The most important question is of course, how hot are they?


Edit: and if they can time warp well

Ew...no...

I was thinking about this today. What if two first-cousins liked each other enough to officially date and all that fun stuff. Would it be acceptable to you? Would you do it? Blood is too close? I'm thinking if they don't get "down and dirty", it would be fine. I have no first cousins aronud my age btw...

Poll Ahoy!

Firstly: DO THE TIME WARP!

Secondly: They should do it realizing that any children they may have have the chance of having a birth defect.

it's legal in some US states (probably not the ones you think either)

thats just fucked up so NO

Obviously, if you want to they'd have to be. I don't have any first cousins around my age btw...-_-

Hence the need for time-warping skills

No

This thread is plagued with timewarp.

fuck no. to even suggest that is horrible.

Arrested Development.

Maeby: I'm surprised you tried out for this.
George-Michael: Yeah, I just love the theater.
Maeby: That's great. I'm just doing it to kiss Steve Holt.
George-Michael: Actually I think I'm going to quit. Yeah. Theater's dead.
Maeby: ... But he's always going to be at football practice so I'm going to have to kiss the stand-in.
George-Michael: But no. No. I love the theater, and I gave my word so I'm back in.

This thread is plagued with timewarp.

plagued is such a harsh word. It's being fluffled by a timewarp is all. It is Valentine's day and whatnot.

fuck no. to even suggest that is horrible.

yeah but what if they're hot? I mean...I think there's far less built in inhibitions when it comes to cousins versus lets say siblings or parents.

It's acceptable, just not the sort of thing I'd do.

Not my cup of tea, however that probably reflects the state of my cousins more than anything else.:p

Anything on siblings? :p

Seriously though, I personally wouldn't do it. But I'm strong enough to say "hey, if it floats your boat, do whatever you want".

What's a double cousin?

Errr... Fluffle Day is March 8. The thread's not being fluffled, it's being plagued.

Eh, don't have any attractive first cousins anyways.

No appreciation for the romantic attentions of a time warp. :(

No way.

You know, I'm not one to bemoan "traditional values," but kids these days support legalization of necrophilia and incest and child rape. WTF is wrong with people?

I'm the proud descendant of cousin loving. Although I wouldn't do it meself.

In my family, the kid of an aunt/nephew marriage married the nephew/father's sister's kid. :eek:

if your parents are first cousins and they have a child (you) and your mother's sister has a child (your cousin) you are double cousins.

Poll Ahoy!

Yes, it's fine, but I wouldn't do it. Mainly because all of my cousins are red-neck fuckwads whom I never want anything to do with. Now, if I had an intelligent, kind, caring, neato cousin who shared my interests and all that jazz...maybe.

First cousin marrage legal under certain circumstances, hate to think what the circumstances are

I see no problem with it, but am not attracted to any of my cousins.

O_o

What's a double cousin?

if you are cousins with a person through both your mom and your dad (including removed's of whatever level)

even better is quadruple first cousins; possible when one pair of identical twins gets with another pair of identical twins. the resulting children cousins are genetically indistinguishable from full siblings.

First cousin marrage legal under certain circumstances, hate to think what the circumstances are

typically, incapacity to have children or above a certain age.

All I can say is: Bwah?

i hope so as what just pop in my head is a case i hope not i hear

I have no problem with it. Weird thing is is that I'd be willing to have sex with my half-sister.

When identical twins reproduce with identical twins the resulting children are quadruple first cousins (genetically indistinguishable from full siblings).

What if the sets of identical twins are already cousins to begin with:eek:

there is nothing wrong with it but before you do you should talk to your family. no sense having everyone freak out.

i wouldnt do it but thats mostly because my first cousins are not attractive to me.

:eek:

well it makes sense. identical twins have the same genes. so between the four people involved in the setup, there would only be two sets of genes. thus the children cousins of each set would genetically look exactly like full siblings from one couple.

i wonder how often it comes up? i mean, they are identical twins, so their tastes in the opposite sex should be similar. and you can't get more similar than another set of twins.

Too far.:eek:

their kids would be genetically closer than full siblings. by, what, 12.5% maybe?

Hang on, mine was going from wikipedia, I think I've done quadruple cousins rather than double, or something:confused:

Intermarriage between cousins is what killed the Hapsburgs and why the Amish are dying off. I'll have none of that, thank you.

are 1a and 1b siblings, or are 1a and 2a siblings? that'll change things up a bit - the first option has way more inbreeding, for one.

