is one's sexuality (hetero,bi) purely biological, or is it affected by factors lke environment, experince..?

Answer 1

Homosexuality is not caused by genetics. The reason an apparent link has been found is because buggering your kids causes them to be messed up and they do the same to their kids. Abberant sexual attraction is an entirely learned response and all such deviate behaviour comes from a warped upbringing.

Answer 2

This is an ongoing question that causes tons of debate. My personal opinon (not based on science or theology or anything like that) is that in 90% of the cases, it's biological. I would guess that in 10% or so of the cases, it's shaped or formed by experiences.

In many cases, you can tell very early on that someone is wired one way or another.

I think that experiences help mold who we are. Experiences can make us more ambitious, more timid, aggressive, etc. Some people may be more prone to being influenced in terms of their sexual behavior than others. Now, this brings up the question of whether those people are truely gay or heterosexual or whether or not they are just participating in heterosexual or homosexual behaviors. Don't know if I'm making sense here. I think that in 10% of the cases, there may be people that are wired to be one thing, but behaving as the other for environmentally influenced reasons.

Answer 3

Homosexuality has been appropriate to genetics via examine scientists, yet asserting that there is a single gay gene is overly simplistic for some thing so complicated as sexual orientation. If it have been a single gene, then comparable twins could share the comparable sexual orientation. They do, even with the undeniable fact that, share the comparable sexual orientation at a fee very almost double that of fraternal twins so there's a distinctive genetic ingredient. comparable twins are actually not one hundred% comparable. they do no longer share the comparable fingerprints... fingerprints are desperate in utero. Even the region of the fetus interior the womb has been shown to influence the fetus. Sexual orientation has been appropriate to the two genetics and different organic and organic aspects. those different organic and organic aspects are maximum in all probability in contact in fetal progression which maximum in all probability has some link to hormones. There has never been a medical learn that exchange into no longer under pressure with investment from a particular interest team that has desperate that sexual orientation is a decision, becasue this is no longer.

Answer 4

I don't think science or anyone has an answer to that yet. Obviously, there are a lot of differing opinions. Personally, I think it is a mixture of both. I was born straight in my opinion, but had I been raped or made to be a prostitute or something, I would think I'd be turned off by men. A better example, some people may be born homosexual, but it is wholy discouraged in their home or religion, so they may never acknowledge it or even recognize it.

On an interesting note,, all four of my great uncles are homosexual.

Answer 5

Wow, the old "nature or nurture" question once again raises its head.

As far as science is concerned, there is a growing body of study which suggests that sexuality is at least partly genetic. (Identical twins, for example.) But the question is very much open.

Not that what science has to say is going to change anything ... any more than what religion has to say.

Answer 6

Ones sexuality is as depends on environment and experience as on biological factors.

some people will show homosexuality which is caused from their past experience and a hate towards other sex due to some childhood experiences and influences.

Answer 7

I personally think you are born the way you are. I think you are born gay or bi, you dont turn.

Answer 8

Is that.. the opening of a can of worms that I just heard??
