You seem to be under the impression that this is up to you, and that cousin will definitely be into the idea of having sex with her first cousin. You might want to consider the possibility that she will find the idea horrifying.
Time changes a lot of things, maybe this thread belongs in retirement, but the question remains, Should You date your first cousin ? I have that opportunity I am sure, yet still feel a bit like it's wrong, not sure why, considering we are in our senior years and loanly people. I would like to know how others would approach this .
"Dating"??
Do you mean as entering into an intimate relationship? and you are "in your senior years"?
Go for it. I see absolutely no reason for either of you to deny yourself some happiness, if that is what you both want.
Go out to dinner, or to a movie, go clubbing, whatever, and see what develops.
Remember, "Life is short, eat dessert first!"

This has already been discussed on these threads. Also , not every relationship is just about sex ether. Romance does not always include sex, especially when the subjects are in their senior years.
I did correct the post a while back in that there are three of us generational cousins left, not two. The third cousin has always been in the loop . I would never consider a romantic relationship with this third cousin.

Oh I apologise I haven't read the entire thread or any vital parts it seems.
I went more by the title of the thread

You shouldn't have children by relatives with the same DNA. I'd say that ship has flown. Spend the rest of your time enjoying each other's company.
They don't have "the same" DNA - for that they'd have to be identical twins...parent and child is 50%, first cousin is 12.5%, first cousin once removed is 6.25%. It is a matter of degree... you probably share SOME DNA with your own spouse (if married)..especially if you happen to both be from the same small town or isolated area. Shocking!
But again, they are senior citizens...are you really against them having genetic issues with kids or is that just a proxy for the "ick factor" that they are minimally related?
The ick factor is that he seems excited about this woman BECAUSE she is his cousin, not in spite of it.
maybe she looks like an older Sofia Vergara.
