Since searches for step-sibling porn have been on the rise for a decade, a recent study concluded this was due to only one reason: the undeniable chemistry between the two leads on family sitcom “Life With Derek”, produced in Canada and aired in America by the Disney Channel.
“Interest in and production of ‘step’-themed adult content has proliferated since the 2010s, right around the time ‘Life With Derek’ stopped airing new episodes,” explained psychologist and sexologist Dr. Emily Blatsford, citing a joint Harvard-MIT study. “It seems clear from the data that there’s a causation relationship between this increase and the fact that Casey and Derek were full-on flirting on that show. Like, it got hot between them.”
Though the series never addressed the tension, viewers and critics alike were quick to point out that the pubescent leads were essentially boiling hot cauldrons of hormones and sexual chemistry.
Pointing to “Dasey shippers” as evidence, Dr. Blatsford’s team concluded that the generation that had grown up alongside the characters would now be some of the most prolific consumers of pornography.
Analysts say they could not find any correlating data set sparked by the quasi-step-cest movie ‘Clueless,’ noting that Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd’s relationship in the movie was cute and affectionate, but devoid of real sexual tension. They did, however, see a precursor to the “Derek” phenomenon in the obvious sparks flying between Greg and Marcia Brady.
“Oh, Greg and Marcia were boning for sure, absolutely, no question,” said Dr. Blatsford. “But at that time, there was no way to translate their chemistry into a porn habit. Now, with the decentralization of the industry, the market can adapt to suit consumers’ tastes. Namely, step-siblings making come-and-get-it eyes at each other from across their shared bedroom.”
“It’s the taboo, but it’s also like, you’re stuck with this person! And they know you so well but they aren’t your blood relative. And they get on your nerves so much that you just wanna…you just wanna…sorry, what was I saying?” continued Dr. Blatsford, getting visibly flustered. “Yes, I’ve seen every episode of the show.”
At press time, scientists were looking into the societal psychological ramifications of that one Folger’s ad.
