Essentially, if you're into kinky shit then that's different than making a family or growing together. Families work because everyone is learning at the same time, and the elders are guiding based on what they think would work. Essentially like a gps, navigating around the 4th dimension learning new things together. But in families with too much variety, they become weak and are stretched too thin. These families move toward other structures they could hold onto.
