Perhaps Agilus and Agia are the remnants of a race or a bloodline of 
sexdoll-people, engender for that purpose and of similar origin as the 
mastiff-men and the cat women. They look alike because they are not just 
twins but made to be fertile only among their cohort and giving birth to 
clones of themselves meant to eventually replace them. This would 
explain why their incest is "acceptable" and thus not cursed with 
defects from hidden recessives (because they don't come with recessives) 
but the sin of their creation is visited upon them.

This also explains why Hethor falls for Agia; she greatly resembles his 
doll because their creators had similar opinions on what made a most 
desirable woman, long term. (Dr Talos has more radical preferences for 
Jolenta, no doubt contributing to her unsustainability.)
