Is it ok to hug your cousin with her shirt pulled up?

Answer 1

OpinionThe real issue here is that the girl is your cousin, and touching her bare breasts is likely, sooner or later to lead to sexual intercourse. I think the original reference to The Bible is unclear, but probably not relevant.

Some accept marriage between cousins, but officially discourage it, while others say that marriage between first cousins is not permitted. What applies to marriage also, of course, applies to sexual intercourse. Even if you believe that your relationship will not lead to intercourse, you have to think about what your feelings for your cousin will be in later life if you have been fairly intimate with her - will you accept it, or will your relationship be clouded by guilt? If in doubt on any of these issues, stay way from this.

Finally, even if you do not plan to go any further, have you allowed for that eventuality? Do you understand how to use a condom and do you have one handy?
