She's Gonna Freak, But....

Besides, my son is proof that condoms can break. Abstaining from sex is the ONLY 100% effective way to NOT get pregnant. So, even if they're not "trying" they could still produce a retard bastard.

aah come on guys i don't know about in america but in england it is perfectly legal to marry your first cousin and in all honesty nowadays the chances of a'retarded bastard'
[I find this terminology slightly offensive both retard and bastard were terms i thought went out in the seventies]
are pretty slim on a first cousin marriage excessive drinking or smoking carries a much higher risk as does not getting enough folic acid etc. Its only if the pattern repeats itself that genes get messy and things can go wrong

I agree that someone you shared a bathtub with and basically grew up alongside requires careful consideration before you change the relationship to one of lovers rather than family.
But hey i have cousins i havn't seen for 15 years and who i only ever saw twice a year when i was a kid. If i suddenly bumped into one of them at a fmaily gathering or something and they were cute, i was cute and we were both signle i don't think ayone would raise an eyebrow if we decided to get together.

Incest is a society created crime (don't flame me i think its pretty yuck myself) but really what is sick and twsited is abuse - someone in a position of power (which often means older) using that power to frighten or force a weaker/younger person into having sex

BTW if this guy is for real i think he is pretty brave to raise what appears to be a very touchy subject for some of us and of cours erhe is going to make his own mind up in the end. We all ask for advice but very few of us take it!

I know retard bastard is offensive. I chose that term because it was offensive. By the way, if these kissin' cousins don't marry, but produce a child, it is a bastard. That's what the term means. And, to the best of my knowledge it is still illegal for first cousins to marry. I believe I heard somewhere that the genes are still too close in the bloodline, but that second, third, and so on would be allowed to marry. But why, for the love of God, would you wish to marry or fuck your own family? As many people that populate this world, is it so hard to find a NON blood relative?
