That might make family gatherings horrendously awkward following a bad breakup. Imagine the dinner table conversation: Johnny, apologize to Suzy right now for stalking her. And Suzy, that wasn't nice of you to block Johnny on social media. Now kiss and make up you two! Blood is thicker than water, don't 'ya know!

Just wondering if there is an acceptable limit for dating someone in your own family? I think maybe 3rd cousins is okay and I'm sure that a ton of people have probably done so unknowingly.
In traditional family organization, your first cousin is the child of your aunt or nephew while your second cousin is a grand-niece or grand-nephew of your grandparents. And your son/daughter would be a third cousin of your second cousin's son or daughter.
So would it be okay for your son/daughter to date your grand-aunt/grand-uncle's grandchild's son/daughter?
So you recently attended a family funeral and met a hot looking cousin and your most primal carnal desires just woke up on you and you are wondering if you can go full Old Testament and bang her, right?
Shouldn't be a problem...
In Amerikkka, it's okay to have sex with your mom.

Why not? It worked for the Brojos parents.
It’s not like they’re illiterate bozos who can’t think or spell or anything.
Just use the back nine and you will be fine.
If it works for you guys, 2nd and 3rd cousins are game.

How did you conclude that "3rd cousins is okay"? NCBI estimates that birth defects in 3rd cousins is over 3 times higher compared to non-related persons.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10526655There is NO risk? Wow, then everyone should procreate with 2nd cousins and all birth defects would disappear!
The INCREASED risk is pretty low in absolute terms.

Not sure I would use anything Rudy does as evidence of it being ok...

Obviously what I meant is no risk as compared to anyone else in the general population.
But no, it's not a "pretty low" increased risk. There is no detectable increase in risk.
Wow, 3 pages of replies to this and nothing about running. You guys have a lot of time on your hands and a lot of dirty thoughts in your minds. So, let's through in Alberto Salazar or something, please!

That there is a surprising number of people here who are open minded and willing to look at the data and consider it as an empirical question rather than blindly competing to see who can act the most disgusted about a social taboo that's gone too far like most people would.
