I have fallen in love with my cousin.

The title says it all. I have fallen in love with my cousin. I am twenty years old and she is older than me. She is beautiful in every way. We have the same music and movie taste. Our personalities are the same. I want to have sex with and be with her forever. I just look at her picture and everything else faids away. I want to tell her how I fell, but my family WOULD NOT APPROVE. I am pretty sure she might not go with it. What should I do? I need some good advice. Is it normal?

    Wait till April Fool's day and tell her, just act serious. If she acts grossed out just laugh and shout "April Fools!"

    dude stay away from family, it is normal to have feelings but it is another thing to act on it.

    ok, at least where i come from, loving a cousin is not the same as incest. As long as it isnt your sister or something like that, it should be ok:P But remember, it isn't surely she feels the same way, and that is when it becomes odd:P

    Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were first cousins. Of course this passed on a hemophilia recessive gene on to a number of their progeny.

    I, for one, think that it's perfectly normal. But I think the only way you're going to move past this is by building up the courage and asking your cousin wether she feels the same way, or at least just telling her.

    I did.

    It's not normal. It's vice versa with me. She's the one bugging me.

    A relationship with a cousin, even a first cousin, isn't really that bad. I mean, until only about 80 years or so it was quite common - not just for the Royals, either.

    In fact, many cultures around the world insist that you marry a cousin.

    As for the genetic consequences on children, science has shown that there really isn't much more of a chance of genetic problems than there is in the general public.

    If you truly love each other, and it is not just a crush or infatuation, you should do what is best for the two of you. HOwever, be aware that people today in western cultures have come to think of it as ... well, backwards and you will get a lot of flak for that.

    You should probably meet other girls. Stop being obsessed with her. From what I read, she does not even know about you feelings for her. If you can't stop thinking of her, just take a picture of her and have a good wank...You should feel better afterwards!

    MOVE TO CANADA. Marrying cousin is legal. How old is she. If she is 30, dude...no. Try hitting on girls your age. But if she is like 21 or 22, then you are A OK. Have sex then marry her. Before parents start asking why you guys moved to Canada!

    You're a guy. And me, being a guy, can say this with all reassurance that guys are stupid sex driven idiots that screw up everything in are paths. you are an idiot. so i suggest that you figure out what you really want [which, from reading this, is getting with your cuz] and do the exact opposite. In doing this you can be confident you are doing the right thing.

    P.S.
    You guys seem close and if you try to get with her you WILL lose her completely and forever.
    P.S.S.
    Beside its one of the unwritten rules... right after... in no case is it okay to rack another guy... the rule is never go out with your best friend because when you break up you lose her as both a friend and a girlfriend. this is just commonsense.
    P.S.S.S.
    Your cousin?... come on man.

    Though I find the idea of "loving remains in the family" not exactly to my taste I think the overall idea of geninue consent from both parties to enter a relationship is the main thing.

    The repercussions could include being rejected by society as this is a taboo.

  • Well unless you are magically moving & accepted into another culture I'd suggest you take a cold shower & get over it. She's family and any approach on your part is going to be unacceptable by her & your families.

    You shouldn't feel bad for feeling like this. ALthough it is not very acceptable in our culture, it is many others. For example in the Maldives (Islands off the coast of Sri-lanka,) cross-cousin marriage is prefered. However they only marry certain cousins from certain sides of the family (not sure why.) It is NOT incest like some ignorant people would think and it does not cause genetic defects. I have a background in cultural anthropology so am very open to different ideas.
