Blue_Velvet agony auntCrushing on cousins happens. I had a crush on my cousin. We spent a lot of time together. I really liked him but never approached the situation because, well *cousins* and he was older. But, see, it's just that a crush. Those happen, it isn't unusual. Perhaps you two should spend some time apart?

The question 'is it wrong' isn't really something that anyone but you can answer. If your asking it, then you must feel on some level that it is wrong. It's actually more common than you might think, although it is an extremely not socially acceptable "lifestyle choice". With good reason actually.

My advice is DO NOT PUSH FOR SEX. No seriously, don't. Take some time, and go your separate ways. Gamine is right you are both pretty young and have the rest of your life ahead of you. You should both cool things off, if in six or seven years (I know it seems like a really long time, but dude, it's so not) you both still feel this way, even after all that time, and college then maybe as adults you'd be ready to face the problems that would await you should you make an INFORMED choice about what you are going to do.

You should know, that my personal thoughts aside, there are others out there like you. However health and other varying factors are important to consider. Go to your local library and look up some sites if you don't want it to be found on your home computer. http://www.andtheylivedhappilyeverafter.com/12.htm is a 'kissing cousins' as they call it, friendly site.

Take your time. Think things through, and don't do anything rash.

Good luck.

It's not wrong that you are cousins but it is wrong that you are going for sex at your ages, especially as you are in the US. According to your age category on here you have at least 3 years to wait.....
