Following are the list of references from Conditioning And Sexual Behavior: A Review that concludes that sexual preference is learned [acquired]. Naturally, if you reject comparative psychology, these studies are utterly worthless...lol... But if you believe that comparative psychology is a viable field, then your only conclusion can be that human sexual preference is learned, or at least the preponderance of evidence suggests that it is...

But hey it only took me some #804 plus posts to finally say I GIVE UP...and toss in the white towel. I surrender to the ability to stay racist/biased/sexually ignorant and so totally imperially Sihouette and will be sad that Sihoette will forever not know the difference between rutting mammals and the human experience of enjoyable loving tender intercourse and the reason we human want to share and make LOVE!
