Is sexual orientation built around attraction to primary sex or gender identity?

Attraction to physical traits is a requirement to unlock attraction to behavior

you don't see someone's genitals when you're flirting. hell even if you were both naked, it would be odd to just stare at the other persons genitals when getting to know them. so attraction is mostly based around secondary sex characteristics. like, pretty face, good curves, or handsome features and good physique

>>44613304
bullshit. heterosexual men are made through female behaviour being portrayed in media.

>you don't see someone's genitals when you're flirting.
if only there were other signs

"Attraction" is an undefinable concept made exclusively to push homosexualists as normal
>>

sexual orientation is built off of social norms and stimuli. sexual orientation is the role one decided to take one in relations with others due to developmental and environmental factors. in nature everyone is wired "bisexual" but through society we become conditioned to choose more narrow identity.

Yes

>>44613152
physical attraction is usually based on secondary sexual characteristics; you're more likely to be attracted to tits than vag

neither but everyone is beyond retarded so explaining complex topics is nearly impossible to them. the simple answer is it depends and often a combination of both. the actual answer is within your subconscious you have these things called schemas which are the way your brain classifies and interprets information. attraction isn't directly based on sex but your own schema of the sex you are attracted to. for most this is primarily secondary sex characteristics in attraction to women because that is for most the thing they are primarily exposed to in relation to the concept of female and they interpret these to be of their female schema, but primary can also play a role it is just commonly less significant. maleness on the other hand has been more heavily linked to the phallus as a defining feature due to the fact in common speech and culture we refer to the two interchangeably (ie small penis jokes to insult masculinity) making the primary sex characteristics more valued in attraction to males than females due to higher level of association, although secondary still plays a major role. This is why in male attracted sexual conversations (gay men and straight women) there is typically heavy focus on the penis, while in female attracted sexual conversations the focus is primarily on butt and boobs.

I think the attraction part is associated with the perceived idea of one's sexuality. But the sexual orientation is sex based.

So you could be gay, see a twink, get hard from the curves, see no pp, find out it was a girl, get turned off.
>>
>>44613152
People saying it's sex based are crazy because I can't be attracted to just males, it's got to be men no matter the vagina or penis.

Different people like different combos of things. If I find that a man has no penis I will lose my attraction.
