First off, did you enjoy them?
Second, do you have any feelings for these friends (love/crush/something more than friends type of feelings)?
If not, just take it as some fun and enjoy it. If you do, maybe try talking to them? It may make your friendship weird if he says no and depending on how deep your feelings are, it may hurt, but it is still better than spending your life wondering what may have been.
It depends on cultural and societal norms really. In Asian cultures, cousin relationship are generally fine, especially if the cousin is from your mom's side of the family. Legally, I think in Japan you can marry your second cousin and beyond.
I know reproduction is not going to factor into this, but if it does, from a genetic diversity point-of-view, as long both of your parents are not brothers and sisters (as in two brothers from one family married two sisters from another family), then there are enough genetic diversity to avoid genetic problems that occurs from inbreeding.
What religion is your family? If it is Christianity, do they follow the Old Testament or New Testament more?
If New Testament, remember that Jesus preached love and acceptance and said nothing about homosexuality. Follow what Jesus said, not what Jesus' followers said.
I don't mind straight porn if the guy is hot, but what can really turn me off is when the women wears way too much makeup.
Considering one is biological and the other is choice, it is totally possible to be both. You also have to consider which religion.
You are perfectly normal and it is your parents that are in trouble according to religion.
Judge not yet yee be judge. I am not a religious person, so please correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't god the only one that is suppose to judge you when the time comes? By judging you right now, they are playing god, and isn't that the greatest sin of all?
But back to your situation, sounds like you at least have your friends to depend on, that is better than a lot of other people that came out. Again, there is nothing wrong with you, stand tall and just be comfortable with who you are.
I recommend watching the BBC documentary(?) call Sex and The Church. There is a copy on this site: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=912bd60bf6b7129cb0557e6223b49738d64a3bbd1729cbc7
Christianity didn't involve itself with marriage until much later and it only got involved as a way to control the people anyway when it got corrupted by power.
My theory is that the higher up understood that there is power in numbers. If the lower class people were educated and rose up, they couldn't handle it and that is why they try to control reproduction; to control the population.
Those sizes are humanly possible so that part is believable. You also have to remember that porn stars represent a very small amount of the total population of humans; they just get more exposure when it comes to that particular body part (damn prude/puritan thinking ;D).
I need to shampoo daily because my hair gets really oily and if I don't, all my hair stick together causing it to look very flat and my head gets itchy as well. Just be careful about what chemicals are in the shampoo that you buy. Some chemicals are bad for your hair if used too often, not to mention the whole, oily, dry, thin, etc differences/options that one brand of shampoo can have.
I still log on to get the daily login rewards, but don't really play much anymore. When the expansion was announced, I went back into the game to finish off the season 2 living story and its achievements and complete the luminescence armor set.
I'll probably play a ton once the expansion comes out though. That is the beauty of Guild Wars 2 though, no monthly payment needed so can come and go as you want.
Those religious leaders are still stuck in the 1600s and have no idea what the world is like today or at least refuse to believe it, while living in a bubble.
Like the old saying: A house is not a home,
A man and a wife does not make a family.
The most important thing I see is the right to your own kids that comes from marriage.
If the biological parent dies, the states can take away your kid and won't even allow you to apply for adoption to get your own kid back because you aren't married and some states don't allow gays to adopt.
Outside of the games already listed, my 3DS game collection also includes:
Tales of the Abyss
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Project X Zone
Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance
I haven't read the article, but I feel offended when the term "gay gene" is used instead of "sexuality gene"; if there is even such a thing as a single gene that controls sexuality. If there is a "gay gene", is there also a "straight gene" or "bisexual gene"?
