There are different perceptions of what incest is. For some people it’s the taboo of crossing traditional relationship boundaries. A lot of those people would lump in-laws in too.

For others it’s only about shared DNA. A lot of those people would exclude in-laws.

For what it’s worth, the actual definition of incest is explicitly about the shared DNA. Nobody perceives the world through definitions though.

Nope. No "blood" relations, no incest.

Doesn't mean it's therefore without problems, but it isn't incest

At this point, with modern contraception, it doesn't matter much about DNA, but don't fuck people that can't go elsewhere for thanksgivng. Once you stop, then things become weird even if you're not technicality related by blood.

Nope. Go ahead and fuck her. Just remember, there may be …other consequences.

Technically, No. Practically, Yes.

Don't fuck your family means don't fuck your family.

But my mind recalls an excellent essay by an anon a long time ago explaining why in-laws, step-siblings, etc became so frequent in porn. Something about an easy plot setup and a few other things.

No. Nor steps.

For me, it's not incest if it's within the same generation (like brother/sister in law) and it's between consenting adults.

No, but a serious faux pas... Depending on the situation.

Nope

Is this not just like 2 sisters from one family going out with 2 brothers from another family?

Unless you live together as one family, no I really don't see why or how it would be incestual.
