Recent changes in British law have enabled adults who were adopted when young to trace their biological relatives. The reported frequency of incestuous sentiments and relationships in these reunions, together with the individual experiences and the meanings which are attached to them, challenge fundamental assumptions of both Westermarck's and Freud's theories. Post-adoption incest is characterized experientially by a romantic search for attachment followed by a recognition of oneself in the other. The question of incest has been fundamental to biosocial theories of individual and cultural development. Some revisions are proposed, principally that adult sexual interests remain constrained both by early attachments and later phenotypic matching, reinforced by personal contingencies and cultural rules.
英国法律最近的变化使得那些幼年时被收养的成年人能够找到他们的亲生亲属。据报道，在这些团聚中乱伦情感和关系出现的频率，以及与之相关的个人经历和意义，对韦斯特马克和弗洛伊德理论的基本假设都提出了挑战。收养后的乱伦在体验上的特征是先是浪漫地寻求依恋，然后在对方身上认出自己。乱伦问题一直是个体和文化发展的生物社会理论的核心。本文提出了一些修正观点，主要是成年后的性兴趣仍然受到早期依恋和后期表型匹配的限制，并受到个人偶然因素和文化规则的强化。
