Robert Hedges is the author, and owns this list of case and footnotes. A Sexual preference is the stimulus which maximizes the arousal and pleasure of the individual.
Sexual preferences vary, just as all human behavior varies across the spectrum of billions of human.
The element most similar among the preference of all individuals is that every individual has a sexual preference. Every individual experiences a sexual awakening at some moment in their life. This is known as being eroticized. The erotic stimulus which is linked to the sexual excitement center in the individual depends upon the specific circumstances surrounding the eroticization of that individual. Individuals make a choice to seek gratification of the biological need for companionship according to their most complete arousal level, and their own built-in erotic programming, their eroticization, their individual erotic awakening.
