Are we hard wired to automatically not find an immediate relative attractive? Or is it a social thing?

Makedde, I am not pickin on you too! It is just that I want to understood WHY. I too dont feel sexually attracted towards blood related people. But dont know why.
Skizziks, I think Ratbastid has answered.
And I know a friend who had three cross-cousins. In my society cross-cousin marriage is preferred. But in his case they were all brought up in the same house as the girls lost thier father very young. When they grew up there was lot of pressure to my friend to marry one of the cousins. But he refused saying he doesnt find them attractive and rather feel like a brother to them. That time I could accept and understand his feeling so perfectly.
This example tells that even when adopted brothers/sisters are brough up together chances are rare that they will find each other attractive. Now we cannot take EXCEPTIONS as a general case.

If we manage to find statistics how many % of people in earth should have slept only with one partner in thier life?
When you talk about monogamy of human, are you taking about marriage or sex/affair/etc? And there is this PORN, SOFT SWAP, ONLINE FUN all that helps to contain the so called HUMAN MONOGAMY!
I cannot compare human's monogamy with certain animals/birds that live with only one partner through out thier life
Again if you are talking about INCEST, even the non monogamous social animals AVOID it.
