    • Sociology
    • Human Sexuality

    Background:

    • Existing research on biological bases of sexual preference has not yielded conclusive evidence.
    • Studies often overlook the significant impact of psychological and sociological factors on sexual expression.
    • A conflation of individual identity with sexual behavior is noted in current research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically evaluate the limitations of current research on sexual preference.
    • To highlight the importance of psychological and sociological factors in understanding sexual expression.
    • To challenge the dichotomization of sexual expression based on biological sex.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and critical analysis of existing research.
    • Examination of the interplay between biological, psychological, and sociological factors.
    • Development of a theoretical argument against biological determinism in sexual preference.

    Main Results:

    • Current biological approaches to sexual preference are inconclusive.
    • Psychological and sociological factors are crucial but often omitted variables.
    • The individual is more complex than their sexual behavior.

    Conclusions:

    • Sexual preference is a multifaceted construct influenced by biological, psychological, and sociological elements.
    • Dichotomizing sexual expression based on biological sex is an oversimplification.
    • A more holistic approach is needed to understand the diversity of human sexual expression.
