You seriously wish you did? My opposite sex first cousins are like brothers to me. Nope, it would never even enter my mind.

3rd cousin is fine. I have no idea who my third cousins are.

I know first cousins who are married (in another country) and it's been no big deal. They had genetic testing and their kids are fine.

see, this is why people make jokes about VA.

It's legal in Maryland too. And several other states

I've never heard these jokes about VA. I hear them about West Virginia, but marrying your cousin is actually illegal there.

I think 3rd cousin is fine, especially if you didn't really grow up together, seeing each other at family events, etc. I don't think I've ever met a 3rd cousin--if I had happened to meet one some other way (like in college or at a bar or something) and fell in love with them, I'd have married them.

3rd cousin is fine. You are both in your 40s. You won't be having kids. Who cares? It's fine.

Most people couldn't name a third cousin of theirs if they tried. Go for it.

Third cousin is fine.

I know my 3rd cousins, and my fourth, that’s gross.

This is so gross.

Depends. It is cultural. Usually it is pretty icky to think of someone who could be brother/father/uncle/cousin/grandfather/son/nephew by blood as a sexual partner.

I think that's ok, but as a PP stated, just don't broadcast it.

Greta Scaachi is a fairly famous actress who married her first cousin. They even had a child. I wouldn’t do it.
