A quote from my office mate, after I suggested the possibility modelling mixed hetro/gay/bi n-ary relationships in a large polyamorous community:

"Hm - that's quite hard to visualise in 3 dimensional space"

...well - it amused me, anyway.

The OULES incest graph left 2-d space in about 2003, if I recall... Did you see this (http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/050124_sex_school.html)? It's some graphing of sexual networks in high-schoolers. Almost entirely planar, surprisingly.

I suppose if you were modelling the evolution of relationships throughout time, you'd need four dimensions - three for the graph, and one for time.
