Every known human culture has a prohibition of incest but what counts as incest varies by culture. Marrying a cousin, even a first cousin, is perfectly legal in Canada and many other countries, and fine in many religions, even though a lot of Canadians think it is "gross".
It may be true that strangers are sexier because they're mysterious, but it's also true that a relative might be a lot easier to get along with and build a life with, because you would share a lot of the same culture and expectations.

Adam and Eve's children married each other and had offspring. Definitionally that means their grandchildren also married and had offspring. JUST SAYING. @ServantOfTheGoddess

@rhouse Yup. And even from a secular scientific perspective the first groups of homo sapiens were likely very small and close relatives would have had children with each other.

@rhouse Yeah, but get the religious folks to discuss that. I asked the nuns about it and almost got suspended from school. 😅

I am not defending one way or another but I don't like statements that don't hold up to scrutiny. @ServantOfTheGoddess

@bijouxbroussard Depends which religious folks. It's no secret at all in Jewish bible commentary.
