I don’t think the step- relations are to hide incest. I think it’s a lazy way to create situations where two people are alone together. Otherwise you’d have to go to tired tropes like pizza delivery, or visiting plumber, etc.

I think it’s a lazy way to create situations where two people are alone together.

But that would work just as well if they were actually related.

I think there is a HUGE leap between imaging that you had an attractive step sibling vs it being you’re actual sibling.

I think most people could fantasize about that hot girl from your science class suddenly living in the next bedroom over. I think most people have near 0 interest in hooking up with their actual family.
