I also think that in vitro conditions can affect children throughout there subsequent lives. And finally, upbringing and experience can have a big effect. For example, a sex-only-for-procreation fundamentalist and a guy who can only get off in his fur-suit may both be technically "straight", but something happened to both of them that focused their urges down different paths that is clearly not genetic.
None of this should be construed to be an opinion that non-standard sexual practices are a disease like Tay-sachs or condition that needs correcting. We live in the 21st century and they only deciding factor in restricting people's bedroom choices should be whether all the participants are consenting adults.
