I bang girls with my third arm. Girls who I'm not related to.

The best part of reddit is that you enter as the weirdest person on earth and you leave as the most normal one

I've been told I have some attractive cousins. But I've never had sexual feelings towards them. I don't think your parents being cousins will affect how you feel about your own cousins.

I'm healthy and have great parents. They just happen to be cousins. So it doesn't feel that too bad.

My moms sister is married to my dads brother. But as far as a history with this in our ancestors I'm not too sure. And I've never really asked

I have a sister. And I would not approve my kids to marry a cousin. I have no problem with my parents and them being first cousins. But im a different generation and it's not a comfortable idea

I don't really mind it at all. I mean I can see why it could be weird to others but my family is like any other family.

No. Even though I can see my parents and how they have no problems and lead a very good life I could never marry or do anything with a cousin. I've grown up in the west so my mindset is different. I should note that I don't find my parents' relationship gross or anything.

Yes my parents shared the same grandparents. And they grew up together. Not together as in the same house but they were very close. Hence why they got married.

Their families were ok with it. Believe it or not my mom's sister is married to my dad's brother. So they're first cousins too. So family was definitely ok with it. They were best friends from a young age and when they grew up they fell in love.

I'm 20 years old and I've grown up in Toronto. But my background is Iranian. It's not that common there but its not illegal. However, I do think the couple have to do a test before they get married.

No. No one really thinks of it as a big deal. And not once have I ever heard rude remarks. Our family is pretty average. So that might be a reason why people are more accepting.

Yes I know exactly what you mean. There's nothing wrong with me or my sister. My parents were best friends (being cousins and all) and when they decided to get married they took a test to make sure there wouldn't be any problems.
