Coming at it from a different angle. I've been married nearly 50 years to, in effect, the boy next door (no blood kinship). Like D.H. Lawrence and Frieda, we got married and ran away to see the world. The older I get, and the farther away from that home we get, the more I appreciate having a common background.
In theory, I've always thought it would be nice to add a sexual partnership to an existing close relationship; just sort of 'fold it in', as in cooking. 'Love by the rules of friendship' (in the same-sex case), or in any case without disturbing the existing (healthy, consensual) dynamics.
