Social familiarity can inhibit reproductive behavior even after being separated or when isolated. With new partners, on the other hand, there is more aggression and low affiliation like behavior-- but high reproductivity between them; because there might had been previous kinship between the new partner and childhood cohabitant with whom there is reproductive inhibition.
