In Portugal it's legal to marry your first cousin and I know a few couples who are first cousins and married. I don't think it's a big deal but that's a cultural thing.
I don't agree with sibling with sibling though, that's not legal here. The familial proximity is too close, genetically speaking. That's the only reason I can see to condemn it.
Sometimes you can't help who you like - I don't see any reason to get on a high-horse and preach to people about it.
I have never wanted to "lay" any of my cousins, because I personally get the "ick" factor going just thinking about it in any remote way. But that's me.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
