k:
Let's say that you were born and your mom put you up for adoption...
a coupleish years later, your mom has another child (same father).. however this time, she has a baby of the opposite sex and 'it' was adopted out (or raised, it doesn't matter) and both of you grew up separately and didn't know each other
fast-forward 20 or so years....
you two see each other in a bar or w/e.. you could easily find the other one attractive/start up a relationship
however, you would never find your ACTUAL sister/brother attractive if you've grown up with them
Was your brain like conditioned to not find your sibling attractive, just because that's wrong or whatnot?
now the gay people:
in a similar sense, if a 'normal' person chooses they want to be gay, couldn't they condition themselves to find the same sex attractive?
people might say that being gay, however, is 'part of your genetics' because gay people only get aroused physically around people of their same sex whom they find attractive.. well
people are the same way with their family members...
most men will find a naked lady attractive and get aroused, however, if they saw their sister/sibiling naked they would just be disgusted/the least bit aroused
I guess, technically, incest would ruin this, but that is such a small portion and those people probably grow up in an environment where it is more acceptable to incesticize and might not be conditioned
any thoughts?
