Cousins in love?????????

This is a very interesting question, and your feelings are not anything you should feel ashamed about. In our society, cousin relationships are looked down upon and considered incestuous, but if you look at other cultures and societies, you will find that cousin relationships are actually very common. Children of first cousin couples (related on one side only) have no more chance of having a birth defect than an unrelated couple. If however, you have a recessive trait that could cause a genetic defect, and your cousin also carries the recessive trait, that will double your changes of the child being born with the trait. If you were to seriously consider having a relationship with a cousin, it would be important to see a genetic counselor to determine if you or your cousin carry such a gene. Your likelihood of having a baby with Downs syndrome is the same as anyone else because it is a chromosomal defect, and is not genetic.

Getting involved with a cousin is a serious decision because your family members are also affected. Because of the stigma surrounding these types of relationships (proven by the comments you've already received) your family members might not be receptive. Any decisions made in the direction of a romantic relationship should not be taken lightly. And, this kind of thing goes on much more often that you think. Famous examples of cousin marriages in the United States include Edgar Allen Poe, Albert Einstein, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Jerry Lee Lewis.

You know That Cousins make the Best ideal sex partners...

Because,You already know each other better than two strangers who could ever know each other & Even tho You re Cousins It can only Be Sex as long as You Wear a Condom 

Well that is kinda gross but I can't say I haven't felt that way too. I'm not sure but if you think about it normal people are attracted to people who look like their oldest sibling of the opposite gender. I for one like people who look like my brother, but I wouldn't date my brother.

What I think,is that you like people who look and act like your cousin and sense in many other countries people like their siblings and cousins more intimately, I would say that what your feeling is perfectly normal. This is also something you should keep to yourself if you want it off your back.

I will have to admit that this might be strange and a little gross but I guess if it makes you happy then go for it-personally I wouldn't do it but if you feel like you are a perfect match for him.....go 4 it

dont listen to anyone

it depends how you feel towards them

no-one can call you incest because incest means with you brother or sister not cousins !

dont get deep into it cuz ur kids with have like 11 toes or fingers or be like screwed up. its not right. its nottttt right. at all.

Your children will come out with genetic disorders such as down syndrome.

tell him, you love him as a brother; else, tell him is ok, but he must ask your parents' permission; otherwise, you will have to explain that to your parents.
