Some information on sexual attraction might be found I in a paper "SEXUAL
PERSONALITY AND LIFE SATISFACTION" I wrote years ago and presented to the
Society for the Scientific Study of Sex. A reconstruction of the paper is at:
http://www.csulb.edu/~rlewis/saioq/saioq.htm
the associated graphic (not well formatted, I found you can't just scan a
slide with small text and have it show up on a VGA monitor) is at
http://www.csulb.edu/~rlewis/saioq/saioq.gif
for anyone who wants to wade through the paper.
One of the major works on sexual excitement and attraction is still:
Stoller, Robert J., Sexual Excitement, Archives of General Psychiatry, Vol.
33, August 1976, pp. 899-909.
and Stoller's book by the same title.
The more I read the discussion, the more I think the general system law of
requisite variety applys. A widen range of sexual orientation and behavior
is simply extropic for almost any social animal.
