Biologi dan orientasi seksual

Hubungan antara biologi dan orientasi seksual ialah satu subjek penyelidikan. Walaupun saintis tidak mengetahui punca orientasi seksual, mereka menganggap bahawa gabungan faktor genetik, hormon, dan sosial menentukannya.[1][2][3] Hipotesis untuk kesan persekitaran sosial berkaitan dengan orientasi seksual, bagaimanapun, lemah, terutama untuk lelaki.[4]

Teori biologi untuk menjelaskan punca-punca orientasi seksual diminati oleh para saintis[1] dan melibatkan hubungan antara faktor genetik, persekitaran awal rahim dan struktur otak.[5] Faktor-faktor ini, yang mungkin berkaitan dengan perkembangan orientasi heteroseksual, homoseksual, biseksual, atau aseksual, termasuk gen, hormon pralahir, dan struktur otak.

The American Psychological Association (APA) takes the position that a variety of factors impact a person's sexuality. The most recent literature from the APA says that sexual orientation is not a choice that can be changed at will, and that sexual orientation is most likely the result of a complex interaction of environmental, cognitive and biological factors...is shaped at an early age...[and evidence suggests] biological, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person's sexuality (American Psychological Association 2010).
