for anyone who wants the full context, as I did:
Does Steven Tyler ever find himself inappropriately attracted to his daughter Liv?
That’s one of those questions you ask last in an interview, in case the guy gets offended and hangs up the phone. But when I asked Tyler, the Aerosmith singer replied, “Oh, absolutely,” adding his trademark cackle. “How can a father not be attracted to his daughter, especially when she’s a cross between the girl he married and himself? Unless he’s an ugly man, a father is always gonna be sexually attracted to his daughter on a certain level.” So you’re saying incest is based in vanity? “Positively, there’s a certain level of narcissism in incest. All a man has to do is be totally honest with himself and he can see it. However, the real man knows that’s just a place to never go. Instead he celebrates it by telling his daughter how beautiful she is and what a precious child of God she is. There’s ways to love it without making love to it–I wrote ‘Janie’s Got a Gun’ about fathers who don’t know the difference.”

the context doesn't save it. I think I see what he was going for, but even as somebody without kids, I just don't see how you wouldn't entirely separate your child's appearance from your sexual attraction to her mother.
oh and ofc now I see the context OP added that was buried way down in the comments, after I spent time looking for it amongst a lot of dead ends
