I regret I never slept with a cousin of mine. There was so much chemistry and caring. It was not a relationship as a girlfriend of course but not nasty sex. There were good feelings but we never did. She is married now but we should have done it and make love outside of our relationships.

So, if you get organize in your heads and understand is basically fun chemistry, go for it. But do not "date her" just benefits.

So much irony here.
 
I know a man who probably would. But then again, maybe even Charlie Sheen has boundaries.

If I were to breed with my cousins, I could get us back to Chimpanzee in just 3 generations, and kill off creationism entirely. :D
 
If you are of European ancestry, pick any other random European and if you look back from now to 1000 years ago there is a 75 precent chance that you will share a common ancestor.

Just saying'...

Yes, it was some internet factoid I read a couple of years ago.

We all share a common ancestor, but that's a bit different than doin' yer cuz.
 
I've banged two first cousins and one second cousin (two guys, one girl). Granted, it was done when I was 14-19 but I've no regrets about it.

As for dating one, probably not.
 
I up voted you for your honesty. :D

And I "fixed" someone's subsequent Down Vote.

Me, 4th grade, 1st cousin 5th, trying to figure Worm "A" into Camel Toe "B".

Not a clue. :eek:

Nothing further even happened after that, but I still smile when I think of the innocence. :)

She passed at 50, from ovarian cancer. :(
 
Worm "A" must wait for rigamortis to take over.

Sorry to hear about the cancer. It's a terrible way to go.

Well both my cousins are men, like me, so if I did, that would be gay and then people in the south would say I was a sinner and would go to hell. But if they were chicks, the same people might cut me some slack so....
 
hmmm, honestly, no. As much as I love my cousins, i'm a bit older than them (I'm 35, the next oldest is 20).

Amusingly, a fun bit out of genetics, out of the 7 of us;

Three of us are lesbians (myself included), one is a young gay man. It's fascinating as hell that he and his fraternal twin sister are both gay.
 
A fourth cousin of mine and I messed around a bit when we were younger, but never dated or went all the way. These days, I don't think I would do it again but I don't regret doing it either.

2nd, 1st cousins... that would be just a bit odd. (Of course living in the south, it's not that uncommon to see. Seriously.)
 
I'm going to side with the majority and say no and let me just that it is creepy.
