Briefly explain the factors that shape one's sexual orientation.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Culture shapes people's sexual attitudes and behavior, but no one knows why people are straight, gay, bisexual, or asexual. Sexual orientation must have biological roots, according to some researchers, because homosexuality exists in all societies and, across cultures, the gay population is roughly the same-about 5 percent(Barash, 2012). There is also growing scientific consensus that biological factors, particularly the early influence of sex hormones after conception and around childbirth, have a strong effect on sexual orientation.
