Feelings for second cousin ...help?

Hi.. I have this cousin (dunno the degree exactly but she is my fathers cousins daughter). I just met her once , which was 4 yrs back at a relatives place and I wasn't aware of her being my cousin until recently. We have been talking online from last 4 yrs usually once a month or something, but from last 4-5 months we have been talking like 3-4 hrs everyday and its like an addiction. I have developed some sort of feelings for her. I have dropped hints suggesting about the feelings several times in the conversations .We do live in different continents and now that I know that she is my cousin I am not sure what to do about it . I have told her that I like to talk to her and am addicted and she said its the same with her. I am not sure where is this heading and dunno if she feels the same way.Am 22 and she is 20. How bad is it to have such feelings for a cousin ? Also should I let her know about these feelings ?

    Since your relationship with her is fairly distinct both genetically and socially the only recourse I see is from family stigmatization. Keep going at it secretly and if you both find yourselves still serious about it later on then tell your family about your horrible life of semi-cest (yeah I just made that up). Maybe they'll even support it. How liberal is your family? Not much? Then good luck with that. Otherwise try it out.

    Source(s): I find this sexually interesting so I say go for it. But seriously go for it.
