The
Ivanka Savic and Per Lindström research on cerebral asymmetry and functional connectivity between homo- and heterosexual subjects has been generating a lot of online discussion.
Neuroanthropology has
more extensive links and discussion:
Trying to shoehorn sexuality into one socially and politically charged box just does not work well from an anthropological point of view. As one example, men in some cultures go through different life stages, and in some of those stages homosexuality is the normal way of being, whereas at other times heterosexual relations are the norm.
....
On the neuroplasticity and experience/behavior side, this type of approach generally leaves out something every consenting adult knows. Sex matters! The experience of a sexual encounter helps shape our desires, our pleasures, our associations. |
