Rito, dude, monogamy is a great idea in theory, but you've got a harem of girls who love you and are actually okay with sharing you! Just go for it! So what if one of them is your sister, it's not like the kids will have two heads or anything! Breed 'em bro! Embrace love.

Ahh, that's not quite how you should look at it. It's not as if the genes themselves get fucked up from one generation of inbreeding to the next. The problem is the fact that everyone has a few genes which code for defects of different sorts. Most of these are recessive, that is, you need two copies of the faulty gene to express the fenotype, which means that if you have children with a random person unrelated to you, the odds of said person having the same faulty gene, so that a potential child could inherit a copy from both mother and father is very low. However, if the mother and father are related, they will share a lot of their genes due to having the same heritage, and the odds of both parents being in possession of the same sickness inducing gene, making it possible for a child to receive two copies, and therefore become ill, is much much higher. Because of this, it is very likely for a child to have some defects already from the first generation. As the generations pass however, so long as the children keep having children with each other, and no fresh genes enter the gene pool, the offspring per generation will eventually have a more and more similar genotype, making it even more likely for defects to pop up, and possibly accumulate in one poor, multihandicapped individual, resulting in gross defects like two heads, missing limbs and so on.
