Is it normal to be sexually atracted to your cousin.

I'm extremely attracted to my cousin and I feel that she feels the same but I'm afraid to ask her.

    Notice: This post doesn't really relate to the original post, but this whole topic on "Normality" and the discussion taking place above.

    Since most of you are on the topic of "What is Normal", I thought I'd give my two cents.

    I don't like "Normal" people. Most of those people hang out at home depot and look at curtains in their spare time--not me. I like those crazy fuckers who at 2 AM say "LETS GO OFF-ROADING IN THE FOREST WITH NO LIGHTS ON!" and I'm like "FUCK YEAH!". I love people who are weird, they make life fun and entertaining, and they are the ones who tell you the craziest shit and will listen to your problems with down to earth answers--and have the experience to back that shit up.

    At the end of the day, If you aren't hurting yourself or others or damaging someone or something in some way, then who gives two shits about what is normal? Live life on the edge, you're only here for a short time so fuck some shit up, make an impact, let fuckers of the future know you were here and that you were one awesome motherfucker!

    I have a younger cousin that had a crush on me we went riding around one night and she started talking about sex next thing i knew she was rubbing my cock. we went down by the river and she striped I thought she wanted to fuck but she just wanted me to see her naked body and to give me head. Over the years she has blown me at least 50 times and as we got older we have done just about everything. It all started in 1977 and we were together last year.

      is best relitavely speaking lol!!! but really thats gross and immoral thats why it's illegal. and if you do have a kid together it will more than likely have birth defects because of how similar the genetics are. but really don't do it.

        The chances of birth defects is only like 1% higher for kids of cousins. Chillax. It is not gross or immoral necessarily. Cousins are very different people.

      Different jurisdictions have different definitions of incest. In some areas, first cousins are within the prohibited range of relationship, but in some others (England, California) they are not. First-cousin relationships were once considered quite normal, even a healthy extension of the family.

      Cousins aren't close enough for it to be incest. Think about it. It's legal almost everywhere. The kids are normal. Get over it.

        Depends on what generation of cousins they are.

        1-3 is too close in the gene pool, 4 and up should be fine.

          No, actually with 1st cousins, the chance of having defective kids is only 1-2 percent higher than unrelated people.

            Really? Then, I must be thinking of siblings.

            There's a brother/sister couple in Germany and most of their kids have are mentally challenged. Apparently, the children have been taken away and the brother has been put in jail a number of times. But every time he gets out he hooks up again with his sister and they keep having more children!

              Yeah, I think that must be there. Siblings is definitely taboo and disgusting in my opinion. The genes are far too close. That is incest. Cousins may not be the wisest, but it certainly isn't as bad as everyone seems to think it it. :)

    ...Well, how close in blood is she to you? Is she your first cousin? Your second cousin?

    You aren't the only one to be attracted to their cousin. I am attracted to 3 of mine, and have sex with 1 of them. We've been doing it for 9 years now... and out relationship as friends/ family is good too. We talked talked about being attracted to each other several times, but never had the courage to act on it. We got started as just hangiin' out with friends. Someone bet us on a dare to kiss... we did, and got a lot of money... HA. Anyway, after that we started going out like we were dating for a while. We are friends now, and hook up from time to time. I suggest you start hangin' out... work your feelings into a conversation. Do what feels right... Go for it!

    It's normal... But not right. I live in a place where a LOT of people believe it's O.K., but I think it's messed up. It's one step off from brother and sister.

  • Some time ago I use to be really turned on by this guy and would constantly flirt with him till one day my cousin can by and I showed him the picture of the guy and he said he was my other cousin and that he recently moved back to America. I had never meet him before because they had been living in Russia my whole life. After that I felt sick to my stomach and puked in the bathroom. Thankfully I lost all interest in him after that.

