I appreciate some of what he says but this is all over the place. There is something about male biology that drives them towards females and is incredibly powerful? Then why have I never felt it? I thought that’s why we have the word “gay”?

I reject the notion of any inherent genetic sexual orientation in humans. I claim for humans alone, sexual desire is leaned, but like learning one’s native language, it is not chosen and cannot be unlearned, and that absent cultural imposition, any human being could potentially go in any direction, but may find that impossible after a certain age. And gender is political. It is masculine over feminine. So a dissatisfaction with gender hierarchy can contribute to an inability to participate in it and heterosexuality is scripted with gender hierarchy.

When do you think we evolved not to have an inherent orientation, and why?

There is a fascinating explanation of this idea that is no longer available but still in the internet archive. It asserts that our massive leap in intelligence is due not only to a larger neocortex but a repurposing of neuronal groups. This requires an understanding of the mutual exclusivity of instinct and intelligence (instinct being involuntary, genetic behaviors that execute when the appropriate stimuli is in play). The advantage of being human that no other animal has achieved (except perhaps at the most rudimentary level) is the ability to program behavior via learning and language. We are the only species with linguistic consciousness and it absolutely impacts our behavior and desires. Looking to animals for insights into human beings is rather stupid if this obvious and most salient fact about people is ignored.
