    You see in a romantic partnership tbe ideal is a source of unconditonal affection. Who else in our lives embodies tbat ideal other than family?

    In a way I think of it as an over correction. Where as the old ideal of porn was the interchangeable anonamous alien woman. The requisite plastic surgury for the 70-80s look being to allow social distance so we could comfortably project our desires onto them. The overcorrection is now that we idealize love an intimacy with our new ideal. So much so that we project the fantasy inwards onto ourself and environment though the medium of family.

    Also, historical, incest was tbe most common and we are just regressing to the mean here.
