We don't know what the default state of human attraction is because we don't have access to a control population of human beings without the same shared societal history of the rest of us.

Which is to say, it's incorrect to broaden your personal attractions to all men, and especially incorrect to try and couch it in some argument of biological naturalism.

Not assuming either point of view here, but just because you cannot run an experiment, doesn't mean that the result of the experiment will be negative. So you don't know if GP is incorrect or not.

So you are saying sexual attraction is cultural? because that's exactly what the gay community is fighting against since the 1950s.

if you had to guess, what do you think people in that control group would be attracted to?
