Game of Thrones, for one, has the most popular incest story between Cersei and Jaime Lannister, although they weren’t the first pair to portray this on the screen.
In 1999, Reese Witherspoon starred in the romance thriller movie Cruel Intentions. It received an R rating for a reason—not only did it contain lots of s*xual innuendos and intimate scenes, but it also highlighted incest as a central plot.
