Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
Better Orgasms. Better World.
I had the biggest crush on my 1st cousin, Miles, growing up. He was blond and lived in Laguna Beach. We must have been 7 or 8 years old and we decided to play wedding. It was then that our parents explained why first cousins couldn't marry: you'd have deformed children. We still played wedding the entire trip.
As it turns out, the risk of 1st cousins having genetically deformed childrens is quite low. The Journal of Genetic Counselling findings (based on studies of thousands of births over 35 years) showed risks of between 1.7% and 2.8% above the background risk for congenital or genetic abnormalities for copulating cousins. There's even a website cousincouples.com dedicated to famous cousin hook ups.
I guess I could have married Miles all along. We would have made a great couple but oh well. My favorite incestuous couple - Bob and Gisselle - will have to respresent for all happily coupled first cousins.
