Has anyone had a relationship with their cousin before?
Is it right?

I can't help my cousin being attractive.. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
I haven't but I know a couple of people who have ... I don't disagree with it 'cos I think that their gene pool would be washed up enough not to cause too many problems. It'd be a bit weird if there was a strong family resemblance, in my opinion, though.
Sounds like a can worms I'd regret opening.
Whoever said "Keep it in the family" should be jailed :O
Just thought I'd better clarify, the above comment was 100% personal. If anyone wanted to have relationship with their cousin, that's fine.
But I wouldn't...honest!
My cousin's a babe - but I have never thought of her in any way other than a mate (we got the same circle of friends). Like Chica, I agree that it's up to the individual but it's not for me personally ...
Burn baby burn!
I think it's a bit weird - no problem with it, just don't think I could bring myself to take it very far. Sex would be too strange!
the other weird thing is that his mum really really looks like his dads sister (but thats obviously coz their cousins too)
but it's not like they knew each other from growing up, they met when they were in their 20's at the funeral of their grandad.
i don't think it's wrong but i couldn't do anything with any of my cousins!
There's a girl in my mirror
I wonder who she is
Sometimes I think I know her
Sometimes I really wish I did

Sex is evil,
Evil is sin,
Sins are forgiven,
So lets get stuck in!
My very own Mum & Dad are cousins!
They got together as a 'couple' when my Mum was 17 & my Dad was 18 but when they were kids they didn't get on @ all & kept out of each others way! LOL!
To answer ur question sexylaydee no the babies don't always come out disabled. Me & my bro are both fine, nothing wrong wit us @ all. We've never even broken a bone let alone ne thing else! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
Also if its your mum'm brother's kids.
Other than that it'll be alright like you mum's sister's kid or your dad's.
Hope that wasnt too long winded for you to understand, just read it a few more times.
nah sorry, thats rubbish. if you have children with a close family member, theres more chance of a genetic abnormality appearing. like if you have two people who are carriers for a rare disease, which is more likely in one family, and THEY try and have children, theyre more likely to give birth to a child WITH the rare disease. i mean if its that rare, another partner isnt likely to have the gene for the disease at all, which is why genetic abnormalities are more common. we've not really done much about incestual offspring in a level bio, but its kinda like what ive said. so it doesnt matter if its your mums brothers children or your dads brothers children!
the only reason i can think of for you thinking this is because men have an X and a Y chromosome, and some genes arent present on a Y chromosome. this is why men can suffer from diseases like haemophilia and colour blindness, which are rare in females because they have an extra X chromosome to "mask" the effect of the dodgy gene. but its not like a law saying you can have children with members of your mums family but not your dads.
Burn baby burn!
hehe thanks, at least i know THAT part of my a level biology syllabus <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
hehe i didnt get into recessive/dominant genes... now if i was tired id have been spouting everything!
*shuts up now*

By blood - bit weird, but its your gene pool you're dilluting. (sp?)
by marriage - go for it.
Trouble was, the girl who was conducting the interview didn't like me because I used to ride a motorbike in to work so I only ever wore trousers. Thay stitched me up at the interview & I didn't get the job <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/frown.gif">
Anyway, I don't think there's anything wrong in cousins getting together either. I don't understand why it's still outlawed in many American states. Is that correct Calvin (or any of the other cousins from across the pond)?

Never put off to tomorrow what you can avoid altogether.
Dont't you just love the human body?!
