Well, I think genetically speaking... and in some social quarters.

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

"So you say DanS, that in America if they are not first cousins it is ok?"
Sure. Why not?
It's legal.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

I definitely wouldn't have any concerns about doing it.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Well it wouldn't be as frowned upon.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

What's this "in many quarters" B.S.? It's not like it would only be OK in the deep South!
People just don't see it as often nowadays, so they don't expect it. If you don't wear it on your sleave, why would anybody question it?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

it got discussed in a class of mine at college
out of the 20 or so people (I think a few more actually), only I and one other person were pro second cousin relationships
everyone else (who was vocal) were against
that is what I mean

That is surprising. I don't know what to say. I certainly wouldn't give a flying fook.

It got discussed in a class of mine too (that and first cousin relations), but 90% of the class hadn't even given the idea any thought at all before the question was posed, and just voted against the relations because a. they were "icky" or b. because they didn't even know what a second cousin was. After an hour of argument, 90% of those against realized either a. that "ickiness" is a pretty stupid measure of morality, or b. that second cousins are not the same thing as first cousins.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

Silly girl - cousins are for sex education, not marriage. So by all means bonk away but don't marry em.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
Look, I just don't anymore, okay?Comment

Re: "Kissing"? Or just "friendly"?
The first thing that struck me is how you talked about him. How he looks, how he dresses, how he is intelligent. But not a word on his character.Originally posted by Alinestra Covelia
Well, this topic rears its head once more in debate. I won't even pretend that it has nothing to do with my present love life.
Consider the following:
He's smart. He's smooth. He's immaculately dressed and definitely looks good on you. He's your ideal man, your Mr Right, your completing half, and he feels pretty much the same way about you. There's only one thing - he's your cousin.
To me, that sounds dangerously like infatuation.
Without any further information, my advice is to take a closer look at his character before you make a decision.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget
