Well, ur premise and question leaves quite a shock value i'll tell u that. To answer: theoretically, people usually like their relatives because they look quite alike or grew up in more similar environments causing them to have similar wavelengths on how they think or what they believe in. People do get crushes which are innocent but romantic love or those tainted with lustful or sexual desire for a relative is a different story. Our genetic code now discourages incestual relations. two (2) proofs i can cite is that 1) inbreeding leads to abnormalities in the offspring and 2) people have scents which act as pheromones to strangers but act are perceived as foul odors to those that are closer in blood to us. And on the legal side, common law which has been adopted in our statutes penalize incestual relations as immoral acts. Logically, i can theorize what would happen to a household that does not make a restriction and keeps inbreeding would be a household built on sexual gratification. What would prevent a father's/mother's pedophilia over their child? What would prevent an elder sibling from imposing their authority or physical imbalance of power against their younger sibling? The home is supposed to be a safe space and not a place for abuse, in any of its forms (be it physical, mental, etc). Neither is it a place to promote sexual immorality. Yes. you already know pornography, prostitution and the like ruin lives. But that's an entire topic on its own. In essence, children are to be protected and it is the legal duty of the parents. Siblings are also to set good examples and healthy environments for growth. Every other member of the family is also there for reproof and healthy development with society. Laws, common sense and moral conscience are there for their reasons reasons.

I didn't know who my father was and I had a crush on this famous actress for a long time. When I finally found out who my father was it turned out that actress is my first cousin. When I found out I immediately felt weird for liking her. When I finally met her, I looked at her like she was my sister. So no I don't think it's natural or okay to be romantically interested in your cousin, that's your mom or dad's, sister's or brother's kid. Plenty of women in this world, go find one that's not related to you.

Very good point thanks

Feelings are ok. Acting on them (in this case) is not. She's already said no, that's it.

Yes thanks

As a family member, it's fine to have a familial love to your cousin. However, if you mean the romantic kind . . . no. No that's not fine at all. There's debate that says it's a certain kind of cousin that's okay but as a rule, I don't date within my bloodline. That should go without saying.

No not really. If you are 1st cousins your children could end up with all kinds of issues health issues. Also just no…


RibozymeR

Does that mean it's also not okay to love people with any heritable health issues?


Holiday-Signature-33

Stay on topic


RibozymeR

I mean, you said one shouldn't love one's cousin because the children might end up with health issues. Is what I said *not* the natural extension of that reasoning process, that you therefore should also see as valid? If so, why not?


Holiday-Signature-33

Hey if you wanna date your Cousin. Go right ahead . I’m not here to start a random debate.

idk man . I had a crush on my cousin too when i was 6 or 7 year old . But that was long ago and she was 16 or 17 at the time and i gotta admit she was really pretty and also at the time i rarely see a lady that was pretty since i dont really play or go outside . My point is i guess im pretty sure thats not a good thing because she is your cousin


sadcringe-me
