+155 If you think the world started with two people, having sex with anyone is some form of incest, amirite?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

incest is defined as: the crime of sexual intercourse, cohabitation, or marriage between persons within the degrees of consanguinity or affinity wherein marriage is legally forbidden.

So does it count as incest to bang your second cousin?

Some states dont even have it that far I believe. Also your like 54th cousins with everyone (I forgot what V-Sauce said but it was along that number)

This. I think it's around 50, no one is more than a 50th cousin of anyone on Earth. Depending where you live it's probably closer - for example, I'm a white Australian and my dads side of the family has been here for more than four generations, probably more but that's as far as I know. If I have sex with another white Aussie who's been here for several generations, we're probably 20th cousins or something. Just to be clear, I'm not saying that siblings or first cousins have sex is the same as having sex with anyone, even though anyone is your cousin just in different degrees, because obviously its not the same thing. Also in most places, first cousins are legal, incest laws mostly apply to siblings, parent-child and uncle/aunt-niece/nephew.

Knew it was close to 50. And proximity can have a lot to do with it but I do know that two men in Africa can have greater genetic diffrence than, lets say, myself and a man from China.

Because you totally knew that before voting on the post, right?

We're all incestuous, just in different degrees.

Not those of us who are never alone. My cover story is that I don't want to be incestuous--it's for the children, really.