1a and 1b are siblings. As are 2a and 2b. Meh, I'm confused, incest FTW

Intermarriage between cousins is what killed the Hapsburgs and why the Amish are dying off. I'll have none of that, thank you.

inbreeding can lead to inbreeding depression (which is bad), but it can easily be remedied by merely not doing it all the time. genetically, there is not much of a problem with it on an occasional basis.

It won't be acceptable; like it or not, our society doesn't look particularly kindly on people having sex with their blood relatives. You're probably going to run in to some problems if word gets around.

Me? Personally, I don't care. It's not the wisest thing socially, and there are some mental and biological problems associated with inbreeding, but if you're not hurting anyone I don't think it's particularly a problem. Go for it, but know the possible consequences.

Too far.:eek:

I knew I'd go too far by saying it, but it's the truth.

1a and 1b are siblings. As are 2a and 2b. Meh, I'm confused, incest FTW

ok, i've got it now - yeah, your diagram is right.

People are going to laugh at you if they know, and a blood relative would be a really bad choice for a breeding partner, but romance and sex ... why not?

Hell, date your own father for all care.

Wait, that's difeerent from Smunkee's....

only half of mine showed up for some reason, I think I saved it wrong........

I wouldn't, but the opposite of what I say always occurs, so maybe...

Thaz jussss naaaaasty yo! :eek:

Thaz jussss naaaaasty yo! :eek:

oh come on, you know your cousin is hawt

The most important question is of course, how hot are they?


Edit: and if they can time warp well

You should ask Verdigroth.

Firstly: DO THE TIME WARP!

Secondly: They should do it realizing that any children they may have have the chance of having a birth defect.You mean just as much risk as a mother having a child after 40.

its fine with me.

You mean just as much risk as a mother having a child after 40.

less than that, assuming there hasn't been a significant run of inbreeding before too

Meh, I don't have a problem it. I wouldn't do it personally, but then, in general, children do not grow up to find the people they grew up with attractive - whether they are blood related or not.

TO those who condem it on the ground of increased risk of congenital defects - it is only higher if such a gene is present already. Incest does not magically create genetic conditions. If you want to ban first cousin marriage then you should probably look into banning marriage between people with a genetic disease and carriers of the same genetic disease (eg. banning a guy with hemophila from marrying a girl who carries the gene for hemophila - there is avery high percentage that their children will have hemophila [50% - for both boys and girls]).

No way.

You know, I'm not one to bemoan "traditional values," but kids these days support legalization of necrophilia and incest and child rape. WTF is wrong with people?You equate first cousin marriage to child rape? I think you need to take a long deep look at your priorities.

I voted the first option, but then I don't have any first cousins so I don't really get the 'ick' factor. Genetically, cousins share a rather small percentage of common genes, which makes the risk of genetic disorders relatively small.

It's legal for cousins to marry here, btw.

None of my first cousins are hot, to my knowledge.

=is marriage, -is child.Eww, that's nasty... *is a hypocrite...* But then I've always had a problem with people having relationships with people not in their generation. It might have something to do with my dad being 13 years older than my mum (and closer in age to my mum's mum, than my mum), and that his current girlfriend is closer in age to me than to him. The age gap is so big there that it doesn't even bear thinking about. I mean.. there's about 25 years difference in age between by dad's youngest child and his oldest child... it's just so wrong.

It won't be acceptable; like it or not, our society doesn't look particularly kindly on people having sex with their blood relatives. You're probably going to run in to some problems if word gets around.


you speak for "our society"?...I have no problem with it

socially it's not an issue the exception being those people who have a problem with minding their own business...

"mental and biological problems"...insignificant actually for healthy couples with no genetic weaknesses...we all evolved from isolated hunter gatherer groups of 30 or less so inbreeding was unavoidable and normal... and has done little or no harm...

Maybe that inbreeding risk thing was a rumor created to stop it from happening...

Wait.... was that insulting, sarcastic, or genuine???

I like to keep the mystery alive.

Maybe that inbreeding risk thing was a rumor created to stop it from happening...

most likely...I recall reading a report on siblings interbreeding and it found abnormalities barely above the general population, that would change if there was a shared genetic abnormality of course...so any mental problems would have to separated into two groups...physical genetic brain abnormalities and psychological problems resulting from deviating from the social norm..

I was thinking about this today. What if two first-cousins liked each other enough to officially date and all that fun stuff. Would it be acceptable to you? Would you do it? Blood is too close?
