Sexual tension between cousins in a film

(Post from August 2014)

Well, it’s one-sided, but I read the book and the guy definitely has a thing for his cousin Vivian. But this is not canon and he is not the nicest person… so it’s a kind of weird example but still counts as sexual tension at least. In this story, the cousin dynamic is not healthy…. it’s kind of toxic. The above are clips from movie Blood and Chocolate.

Rafe and Vivian are cousins. I know they weren’t meant to be together (mostly because the guy was an asshole and the girl wasn’t interested) but I can’t help thinking they would’ve made a super beautiful couple if the feelings were mutual. ^-^ Plus I have a soft spot for troubled male characters… and tough girls. Vivien’s so hot.

Are you dating your COUSIN?

(This was a casting call from August 2014)

lescasting:

Against all odds and everyone’s opinion, are you dating, marrying or involved with your COUSIN? Are you tired of disapproving family, jokes about your relationship and want to clear the air? Or perhaps you’ve kept your cousin-romance a secret and want to share your story?

We’re casting cousins…

This might be worth checking out for some of you. It would probably be best to e-mail them and find out the details of the project first, however, before you give out your information – just to protect your privacy and make sure you know the terms.

Coming out and educating people about these relationships can play such an important role in challenging discrimination and overriding ignorance. Just look at how far the LGBTQ community has come, by sticking together and being open about their identities.

No doubt it would take a lot of courage, but if you live somewhere where being with your cousin is legal and you don’t risk prosecution for discussing it openly, I urge you to consider participating. For the sake of others who are like you that are not so fortunate. Take advantage of these opportunities. People are capable of changing their minds for the better. Putting a face to the issue can make the difference between creating a more accepting society for you to live in and being pushed further into the closet by people who’s ignorance remains unchallenged.

They know the myths. Only you know the reality.

[Submission from enbylebeau to rainbowamory blog in July 2014] enbylebeau asked: Hi I saw post 90807768009 and wondered if you ever saw August: Osage County? The ending is pretty miserable for everyone involved, but there IS a very sympathetic consanguinamorus (sp?) couple.

Hi, were you referring to the ‘difference of degrees’ post? I haven’t seen that film. I’ve heard of it, but it didn’t really look like my kind of movie (just by the description) so I didn’t watch it. Though maybe sometime I will, if you recommend it. My personal interest in consanguinamory is centered around cousin couples, however I do try to learn about other kinds when I can, just to open my mind more. Thank you for the message. 🙂 Feel free to chat anytime.

….Ok, I finally watched it on a whim. I was confused why you didn’t say what kind of consanguinamorous couple specifically. After having watched it, I think it was best I didn’t know beforehand or it would’ve been a spoiler. You were right. The ending was pretty unhappy. But honestly, I expected worse for some reason… The characters are going to be damaged because of the secrets in the family but at least they’re alive to try and begin the healing, if possible. I was also relieved to hear Ivy say that she’s still sticking to her plan of going away with Little Charles. Shows the depth of her love.

NOT a Good Reason to Deny (Consanguineous) Love #19

fullmarriageequality:

“There are so many people outside of your family. Go marry/have sex with one of them, instead. It creates friendships between families.” There are plenty of people within one’s own race, too, but that is no reason to ban interracial marriage. I have many friends outside of my family to whom…

Reblogging for my new followers.

Thank you so much for writing this, fullmarriageequality!! Now I had something to refer someone to… someone on YouTube. You said a lot of the things I wanted to say as well, so I left a link for this person to follow, along with this message on their YouTube page:

I saw a video you made awhile ago where you were saying that people who are related shouldn’t be romantically involved with each other because they are harming the ‘genetic health’ of the human race. I left a comment but not sure it showed up… I used to admire you a lot but after you said that I was very disappointed in who I thought you were… Maybe you can take a look at this link, because it might show you this topic from an angle you didn’t consider before: http://fullmarriageequality.tumblr.com/post/82327461255/not-a-good-reason-to-deny-consanguineous-love-19            I’m part of the lgbtq community too, but I don’t draw lines for other people’s love lives because I wouldn’t want them doing that to me. Just because you don’t understand consanguinamorous relationships doesn’t mean it’s ok to dictate how they should live and love. As for making children, that’s their business. No one can control whole generations of humanity’s ‘health’ and that has nothing to do with their freedom to LOVE. As long as they get tests done to weigh the risks before  having their own kids and raise them the best they can, that’s all they are responsible for. When people fall in love they don’t think about the ‘genetic health’ of the whole human race.. and they shouldn’t have to. they are only responsible for making sure their own family is healthy if they decide to have one. And after that, their children are responsible for the families they make, etc.
