean no one would?

Jesus my self-confidence just took a massive hit

I guess that just means you're not autosexual! Um, would that make you allosexual? The aces already nabbed that term
- Wait, allosexual means not asexual right?
  
  And yes I'm not autosexual, definitely heterosexual. But I think the question here isn't autosexual as autosexual is with themselves but another person as themselves?
  
  Technically this is an impossible scenario we are trying to figure out but damn yo we straight up philosophizing
Let's be real, your self confidence wasn't all that
- No, it really wasn't all that lol
I mean I don't want to fuck Rhea Perlman but evidentially Danny DeVito did, so y'know lotsa fish out there to fuck or whatever the saying is.

Sorry but the only that comes to mind is this:

Just don't get obsessed with fucking your clone or it could get crazy.

Wow. That was fucked up.

there are some ahem "works of fiction" that not only explore that, but also refer to it as "selfcest"

so... yes and no? yesn't?

Yes, a clone is not yourself (masturbation) and is not a doppelganger but a entity similar to but not itself yourself. So 1 doesn't equal 1.5

Without some kind of rapid aging, a clone of yourself would have to be grown from infancy. I suppose if you were cloned at an early age, and then waited until your clone was of age for consensual sex, it would be incest.
