Erotic fan-fic at its finest.
Second cousins hardly matters. Even 1st cousins only increase the chance of anomaly by 3%. 2nd cousins is background noise. If you make each other happy, go for it and let anyone who complains enjoy their divorces.
This guy fucks cousins.
Second cousins.
3% chance it’s his first cousins
94% incorrect.
Reminds me of the time I fucked my cousin a few times. She moved I now miss her.
Second cousins is kissing cousins, have at it!
This is the only one that isn’t fake
A lot of people here are saying that the more genetically similar you are to somebody, the more attractive they are (so long as you don’t grow up with them). I’m here to tell you that those guys are completely wrong
Studies have shown that (in other animals unfortunately, not in humans) that the more genetically dissimilar two individuals are, the more attracted they are, so long as they can produce viable offspring (aka they can have kids)
This study would also be done on humans, but that would be slightly morally questionable
This is an evolutionary trait in order to incentivise us to increase the gene pool when possible. You can imagine what would happen if we only rucked our cousins (look at the royals)

Oh man we did the Hapsburgs in my genetics class and it’s so fucking gross how closely related those incestuous fucks were. First cousins as closely related on a genetic level as siblings.
Edit: LOOK AT THIS UGLY FUCKER! Even better - these genetic monstrosities still have money.
I’m not comfortable condemning them for their crippling genetic disabilities (except where they perpetuate it), but they did do the majority of leading countries involved in WWI. And not only do these fucks still have money, they fund modern fascist movements and hateful propaganda as well as still being politically influential. The head of the family is an ambassador for the country his family took from superpower to “I could’ve sworn you were the kangaroo country”
I have zero sympathy for these folks - their genetic problems are wholly self induced and they are a literal cancer on this species.
Fuck 'em.
Nobody chooses the circumstances of their birth
And?
And despite the fact that they can renounce a large portion of their excessive wealth at any point, it’s not their fault that they’re rich? Something something?
Yeah you often strive for maximum compatible difference. There’s no instinct to create a family ladder
If that’s true then why do a lot of people only date the same race as them
Racism
Heh, second cousin is far enough.
Second cousin means cousin second order (grandchild of a sibling of one of your grandparents), right?
Another way I like to think of it is it’s your parent’s cousin’s kid. So you can see why from their perspective it would feel more closely related, it would be like you having a kid and your cousin having a kid and then you seeing them together.
Yeah, genetically don’t make a habit of it, but you’re probably fine (unless your grandparents are identical twins or has hapsburgs or something), but also I’d be super uncomfortable if it was my kid
A parent’s first cousin. Your first cousin’s child would be a first cousin once removed.
What really confuses me is your second cousins parent is also called your first cousin once removed.
Second cousin’s parent is great aunt/uncle
No, your great aunt/uncle is your second cousin’s grandparent.
Second cousin is your parent’s cousin’s child.
Your parent’s cousin’s parent is your parent’s aunt/uncle, which is your great aunt/uncle.
You’re parent’s cousin is your first cousin once removed.
Yes
Thanks!
Oh hey look. The story of how Rudy Giuliani found his wife!
Edit: ex wife, sorry forgot the church didn’t condone their boning like they wanted so they had to get a divorce.
Careful anon, that’s how you get a Habsburg child
I mean, probably not with a second cousin, unless you do it for hundreds of years. Greater risk of birth defects if you have children over 30.
Having children after 40 greatly increases chances of birth defects, I can only imagine what happens after hundreds of years.
Hmm, we’ll need to ask an elf…
And at this point, with all of the toxins from food processing/preservatives and the plastics getting into our bodies, the added risk is probably negligible.
“Got a rubber?”
“Nope, but I’ve got plenty of microplastics”
Microplastic is stored in the balls
It’s my theory this is what will be what wipes out humanity, not climate change.
Slowing ourselves down this way may be for the best. We’re starting to see inverted population age (more older than younger) in some countries, so we’ll need to solve that structural problem at least.
Why not both?
To be honest though, there’s always going to be a risk of birth defects if you’re having more than 30 kids.
If you have them like 5 at a time, you’ll probably get a pretty good crop before age sets in.
Yeah even first cousins are actually not that bad, biologically speaking, if it’s only done for one (or probably even two?) generation.
Yup, and AFAIK, it’s legal in some areas to have kids with your first cousin.
Probably legal in more places than it’s illegal
It is, in fact, legal more places than not. Cousin marriage was extremely common for thousands of years. It only really started to drop off when people started owning cars and could meet people from further away. Most places still haven’t changed their laws because the cultural change was so recent, and because it’s low risk enough that it’s not a serious concern if it’s just once in a while rather than, say, medieval European royalty shenanigans.
AFAIK the risk is about the same as having a kid after 40.
That happened to a few of my cousins years ago. We were at a family function so I thought they would’ve put two and two together, but alas.
A few? Not just two??
They just got a good vibe, you know?
They just got a good vibe, you know?
Like one of those Rose Toys? 😏
Sounds like it, cuz.
I saw that after pressing send and thought to myself, ah, no one’ll pull me up on that.
It’s ok I wouldn’t want to admit it if my family reunion turned into an orgy either
banjos quietly play in the background
Softly in the night
Beetles in the firelight
Eh second cousin marriage isn’t a big deal in some cultures
*Most of cultures
Stop watching porn
This isn’t even kinky, you vanilla bean
No.
I used to work with this absolute idiot when I was a kid. He was married to his cousin. But apparently he was such a gross dude, that it was too much for her, so she left him. For his brother. She ended up having a couple kids, one with each brother.
Talk about going out of your way to keep it in the family. Their family tree was tied in a knot.