    My cousin and I are having sex at least once a week. We love it and dont plan to stop. I think its normal

    I think it is completely normal. Your cousin is just a human being and you are a human being, whether your both of the same or opposite sex, humans will find attractions to each other because it's in our nature. Though, wanting to pursue a relationship with her may be a different story.

    I've had dreams about having sex with one of my cousins. Maybe bc we played "husband & wife" & "dr" when we were kids. We both grew up & work out together & used to go to clubs together. We don't give each other sexual vibes. I felt super creepy after the 1st dream but he's hot so maybe that's why.

    Why is everyone so concerned about what's "normal"? If you had a dollar for everyone that was intimate with a cousin you'd have no trouble with bills. Go somewhere with her and in a nice way mention how you feel about her. It's quite possible she'll need time to think about it, so don't worry about that. Remember: timing is everything. If you can find a secluded moment just before your outing is ending, tell her then, so she isn't trapped and unsure how to behave. Be really nice.

      So far as I can tell, this is a site that caters primarily to the young and inexperienced, those most given to concerns about whether they are "normal." While it is "normal" to worry if you are "normal," in counseling such individuals it may occasionally be helpful to point out that preoccupation with what is "normal" may be unnecessary. It tends to stifle the development of independence and the drive to be one's own person. Further, it is a notorious truth that there is a wide gulf between what some folks say is normal and what in fact is happening in human conduct. Though incest is socially proscribed it is quite common and needs to be understood as such. The advice given is healthy and useful.

        It's not so much about actually conforming to "normal" or overly concerning oneself with what "normal" is. I think a lot of people come here simply wanting some affirmation that they're not alone. It can be scary to think that you're the only person that has some urge, or fear, or thought, or whatever! We all wonder if we're the only ones that experience those things, and by putting questions here, you get to find out if other people are going through something similar, which can be reassuring in a way. You can also glean a lot of information from people's reactions to the questions you ask! I like to think IIN serves a purpose similar to a good group of friends that you're comfortable asking anything around, or a pleasant and helpful psychologist or therapist.

    My first crush ever was my cousin Dorothy. So beautiful with her red hair and her long, curvy body. I was fourteen; she was twenty-two.

    Yeah, it's normal, I'm actually dating my first cousin and we plan to tie the knot! Society would have you feeling less than human for such a thing but the majority of the U.S. populace is very ignorant of the factual data surrounding this topic. It is indeed true that generations upon generations of consanguine offspring are way more likely to have a genetic defect, but for a one-off, meaning no one up to your Grandparents had a consanguine offspring leading to yourself or your first cousin, then the percentage is only 2-4 below "normal" (ie: from 97% success, to atleast 93% success rate of normal childbirth). Women who have kids after 40 years old have the exact same odds as one-off first cousins. Think about that one...

    I hope its normal. I fooled around with my cousin when we were kids. Just an experimental thing. Truth is I would fuck her now if given the chance. Shes hot and we were never reallh close since we live in different states. Go for it....just use protection.

    Well I put a story about a cousin experience e on here. Not that its normal but after all that happened I still finding myself getting a raging hard on when I think about my cousin. I just can't help it.

  • I think it's pretty much normal. But being attracted to them is one thing and having sex with them is another. If a pregnacy ever happened, that would be extreamely awkward to explain to your parents. My cousin was sexually attracted to me for a while, and he told me. One time we were hanging out and we were alone watching a movie, and he put his hand in his pants and started rubbing himself under the blanket, not realizing i noticed. He started moaning and it got insanely awkward. &After that he tried to hold my hand. Lets just say I can't look at him in the eye anymore

    Technically it's legal in the majority of the states, and tons of cultures (and as I mentioned, the majority of the US) practice marrying first cousins. Based on this, I would have to say that yes-- it is normal. A lot of people in the US get all squirmy about it because I think they don't want to be judged, but I wouldn't feel embarrassed by it.

    I had a crush on mine too. I still think she is hot and wouldn't have been opposed to fooling around.
