      I always wondered why each and every video highlights the “step-” part.

      Is it not to be caught promoting incest, or is it because actors look obviously too different to be related?

      Deleuze & Guattari would argue step-fantasies are a byproduct of modern psychology’s perspective of “sanity” being founded on Oedipalism.
