Ok so I know how the title makes this sound, like either a romantic story or a childish crush, but its not. I've known my cousin since i was 2 and he was 4, so there is no problem with the age difference since its only two years. the problem lies that before I turned 13 i used to consider him and the other two guy cousins in our age group like a bunch of big brothers and nothing more. But then one night, i was 13 and he was 15, he....kissed me. not a little kid kiss either, it was really passionate. and i have been kissed before and i even had a boyfriend at the time, but i had never felt like this before. our relationship is still going and when others ask i always say that no IMO not seeing someone, that i like someone and am not interested in a relationship with anyone else. Now i am 15 and he is about to turn 17 and i feel more confused than i did when this whole thing started. No body knows about us, but I'm not sure if there is an us....maybe he just wants a sexual relationship. so far we've gotten pretty far, but not all the way. he's touched me in private places more than once (with my consent, just in case) and I've touched him. he's the only guy Ive gone this far with, but its long distance. he lives in a country in South America and i live in Florida. I don't know what to do, especially knowing that he has had many girlfriends and is considered a common playboy, but i don't like him for his looks....at least, not only. its also for his personality and we've never told each other we loved each other....but up till now Ive felt that we expressed it enough. But...i don't know if I'm right or if its just wishful thinking. i mean, maybe he just wants the aforementioned sexual relationship with me and I'm the idiot that's falling for him and making our situation more than it is....or maybe we both feel the same way. I'm not sure anymore. Can anybody help me see the light of day?

While I can't relate to your situation, love or the feeling of love is very strong. However, given the circumstances..the fact he is your cousin, he lives so far away, is considered a "playboy", then I would say that maybe this is not really the most ideal position you could put yourself in. Kisses happen, so do other things, but it's also within your power to stop. You have to ask yourself if this what you really want to do at such a young age? You may feel this way because you were so close, and he was around, and then one thing leads to another and you develop feelings. For me, I would try to concentrate on people your age, in your country, and not related to you. I think that for now it may be the best idea.
You can do what you will, but think about the longterm, and think about the person you are dealing with. Is your cousin the guy you want to have sex with? It's very real that if you get him out of the picture, you will live a life with other boys and be perfectly happy with the outcome.
1I can relate to your situation in the sense that I too have feelings for a cousin. We are not blood-related in any way (well, that I know of! - I'm adopted) We are older than you and your cousin. I am currently in a serious relationship with my cousin (2 years), and most of our family and friends approve. We also are currently in a long-distance relationship.
2However, I don't want to give you false hope. From what I gather, it sounds that you and your cousin have feelings for one another. But when you say that he is known as a playboy in his country, then that should ring some bells for you. I'm not trying to discount your feelings for him, but I fear that perhaps he just has sexual feelings for you. If you were to step into a relationship with him, be wary of what his feelings really are. For him to just to want to have sex with you would obviously be detrimental to you, and assuming that your family knew about the relationship (or maybe not), it could cause problems within the family.
I just want you to take those factors into consideration. You need to consider how it will effect you, and maybe even question your own feelings for him. I think that you should consider dating other boys and seeing where that leads to. While some may disagree with me, if you're meant to be together with him perhaps you will end up together later on down the road when you two have experienced other relationships.
I wish you the best of luck in trying to make sense of your situation!!
Am I the only one who is thinking uhm, no, he's your family and that's gross? Find a boy who is not a family member and get over this crush. Nothing good will come of it.
3So you're experimenting sexually with a relative and hoping it turns into something more than a sexual relationship, even though you know that he's a playboy? I think you're barking up the wrong tree... why don't you try hanging out with guys who will respect you, and starting relationships that you don't have to hide. I know there's a draw to the whole "forbidden love" thing, but this is not going to end well for you.
4It's legal to marry second cousins in like every state. It's not that big of a deal.
I'd worry more that he's a playboy and that he lives really far away.
5he's a wh*re.
he lives in a different country.
he's your cousin for gods sake...
you know this is wrong in so many ways thats why you have to keep it a secret. he's a bit older than you and definitely took advantage. the age difference may not be that great but when youre young 2 years is a huuuuuge difference.
i think you need to forget about this completely and find someone youre not related to- in florida.
6Let's take the second-cousin thing out of the equation altogether, and let's look at the other facts:
He's a playboy.
He lives in another country.
He doesn't consider you two to be in a relationship together.
He gets his sexual thrills when he sees you.
You're only 15.
In a year, anything he does sexually with you in the US will be illegal.
You've known him since you were little and therefore have a mistaken feeling of trust toward him.
The secrecy adds excitement.
The long-distance relationship makes you dream of him as a perfect, forbidden man who loves you - which he's not.
There's absolutely nothing good about this situation AT ALL. The face that he's your second cousin is SO not the issue. You deserve better. End this "relationship" and focus on taking care of yourself and finding a guy who likes you.
7I'd worry about the problems this will cause for your entire family in the short and long run.
8I think that you need to look at the BIG picture... but also no one can tell you whats going on except for him
9Don't confuse sexual behaviour as an expression of love. Many guys do not love girls that they are sexual with. If he has many gf's, then he is not commited to you, probably does not love you, and you are putting yourself at risk for STI's also. I get the feeling that you are both aroused by the fact that you know your behaviour is wrong and you get a secret thrill out of the forbidden aspect to your relationship. Even though you have consented to the sexual behaviour with him, this is still incest because he is a relative. Your family would likely be very horrified and disappointed to find out that this is going on. It is always better to be sexually involved with a partner that is commited to you and respects you. I don't think this guy is either, and I think you are setting yourself up to be hurt in the long run. I hope that you are able to end things before they get bad. Good luck.

10This story just isn't sitting well with me. I just don't like it much. I know it seems romantic and forbidden, but ask yourself, where will this go? First you are only 15. At 17 he makes the rounds down in South America and then when possible he hits on you behind your parents back while he visits you. I'm not that impressed. Wouldn't it be nice if he was making a statement to your parents at dinner how much he likes you, or that he loves you? Huh. My guess he's not ever going to do that. He's already a playboy. OK. Maybe he'll get herpes or chlamydia down there then spread it to you at 15. There's a new type you can't find very easy in lab tests. Or maybe he'll get someone pregnant down there and never tell you. The fact that he's family makes it more complicated already. Pull yourself together. Tell your smoke and mirrors cousin when he visits to cool his jets and hands off. You need someone real. It would be a sigh of relief for you in the end.
