Poll: Cousin Lovin'

[Sacman]

Simple question is simple.
Would you date a close relative?

Edit: by close relative I mean related by blood, not by marriage...
Edit 2: also consider this...

This is kind of an interesting topic. I see a lot of "no it's gross and wrong" and I have no right to say that this is or isn't true, but I wonder if we can go a little deeper? Why exactly is it gross or wrong?

Obviously family breeding causes problems, but ruling out a pregnancy (lots of birth control nowadays) is there something about the relationship itself that is harmful? Thoughts, guys?

Also this...

That's pretty crazy. Umm....hell no.

But, I'm curious of why you ask?

If ur that curious I'll just tell you that one of my cousin's started coming on to me at a family reunion...

 

[MagicMouse]

if not blood related then .....maybe?

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Where is the "hellllll no" response?

 

[NeutralDrow]

How close? I'm assuming by the title that siblings are out of the question (as well they should be), but cousins aren't really off-limits...unless I grew up with them. Then it would be too weird.

Beyond that, I wouldn't be against it by my own values, though familial pressure would probably make me think twice.

 

[Judgement101]

Well this is a bit....errmmmm......f***ed up. If you vote yes then you are a sicko.

 

[Glamorgan]

Not blood related, no.

 

[Peteron]

Is she hawt? I am kidding....jeez....

First cousin ? definitely not, what are we? back to the 11th century ?

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

Thankfully I've never been attracted to any of my family to find out. People that remind me of people that I'm closely related with tend to turn me off. I'd have no chance with a skinny, pale, red-head with blue-eyes.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Why? First cousins can legally marry in several countries and US states, and I think they're the "closest" relatives being considered here.

 

[Marter]

No, I wouldn't. Wouldn't sit right with me.

 

[StBishop]

I hope the only answer that you get is either no or maybe a relative by marriage but not blood.

Otherwise it's gross.

 

[Yureina]

Considering I don't like any of my cousins? Not really. They all live really far away anyway.

 

[Juven Ignus]

Ehhhhh, maybe?
If inbredding and family hating me didn't count.

Spoiler: Someone urges you to reconsider that statement.

Well, the idea of it just sort of sickens me because it is sort of saying "Hey guys, I live in Alabama" (No offense meant to people who live in Alabama, I live in New England so I was sort of raised to think like that)

eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww Incest.....

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Where is the "hellllll no" response?

Never mind that, where's the Poll? I don't see a poll anywhere!

But in answer to the question, NO! Absolutely not.

EDIT: Nevermind, there it is.

It's legal in many U.S. States and in several other countries I can think of?

I do not get it but I laughed.
