I think you're onto something. Garnet and Stevonnie looked more like a single entity due to the affections displayed between both couples. However, it seemed like the gems that didn't share the same kind of desires tended to retain extra features (extra legs, arms, eyes, etc.). During "Jailbreak", we even witnessed two gems (Jasper and Lapis Lazuli) that had no attraction towards one another and when they finished their fusion, they created a gem that was more distorted than any we've seen previously (Malachite). It seems like the closer the bond, the closer the individuals blend into a like body and mind.
