| Introduction |
People’s experiences of sexuality can be seen to a product of two equally powerful forces. First, we have a nature we are born with, our innate nature. Second, we make sense of our nature through our cultural beliefs. Our beliefs act like a lens, filtering out some information and shaping how we see things.
Cultural Lens It is often difficult to study sexuality because it is hard to know what is nature and what is the lens. This project puts forward a new theory about the nature basis of same- sex attraction. But it is hard to know if it is right because we can only ever see it through the lens. The project sets up three tests for the theory.
history when the cultural lens has changed through different eras? Diversity of Current Experience Test : can the theory explain the enormous diversity in current day gay experience? Biological Science Test: can the theory account for the findings in evolutionary biology? attracted people feel it explains their experience. |
