my parents are 1st cousins and married,we are 6 brother and sisters total which are all healthy. i have a cousin back in my country which we met for the 1st time back in 1984 and were instantly attracted to each other. then i went back in 1987 and found that we were very much attracted to each even more.we went as far as fondling and kissing, but thats as far as it went.i had not been back to my country since then until 2010,when we saw each other, the sparks were still there and of course, everything that could happen did. we are now in a very long distance relationship but talk everyday and count the days to see each other again. is it normal that we talk about wanting to be together forever.

    Don't be so worried about what others think about you. Be who you are and others will love you for it!

    I personally admire you for going against the tide. All the power to you!

    I think it's normal to develop attractions for cousins. I wouldn't pursue that though, considering 1st cousins are too close genetically and are much more likely to have children who develop birth defects. And more likely doesn't mean absolutely, so it is not surprising that your family doesn't have birth defects. I think it is a social taboo that developed with human evolution or social observation. I think people have such an aversion to the thought, because people are terrified of genetic defects and maybe rightfully so

    I think it's perfectly fine.
    Aslong as you don't have kids, since this can cause disfunctional children (think it has something to do with chromosomes being messed up)

    If you're happy with not having kids, but being together, I see no harm in it.

    Most of the people I've been with have been cousins. They haven't been MY cousins, of course. Just someone else's.

    This is just disgusting. You guys are lucky to be healthy. Your kids will probably have three heads. You really embrace the saying "keep it in the family". Sickos

    Ok, um, well I suppose it's alright, but it's unfair if you bring a child Into the World, because the genetics and blood DNA is so close the child will very likely be deformed. I'm not saying that being deformed is bad, but sometimes it painful and you don't want your own child to be in pain all his/hers life because of your choice to have a child, If you want one adopt, that way you can have a baby and it won't be in pain. :) If you do get pregnant, then it's unfair and a little bit selfish, no offense because your only thinking of yourselves and you happiness not the baby's.

    Being attracted to anyone nice is normal even if it is your cousin. For a while I was attracted to my cousin she was very sweet and pretty and she was between boyfriends so she came to me for advice and companionship and we became very close. I almost kissed her once but I was afraid not because she was my cousin but for all the reasons a guy is nervous to kiss a girl for the first time especially one younger she was like 22 at the time and I was like 44. But it would be very dangerous to marry your 1st cousin and have children as others have said. But to love your cousin and even fool around I think is fine.

      it’s not fake because i have experienced this too except he lives here in my state. my cousin and i have a really weird relationship but we occasionally have a lot of fun. it’s been a while, though because i haven’t been single in a while but as soon as i am, i go right back into his arms.

    Well, to each his own. When it comes down to it we are all related.

      Yeah, according to you we all came from a ribless man and a stupid naked woman who hung out with a talking snake. You fucking religious nutjob.

        religion has nothing to do with the fact that humans as we are today all descended from less than 20 protohominids that survived through an intense time in the ancient past. nobody mentioned adam and eve. its impossible to be more distantly related to someone that 50th cousins. we are all one giant family.

      Whoever you fall in love with or whoever you may be attracted to is not always a conscious decision. Incest is morally wrong to many people, but if it happened to you, I'm sure you would have a very different opinion. As for your comment on being gay, that is a very touchy subject on many people and I would not voice your opinion so loudly.

        But that's what having an opinion is all about. Letting people know what I think, its not about being right or being wrong its about how I was raised and the things I've gone through that make me the way I am. I have gay cousin and have never told then anything I don't mind hanging around them or anyything but when they asked me what I thought I told them the truth. I didn't try to change them or "preach" to them I just straight up told them. I don't think its the way we're supposed to be or else we would be able to reproduce that way. But if they make out in front of me I'm not going to be imature about it. I didn't mean for this to sound mean or anything just wanted to explain myself a little more
