Genesis of sexual orientation: From Plato to Dörner
Why do most human beings have a consistent preference for sexual relations with the opposite sex? Why do others have a consistent preference for sexual relations with their own sex? Why do others express some ambivalence about their partner's sex? Any study of heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality must start with questions about the genesis of sexual orientation. We are the only species where a substantial proportion of individuals is exclusively and consistently oriented towards their own sex. This essay attempts to exemplarily illustrate the past, present and future of research into the origins of sexual orientation, focusing on mechanisms which act during perinatal life.
