Would you sleep with your cousin?

bubbles · 25-02-2002 2:09pm #1

Was having a conversation with someone last night, about stuff, and the topic of going out with one of your cousins came up.

Myself, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. but my friend was saying that they wouldn't dare go out/sleep with a cousin. I don't even know if its legal or anything, and I know it is hitting a bit close towards home... but why not?

So, this poll is just to see what the general attitude towards it is..

My vote is yes!

Bubbles, have ya not seen the film 'Deliverance'?
the gene pool is a bit too close for comfort!!

Lenny · 25-02-2002 2:15pm

Its not illegal

amp · 25-02-2002 2:16pm

If she was a imported russian member of the Powerpuff Girls then I'd probably go for it.

meglome · 25-02-2002 2:17pm

1. Had I been drinking
2. Were they attractive

Immediate family and first cousins are legally out of bounds. Anything after that is allowed by the state.

Fúck no.

koneko · 25-02-2002 3:06pm

Ew God no.

A little too close to home. Also seems a little too close to being an inbred redneck.

Zero · 25-02-2002 3:32pm

fire away bubbles, if you dont mind your kids being born with webbed feet....

bubbles · 25-02-2002 3:41pm

Whoa.... slow down here people... who said anything about children? I'm just talking about sex here!

beardedchicken · 25-02-2002 3:43pm

a specific cousin, or just the concept of shagging any cousin in general?

in either case, no....you obviously havent seen my cousins!
*shudder*

Kairo · 25-02-2002 3:43pm

Hell yeah. Your not russian are you bubbs?

Who said anything about kids?

Xterminator · 25-02-2002 3:53pm

In theory shagging a cousin is not a problem to me.

In practise , its more trouble than its worth.

Thorbar · 25-02-2002 4:28pm

Irish_Ranger_IR · 25-02-2002 4:39pm

It really is disturbing how many people have replied with "maybe" type answers.

I don't have many rule in life, but sleeping with my cousin, well, that just brings up the old "If you have to ask then" you're probably a muppet.

gwan bubbles!

Dont be at yourself · 25-02-2002 6:44pm

Yep. In fact, I have done so. More than once too.

WhiteWashMan · 25-02-2002 6:48pm

im quiet curious to find out if your cousin would sleep with you bubbles.
come to think of it, im not really....

bubbles · 25-02-2002 7:03pm

Your dad could be my fathers long lost brother WWM.....

logic1 · 25-02-2002 7:17pm

Too right I would.

The_Scary_Man · 25-02-2002 7:17pm

It's not illegal but if you want to get married in a catholic church you need to get a dispensation from the Pope, I know a guy who married his cousin.

As to whether or not I would do it then I probably would, if I was drunk and she was coming on to me. Having said that a cousin of mine was over from England a few months ago and tried it on but I declined, she was a bit of a minger like hehe.

Men are known to have seriously low seriously sales resistence, I mean how many lads here have slept with women they weren't attracted to just because it was offered on a plate?

Allow me to be the first to hold my hand up and if I had a few more hands I'd hold them up too.

Hey waddya gonna do?

I think the question should be:

billy the squid · 26-02-2002 3:10am

Karl Hungus · 26-02-2002 6:01am

Poll is very close.... as I imagined. Least I know I'm not that ****ed up now

BigMac · 26-02-2002 12:51pm

My cousin slept with my other cousin at a family re-union........
Full marks to him she was well fit..... and a far out cousin that lives in Aus or somewhere, its not as if we are going to see her very often.
Personally no... not knowingly!!!!!

kayos · 26-02-2002 1:05pm

Good god no Kharns not my type

But on a more serious note I would still say no. I can not really explain why (just can not put it in words) but I must have some reason

I remember reading a while back that it's a bit of a myth that your children will be deformed if you sleep with a sibling or a cousin. It's deeper into the family - like second or third cousins - where problems arise, apparently. I could be wrong, though - can anyone provide facts? I know for definite anyway that in some tribes the perfect sex partner for a 16 year old boy (for his first time) is his father's sister. Also in these tribes, the person they are expected to marry is their cross-cousin - eg. if it is a boy - then he is supposed to marry his mother's brother's daughter. And they don't produce deformed children at all.

Check this out, just out of interest.

As for me - when I was about 9, I had a crush on my handsome much-older cousin. He's now in Mountjoy though, so I think a relationship is out of the question.

No seriously, I don't think I would. it would freak out the family and besides, none of my cousins are attractive to me.

inbreeding increases the chance of a defect showing up, one generation of inbreeding is unlikly to cause a defect that would not turn up in children of non inbred parents... however in cases of heavyer inbreeding, damage starts to show up more... just look a "pure" breed dogs...

children of brother/sister matches have an increased chance of developing any thing that their perents are carring, but if the brother/sisters dont have many defects then the chance of one showing up is slim...

children of first cousins are less likly to have defects, than brothersister children.

children of second(or higher) cousins are even less likly to have problems...

and once(or twice) removed means cousin by marage and usualy is the same as a total stranger ...

having said all this, each time there is inbreeding the chnces of a defect are going to go up ... which means more people carrying the defect meaning more chances of an inbreed child devleoping a problem... see point on brother/sister children

all in all from a biological point of veiw a small amount of inbreeding is ok... sometimes handy ...as it increases the chance of a good mutaion carring on as well as a bad... but as we've lost those things that would cull out dangerous mutations , its not adviseable ...

Hum but from a moral point of veiw you do have to ask, if there are no children invlolved (its just sex wth no repoduction) then is is ok?... I would have to say it's a perversion ... but what is'nt :-)

This is, of course, illegal, even to just have the sex.

Apparently one of the British royals married his cousin, they only had 4 grandparents between them (as opposed to eight). A number of the resulting children weren't acknowledged to exist until they were in their 70s, due to their medical / genetic condition.

Aspro · 26-02-2002 4:16pm

No, but I'd sleep with yours:)

EvilGeorge · 26-02-2002 4:23pm

most of the royal famialys from around europe are related ... Inbreeding is a hugh problem amounst them... not becaues they often marrying first cousins but because they're all distant (and not so distant) cousins ...
so when they do marry first cousins they are already messed up and carring defects... increasing the chance of major problems...

You've got it the wrong way around. The reason WHY shagging a family member or 1st cousin is illegal is all to do with genetics.

The further down the chain you go (2nd/3rd/34th) cousin the less likely deformaty is likely to occur.
