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?
First of all, ruling out a pregnancy isn't that easy but If you do then I see no logical reason as to why the 2 people could not date so I agree with what Majinary is saying.
My point of view on the relationship itself is that if the two people like eachother, then the relationship should succeed dispite the blood relationship between them.
BUT... As I said before I would not date any of my family members. The
idea of dating a family member is perfectly ok to me but I would not do it. All of my close family members who are female and around my age, I would have no interest in dating. Now I'm not sure if I'm right about this, but this is my theory on the matter, and I think it probably applies to more than just me.
I have known my female cousins and relations since I was born. I have known them since before I thought of any women in a sexual way and before the idea of dating had ever entered my mind. It is the same with the girls I went to primary school with. When I see them (Cousins and former classmates) I subconciously think of them the way I always have, with no attradtion towards them.
So by my theory, if I ever meet a close relevite for the first time in a few years then I suppose I could be attracted to them.
