Is sex with a first cousin incest?

[Infantry#14]

what is the difference between first, second, third.....nth cousin?

 

[Firstlady]

Your cousin gets married and has kids. Those kids are your second cousins and so on and so forth.

so that means the nth cousin and I share the last common ancestor n+1 generations ago?

It means that the likelihood of producing an offspring with congenital defects is very low.

n could equal 1.

 

[Dr.Mindbender]

n could equal 1.

how's so? Sorry I did not know that. I thought it signify a variable or something

he did include the word "generations"

Me and my sister? She is attractive, but i would probably get shred into pieces. (i'm a pretty strong guy and she is even stronger and she is such a lightweigth)
and, for crying out loud, it's a sister...

Now first cousins, since they are almost all boys except for one girl..

and even then, i never would. the thought alone makes me cringe, as if my already defunct genes tell me, "that's it, you do it with her, i'll be pissed and i'm going to make sure it's going to be a "Trig" "

But, the daughter of the ex-husband of a stephsister of mine, she's 17 now, and i haven't seen her in years, but i saw her a couple of days ago, and my first thought was, "that ass". Since we wouldn't be related by blood, it would be "ok" to hit it.

still, i think that would still be a horrendous tabboo.

I recall reading a study out of Britain by a group of genetic specialists that as far as offspring goes, it is safe to mate with a first cousin but only if you are both related through your fathers.

I guess that makes some kind of sense. All the good stuff is on the x chromosome.

 

[sysyphus]

Maybe, we but determine just how many x chromosomes one gets.

 

[Squonk]

I;ve never thought of it as something wrong until a guy in Syria, after seeing a picture of me and my then-15yo-blond-blue-eyed cousin asked me if I'd want to marry her. That was a shock. Still, if someone wants to do it, be my guest.

Technicalities, oh technicalities...

 

[raketooy]

Sex with a first cousin is a bit creepy but if both people want it then go on IMO. I wouldn't ever do it, though.

 

[Love]

I think its enough having the same grandparents.

You're taking this wayyyy to personally man. And most of us would consider it a given that you don't want to do your sister so you don't need to point it out.

First Cousins share a set of grandparents.
Second Cousins share a set of great-grandparents.
Third Cousins share a set of great-great-grandparents. And so forth.

It's believed by some that it's impossible to be more distanly related to someone than 50th cousin, probably with some exceptions of primitive tribes in the middle of nowhere.

 

[Zelig]

The possibility of the genetic mistakes being on both sides is far greater the closer in the family they are together, which is why I would try and stay away from anyone remotely related to me.

Everyone is remotely related to you. Your most distant relationship on the planet is something around your 2000th cousin, and that's probably someone is an isolated tribe in South America.

It's believed by some that it's impossible to be more distanly related to someone than 50th cousin, probably with some exceptions of primitive tribes in the middle of nowhere.

It's more then this, but the max distance in relations decreases greatly in the general population as compared to isolated populations. And the max # of steps overall, and average number of distance is decreasing as globalization progresses.

The Koreans have a tradition where you cannot marry a person with the same surname as you that happens to live within a 6 block radius of your home.

It doesnt matter where you move or live, you just cant.

And that must suck alot because like 40% of all Koreans are Kims

Cousins, up to like 4th cousin or so are still bad, but each additional generation between gets better.

For proof of why incest(marriage between cousins) is bad, just look how far it got the latter hapsburg rulers and their deformed offspring.

If you are jealous of them, you can become them too!

a) habsburg, hapsburg is the villian in naked gun.

b)yeah, you should probably not make babies with your first cousin if 3 generations before you have done the same...

Oh, come on guys! I bet most of you have had sexual fantasies about your first cousins or sisters. You are just too ashamed to admit it. But there is nothing wrong in being attracted to close relatives. Relatives could be just as attractive as anyone else. Mating potential includes many more important factors than genetic hygiene after all.

yeah, but she actually is my step first cousin.
