My 2nd cousin and i like each other

My 2nd cousin and I reconnected a few months back and I fell in love. We live in different states but I get to see her often enough. Anyways, we started talking almost every day, for hours. And I just loved her more and more. At the 4th of July she came down for a visit and we started talking. We eventually got to the subject of us together and I found out she felt the same way. We (she more than me) agreed that nothing was likely to happen. We want to but we don't know what our family will think. What are you thoughts?

    There's no reason whatsoever why second cousins (or in most cases first cousins) can't have a sexual relationship and if there are no genetic conditions in the family, children too, if that's what they want down the track.

    I don't agree with Ellenna on it being okay for first cousins to "do it". I think that is pushing the natural limits of the old gene pool a little too much: the well-being of an innocent child should not depend on a roll of the dice. But it seems to me that a 2nd cousin aught to be far enough removed from what would be considered incest and be within nature's safety zone. So I'd say go for it dude. Human history dictates that what you two are about to do is normal. I'll leave you with two words: latex condom.

    There is no reason for cousins not to have (sexual) relationships. Even having children with your 1st cousin doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

    "Children of first-cousin marriages may have an increased risk of genetic disorders but this can only be estimated empirically, and those estimates are likely to be specific to particular populations in specific environments. Some scientists contend that the risk is relatively small at 5 percent, compared with a 3 percent risk for children whose parents are not genetically related." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_marriage

    I'm in love with my second cousin because she is so hot and cute. It's normal in my opinion.

    I don't see a problem. If you love her, go for it. Second cousin really isn't genetically close. If you were in Iceland you couldn't hope for anything better.
