I hate to admitt it, but I have an Aunt who is dating her cousin. The cousin is adopted so he is technically not blood related. I dont talk to that side of the family at all anyway. They are the laughing stock of my family. Definitely some Jerry Springer stuff going on over there on that side.
Still a bit weird, but if they're not genetically related, I don't see a problem with it.
Ancient Greeks and Romans chose siblings or cousins as spouses. I can understand that since maybe there weren't a billion people roaming the planet. Given the multitude of available choices outside the bloodline, I find no reason why I would need to date my 3rd cousin.
Try to imagine a scenario where you meet a cousin you never met before you suddenly fall in love for him/her, would you?
As for me. it would seem a little bit weird if I grew up together and they feel to me as siblings. If I have never seen them before, they would certainly not feel like close relatives,,.
If many other species are doing it, then I suppose it might be acceptable for humans? lol just joking
Hey, that's one of the many things the whole gay/lesbian movement uses "It is seen in nature among animals, so why not see homosexuality as someting acceptable as well?" Animals don't have age restrictions either so, imagine what's next .
It's all about being open minded, celebrating diversity, accepting differences, rejecting hate, loving one another, etc. right?
