Actually, I looked this one up just for ha-has. you should really include 19:37-38 as well...they tell of the results.

To wit: (this is ALL of 31-38)

And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve the seed of our father.
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve the seed of our father.
And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.


Thus is it written in my Book of Genesis. Things got kinda racy in those days, neh?

If I recall correctly, incest was not a problem until later on in the bible. In fact, it was needed twice: During Adam and Eve's time (Cain married his sister. Duh.) and after the flood. There is a passage (I'm not sure where it is and I don't have my bible with me at work) that says something about not being allowed to interbreed anymore. But up until that time, it was not a bad thing to do yer daddy.
