Page 4 | Sex with cousin

Oh, nasty! I had no idea this was actually a thing. I had assumed it was illegal. They ask you at the registry office when you give notice to marry if you're related. Me & DH thought it was a bit of a funny question to which the answer would always be 'I bloody hope not!' Obviously not.

Ewwww. But you asked.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 03/05/2013 15:06

What I actually said was in response to the PP who said it ought to be illegal. I didn't say legal, so fine. What I said was are we going to make everything which is legal but not necessarily good for you illegal or are we going to let people keep their freedom to live their own lives and decide for themselves?

If you are going to ban relationships between cousins because of possible genetic problems, then surely we should screen everyone and bar them from marrying someone with possibly incompatible DNA?

Back in my dim and distant past I slept with my stepsister. Ok so shes not blood but know her since I was 6 and was 16 when we did it. A few times over the course of a year or so.
I thought you were 1st cousins which as far as I am concerned would be cool but if it's 2nd or 3rd whats the problem. Live your life and enjoy it!

cheesesarnie · 03/05/2013 15:23

my family are all very close but erm not in that way so i cannot begin to understand but... if it works for you and yours and everyone's happy- go for it!

VitoCorleone · 03/05/2013 15:23

Not something i would do but each to their own (no pun intended)

I do have a huge crush on one of my mums cousins sons though, but i only met him a few years ago

I had sex with my cousin (my mum's twin sister's son) about seven years ago when I was mid-thirties. We were high on cocaine and booze and hadn't seen each other since his mother's funeral when I was fifteen. The sex was mindblowing and the filthiest I've ever had and I've never felt good about it since. I actually shudder when I picture some of the stuff we did. I was so creeped-out that I never spoke to him again.

He died last year at the age of 36 from a combination of a burst bowel and drink problems. He was discovered in a macabre state and I felt so sorry for him. I couldn't, however, bring myself to go to his funeral. I felt as though I would have 'I fucked my cousin' scrawled across my forehead.

Sorry to digress...

My great grandparents were first cousins. Hope that helps.

Actually it's far more likely Queen Victoria's hemophilia gene was the result of a spontaneous mutation as her father was very old when she was conceived.

Op only posted sparsely, stealth boast perhaps?

ellengeorgia · 03/05/2013 16:23

It is not wrong at all. My brother has been married to his/our cousin for 30 plus years, very happy, twin daughters, no problems!

TheRealFellatio · 03/05/2013 16:30

Lots of cultures (particularly among Muslims and gypsies) have a preference for marriage to first cousins or extended family members.

It is not illegal as far as I know, but it is rather taboo in mainstream UK society, and not without good reason I believe. There is a shockingly high incidence of genetic abnormalities, syndromes and serious deformity/disability etc., among babies born as a result of cousins marrying, or people procreating from a very small gene pool.

I see this has already been covered beautifully by mumblechum

We've both agreed that we won't do it again as too awkward in family get togethers etc

It was just a bit of fun :)

whiteandyellowiris · 03/05/2013 17:06

guess its only a problem if you want a baby together, what with the mix of genes to similar etc

EhricLovesTeamQhuay · 03/05/2013 17:51

Because being nasty is fun sometimes :)

It's not a problem, otherwise it wouldn't be bloody legal. My cousin took extensive advice before embarking on a relationship, if there had been any suggestion of a problem with children they would not have got married. No mad fling here, they were serious from the off.

Any 'problems' come from marrying within families going on for generations, not just the odd time. This thread just shows how ignorant some people can be about things they know nothing about. As per the norm here.

Agree with Gwendoline.

Happyjusttobe, second cousins is ok surely?? that's a virtual stranger in my world.

JennyMackerz · 03/05/2013 19:20

If you want to have children then I say it's a big no no.
