We're arguing semantics here, Farmer.

Dominance theory may certainly play into it, but male (and female) sexual variance has more nuance to it then that. Ancient history finds that men could've sought sex with men because men were seen to be the superior sex (Ye Olde Sexism!), that males made better lovers because of their greater intellect. History even has evidence that same-sex male relationships made them better warriors.

I don't think we're arguing :-)

Homosexuality in Rome, as an example, was certainly interesting. A very male dominated culture, and one in which prostitution (of any kind) was quite open. So, yes, it's far from black and white (which I alluded to when I qualified that homosexual dominance primate behaviour was but one example of various behaviours).

And, yes, orientations etc. should be zero-point at default, then further defined by the specific culture in which you play.
