    I had this cousin, used to hang out all the time when were like, four.

    Then due to living in Germany we don't see each other for almost a decade, until I'm 12 or 13 and we fly back stateside for a funeral and I'm all "Oh man who's the cute redhead?"

    Dad didn't let me live that down for weeks.

    Let's consider the implications of a word like “motherfucker”, which may be sexist, sexualist, and bring up non-incest privilege

    Swordfights your story was from when you were like 12 and you made it very clear you made sure nothing happened

    I feel like Trentsteel's story was more...ambiguous

    Trent didn't even say his cousin was hitting on him

    he just asked the forum if he should sleep with her

    as long as it's consensual and their union does not produce a child that is likely to be defective then what reason does anyone have to care who someone bones

  • -Tal-Tal Registered User regular
    if you're close enough that you actually know how you are related

    don't fuck your cousin

    Oh when I was in quebec I rode a elevator with some guy from school who was drunk with a girl also from.

    As I get off and he says "hey wanna come tag team my cousin?"

    I was like wat

    Hey, to be fair, we have world-class cousins up here.

    Do you have any idea how boring family reunions can be? Gotta pass the time somehow.

    actually there's been some research which shows that inbreeding isn't a serious concern even with first cousins

    the main reason people are uncomfortable about cousin sex is because of a psychological effect that happens when kids grow up together

    I don't remember what it's called but basically when you spend a significant part of your childhood with someone you tend to develop a sexual block around them

  • -Tal-Tal Registered User regular
    it is very strange to me that first cousin marriage is more prevalent than same-sex marriage in the US

    but maybe this is just my non-incest privilege talking

    it's not incest

    it's not even genetically or evolutionarily unsound

    it just weirds people out because of leftover hysterics from the 19th century

    mixing familial dynamics with sex always works out well

    Yeah, basically it's like parental imprint. When you're really young, your brain remembers people of the opposite sex you spend a lot of time with and blocks sexual attraction. The mechanism is mostly there to prevent parents from fucking their children.

    And in modern days you tend to see your first cousins a lot more than you did a few centuries ago, so it's gotten creepier for most people to even consider it. Then that creepy factor made its way into law.

    So today I logged onto the penny arcade forums and inside a "weirdest thing you have witnessed" thread, a whole bunch of people were talking about how screwing your cousins was cool. So I made this post because it was pretty surreal. This is some meta shit right here.

    [Keanu] Whoa [/Keanu]

    when I was in boot camp there was a Dominican guy who had fucked his cousin

    I forget how it came up, but it did

    and someone said, "...wait. You fucked your cousin?"

    "Yeah."

    "Why?!"

    "Because, she looked good, mang!"

    it's more than just the genetic risks for offspring, though

    I mean why did you say that it's okay for gay first cousins to fuck but not gay siblings or parent/child

    because baby steps

    wait, you're really going to equate cousins fucking to siblings fucking or parents and offspring fucking?

    really?

    Not really. Finding examples in the rest of the animal kingdom to try and support your stance on why humans should or shouldn't do something is always a weak argument.

    Man I don't think I'd even recognise any of my cousins at this point

    Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.
