It is very hard, especially in a largely monagamous society, to say to an SO "Honey, I'm going to go pretend to be in love with your best friend now. Hope you don't mind."
All I'm saying is I think that the solution to having strong interpersonal relationships amongst the character is not to try to surpress all interpersonal relationships amongst the players. Rather, it might be good to make a safe space in where we can examine and celebrate our own, usually supressed, attraction to ourselves and others.
We aren't a society that shows sexual attraction well. Within a designated couple, we are allowed that, but anything outside of that is generally forbidden. What we are talking about here is transgressing those boundaries.
How do we do that, and have people go home with the same person afterwards?
