There is no way I’d ever touch or let my brother touch me in such a way. Cousins? Hell no! Uncle, father, grandfather… NONONONONO! If there is a blood link, no fuckin’ way (pun intended). That’s wrong… just W-R-O-N-G. ---

It’s funny reading the above posts that most of the cousins who initiated the intimacy were the females. Same thing happened to me with one of my second cousins, but we never did anything. ---

Why the hell would I want to sleep with my brother? He’s my BROTHER! The idea is just so gross! The same goes for anyone related to me by blood. ---

One of my cousins and his older stepsister apparently had a sexual relationship for a while. In all fairness, she was (is) a good looking woman and they aren’t related by blood. ---

I know a couple of people who have had sex with first cousins. Unsurprisingly, they don’t talk about it much. ---

I don’t understand why everybody is so ‘disgusted’ at the thought of having sex with a blood relative. I don’t think it’s a big deal at all, and as long as they are both consenting adults who do not intend to have children, who cares? Personally, all of the women in my family are hideous looking, but if they weren’t, I certainly wouldn’t rule them out just because we’re related. ---

Yeah, in VT it’s perfectly legal to marry a 1st cousin. But that’s not something I’d do, either. I mean, he’s an OK guy, but there’s no way on earth I’d marry him. Once again, objectively, there’s no reason no to (you know, other than already being married), but emotionally, it’s a definate no-go. ---

Incest doesn’t cause widespread mutation like everyone thinks. It just increases the chance of the child getting recessive genes from both parents. The royal family is doing ok ---

Surreal, you have some real problems to address, if you ask me. My sister (and brothers, for that matter) makes me sick, and I can’t stand to be in the same house with her, let alone anything else! I’ll dig up two old sigs for this thread: She was a mother, but not mine, so that makes it okay. And… * * * She told me she loved me like a brother. She was from Arkansas, hence the Joy! ---

What on earth? It’s not a disgusting topic, just ‘weird’ IMO. And even then, the weird comes in to it from my own feelings on the matter, not from the thread itself. ---
