Heh, I thought about that too.

C.P.E. might be no Johann Sebastian, but damn if he wasn't talented and gifted. Mozart called him the 'father of the piano', as indeed he was one of the first great pianists in the mid-late 18th century).

Yep. Just double wrap it. But if worse comes to worse, it's not like you are going to have a deformed child.


Ya, it'd be quite unlikely. But I'd double wrap with anyone I have a common ancestor with :D

Recent medical studies have shown that there isn't much of a medical impediment to mating with one's cousin. It is a societal tabboo in the USA but cousins marrying is quite common in Europe for example.

I've got quite a few 2nd cousins and let me say there's NO WAY I'd hit any of them EVAR.

C'mon guys. These are the types of situations that hookers are for.

Do you live the rest of your life as a virgin OR do you give it up and live with the shame of having done the nasty with your second cousin?

in my society cousins marrying is pretty normal. my parents are cousins. i recently attended a wedding of first cousins. (i mean daughter of one brother marrying sone of other brother).

while i consider cousin marriage to be a stupid move cuz of the genetics involved (with all the bad recessive genes coming into play)

i would personally not do anything, cuz i am vowed to celibacy till marrige. however i would get married ASAP and then "F" her brains out.

Still seems ssomewhat creepy but you are not very closely related to a second cousin.
