I doubt I'd be able to resist if given the chance, no matter what my brain tells me.

even your sisters? I never had a sister and wouldn't know... but isn't it the same thought as mom?

I'm sure he'd go for it if they were his sisters too, but he meant the cousins are sisters.

I dont get these sickos. I guess the RETCH! gene was left out of some lines.
 
It would take an extremely freakin hot cousin to even make the thought imaginable, and I'm talking hotter than any woman I've ever seen. I know all my first cousins, or at least most of them, and none even come close. 2nd+ cousins, no problemo, I don't know any of them, and if I met one and she was super hot, why not.
 
i remember a graduation party for one of my wife's cousins. the graduate (cousin) was pretty drunk, came up to me and said, "she's so hot man. you're so lucky. she's so hot man." i told my wife later after the party and she was so embarrassed. all i could do now is laugh because everytime i see him at a party he looks so uncomfortable talking to me. if i remember correctly, his gf also heard about it and was none too happy with him. hehe.

From the sound of it, I'd do your cousins, too. Pics.

(assuming you're smart enough to use protection, and noone catches you in the act.)

(this post brought to you as part one of my "hypothetically.." series.)

That`s like asking if your sister was hot would you tap it....


😕

Uhhhhh, it's nothing like that.

sibling = 1/2 genetic relatedness
cousin = 1/32 (or is it 1/16?)

Hell, the aristocratic history of Europe is completely based on the 1st cousin tapability factor.

so why is a first cousin relationship such a taboo in our culture?

because pregnancy can lead to a really fucked up kid.

There are enough women out there not to risk that.

I don't think people even think about that at first.

because most people are weak-minded sheep. They will buy into something due to everyone else doing so, meanwhile they know nothing about the details.

No, it's b/c some extended family groups live in static isolation from the rest of the "modern world." It was in vogue for centuries more out of necessity than anything else. Hell, when you move out to the prairie and settle, only your extended family for miles and miles, who else are you going to shack up with?

Of course, this is no longer a necessity for the vast majority of the population, but there are those groups that simply haven't...exposed themselves to modernity, and prefer their backwoods Shan gri la.

EDIT: oh, I see you've already addressed this, more or less

you are right.
 
But what happens if they are related to each other? Consider the following: A parent transmits to their offspring one of the two copies they have of each gene. If one of the parents is a carrier, then the chances are 1/2 that their children will also be carriers. Given that cystic fibrosis is a relatively common genetic disease, it works out that the chances that two siblings will both be carriers of cystic fibrosis is 1/50, as compared to 1/625 for two unrelated persons. For first cousins, the risk is 1/200 and for second cousins, the risk is the same as if they were unrelated. PKU is a rarer genetic disease that if untreated, will cause severe mental retardation. The occurrence is 1/12000 live births. The chances that two unrelated people are carriers is 1/2500. For two siblings, the risk 1/100, for first cousins, it is 1/400 and for second cousins, it is 1/1600. Thus, the real risk is with brother-sister marriages, and to a lesser extent, first cousin marriages. Any relations beyond these are essentially at the same risk as the general population.

Maybe I'm bad at math, but I don't get it.

If x% of people have the evil bad nasty gene, what difference does it make how the gene is distributed?

For example, take a population of 10. Say 3 of them have the horrible BAD gene, and the other 7 are SAFE.

Hypothetical match up 1-

SAFE-BAD
SAFE-BAD
SAFE-BAD
SAFE-SAFE
SAFE-SAFE

No cousins mating with cousins here, so the BAD genes are spread out. Now assume each couple has 2 kids, odds are you get 3 kids in the next generation with the bad genes.

Hypothetical match up 2-

BAD-BAD
BAD-SAFE
SAFE-SAFE
SAFE-SAFE
SAFE-SAFE

Now some cousins are together. Assuming each couple has 2 kids, odds are you get 2.5 kids with bad genes, one of which has a 50% chance of having double bad genes. Sucks for the BAD-BAD grouping, but overall society actually has fewer bad genetics spreading.

the thing is, any given person is a potential carrier for several different "BAD" genes. within a family those particular "BAD" genes are going to be more prevalent than compared to general society.

genetic mixing with society at large, your bad genes are exposed to someone else's bad genes, but you don't have any matching ones so your kids are okay.

(at least, this is the way i understand basic genetics with regard to inbreeding)
