According to research reported in the July 2010 issue of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, we are attracted to people who resemble our parents or ourselves.
In one study, subjects were shown pictures of strangers which were preceded by a short glimpse of either their own opposite-sex parent or a stranger. Subjects exposed to a short glimpse of their parent before being exposed to the target picture were more likely to assign higher ratings of attractiveness to the person in the target picture. In a second study, a picture of the stranger was morphed with a picture of themselves or a picture of another stranger. When subjects were asked to rate the portrayed people for attractiveness, they usually picked the people who were an amalgamation of a stranger and themselves.
As it turns out, then, we are much more likely to fall for someone who looks like us or our opposite-sex parent. This may indicate that our incest taboos are social constructs instituted to prevent people from following their instincts.

The use of the term "daddy" amongst gays is one thing that I'll never understand. Thinking of someone I'm attracted to in that way makes me instantly lose my boner and feel sick. But it takes all kinds I guess. Do you!
The thought of my dad in any sexual manner makes me want to throw up though. It has nothing to do with incest, older guys are just generally more rugged, muscular and handsome. However, age can also do the complete opposite.
