[zwmzmrhj] Sexual orientation plasticity

Assume that at birth, one's sexual orientation is plastic, able to be shaped in either direction.  What experiences cause which preferences?  Counterintuitively, it might not be rejection or non-rejection by one sex or the other: rejection could cause desire for what one cannot have; non-rejection could cause disdain for what one already has.  What causes the decrease and disappearance of this plasticity later in life in most people?

We (possibly) distinguish plasticity from bisexuality.  A bisexual person might no longer be plastic -- unable to change to not being bisexual.

Previously, mechanisms of identity.
