Dating a sibling, uncle/aunt, cousin, child, or parent is quite unacceptable (and quite disgusting). Mind you I don't think this is me being prudish. I have no problem with two men having relations. I have no problem with people of much different ages having relations. I have no problem with S&M or other kinky type stuff. This is different.
As stated before: I see this as being similar to dating a half sibling (one parent shared). It's wrong.

My mom had a falling about with my grandparents about 15 years ago. I have first cousins that I haven't seen since before then, and only saw them probably 6 times prior. I'm pretty certain that my upbringing was very little like theirs; I imagine that other than sharing grandparents I would have little in common with them.
Hypothetically, if I met one of them now and was in a position to date/have sex with them, would it be wrong?
(No cousin sex for me. Although I learned at my wedding that I had hooked up with one of my wife's cousins from another province.)
