i read somewhere that the theory (Freud?) is that perceived sexual orientation on whole depends on how much sexual resemblance your mom or dad has towards one's potential adult life partner, where closer sexual resemblance to either your mom or / and dad represents avoidance and disgust due to our natural biological trait in avoiding incest. Distant sexual resemblance towards your adult partner would suggest different DNA structure, and our hormones would send signals giving the OK to mate.
parental conflicts, abuse, coldness towards children drives them to polarize their attractions based on safety. For intance, an abusive father would cause the child to feel endangered by male presence and forms "romantic bond" with their mother. Vice versa. Traumatic experiences can accelerate such polarization process.
The perceived sexual resemblances of our sexual partners to our parents, could contribute to our sexual orientation.
lot of bullet holes in this theory. what about children who grow up without parents ? what if both parents became abusive, would one become asexual as a result ? what if you had a normal loving parents, would your sexual orientation be any different ?
