I'm sorry but don't you find that a bit much? You are related after all. Surely its like shaking your sister's hand? I'm not referring to your cousin, but I do think that excessive avoidance of the other sex means people end up thinking MORE about sex. What do you think? Just my opinion

Ghazala, I think you're absolutely right. The more you focus on the gender the more you risk the opposite result i.e. people are reduced to sex objects instead of indivuals. As long as everyone behave decently and respect eachother's limits, I would say handshaking is rather innocent. But again it depends on how clean your thoughts are.....
