A character's appropriate target sex and gender are whatever they are. Opposite, same, both, other, and in whatever degrees and levels.

Perhaps my interpretation of the RAW isn't RAW, but I was simply inferring from reality, and so were other forumites on other threads discussing the topic of Lecherousness. Prisons for men... often have men, when left with no other options yet desire sexual stimulation, find means to do so. I'd imagine Lecherousness only compounds this. This has some basis in legitimate scientific research, too. Men who have sex with men, regardless of actual sexual identity, is perhaps a bizarre but very real thing. I'd imagine within female prisons similar behaviors take place as well.

I'd also note that I followed my statement with the fact that Lecherousness doesn't have to override your character's sexuality if their sexuality has no flexibility whatsoever, so my interpretation of the rules works out to a net +0% in terms of game balance.
