Is it ok to feel attracted to your second cousins?

ok, please keep anon, but i went to a wedding where my two second cousins were at the same table as us, and i couldn't stop noticing them, and couldn't stop thinking about one of them, is this incest? :confused:

YOU NASTY!

As you can gather from my sophisticated response, yes it is very much incestuous and I suggest you stop looking at her or one day you will try to come unto him/her and then before you know it you're disowned, broke and alone :holmes:

Too many cousin threads today. Is it ok? Well society says it isn't. Whether you think it is, is up to you.

No, it's absolutely fine. Seriously, it's fine. Some people in your family might disagree or have a go at you, but biologically, lawfully, and morally... it's absolutely fine.

What kind of second cousins. As in, the daughters of the sibling of your non-blood related uncle/auntie? Or the children of one of your cousins...?

I LOLed at the way he used "that"

It's not like you can measure "relatedness", they're either related or not, black or white, no grey areas.

We only share on average 1/32 of our inherited genetic material with our second cousins, which isn't really that much. Compared to brothers and sisters, which would have around a half, and first cousins which would have around 1/8, it isn't something to worry about.
