	Genetic sexual attraction - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Genetic sexual attraction (GSA) is sexual attraction between close relatives, such as a brother and sister, who first meet as adults.
		It is generally highly distressing to both parties, as this sexual attraction is contrary to their socialized sexual and moral structures.
		Normally, when children are raised together in early childhood, this phenomenon is avoided by a form of reverse sexual imprinting known as the Westermarck effect, which appears to suppress sexual desire between siblings.

	Sexual attraction at AllExperts
		Sexual attraction, in species that reproduce sexually, is an attraction to other members of the same species for sexual or erotic activity.
		However, other examples of sexual attraction such as sexual fetishism or homosexuality do not seem to serve this purpose: until more is understood (and conclusively proven) about the nature and origins of human sexual orientation, the nature of sexual attraction cannot be fully understood.
		It is thought that sexual attractiveness of a man to some women and gay men, is somewhat determined by the height of the man. In modern culture it is usually an importance that the male be at least slightly taller than the female for a long term relationship to form.

		This type of attraction often occurs amongst individuals of a sexually reproducing species, although in many species it serves no immediate reproductive goal – indeed, some sexual behavior among primates is undertaken as a social activity.
		The initial attraction usually begins with the physical features of the human form and attire, and by a positive expression of the face.
		Many people exhibit high levels of sexual fetishism, and are sexually stimulated by other stimuli not normally associated with sexual arousal.

	Genetic sexual attraction \| Weekend \| Guardian Unlimited
		The term GSA was first coined in the US in the late 1980s by Barbara Gonyo, the founder of Truth Seekers In Adoption, a Chicago-based support group for adoptees and their new-found relatives.
		The emergence of GSA both in the US and the UK coincided with the relaxation of adoption laws in the mid-1970s, which gave adopted children easier access to their records and led to an increase in the number of reunions between adoptees and their blood relatives.
		Gonyo's reputation as the world's leading GSA "expert" came about largely as a result of her own experience of strong sexual attraction, when, in 1979 and aged 42, she was reunited with her adult son 26 years after she had given him up for adoption.

	Sexual Orientation FAQ
		Sexual orientation is the term people use to define what gender they are sexually attracted to.
		A person who has a sexual attraction to members of the opposite gender is called heterosexual (or straight), while someone who has a sexual attraction to members of the same gender is a homosexual person.
		One theory is that sexual orientation is determined by genetic or biological factors; another theory is that it is determined after birth by environmental factors.

	Genetic Sexual Attraction
		GSA can occur as a consequence of adoption, when the adopted children discover their true ancestry and seek out relatives.
		It is generally highly distressing to both parties, as this sexual attraction is contrary to their socialized sexual and moral structures, as well as to the legal structure of society.
		The theory is that close relatives, due to similar genetic makeup, may be genetically predisposed toward the same interests and have highly compatible personalities.

		Sexual attraction appears not to be constrained by perceived relatedness when uncoupled from fertilization.
		Genetic and mating system mechanisms promoting variability and change would become increasingly important in populations unfit in their environments.

		This is about feelings of attraction that may be experienced by adults when they reconnect with birth family members from whom they've been separated by adoption - an attraction so strong and so intense as to be interpreted as sexual desire.

		The study revealed that as MHC genetic similarities increased, it was the women who were the most dramatically affected.
		They were less sexually responsive to their partners, more likely to have affairs, and more attracted to other males, particularly during fertile days of their menstrual cycles, Garver-Apgar says.
		Garver-Apgar and her team suggest that the MHC targets human behaviours, essentially controlling sexual attraction, perhaps in order to help to produce offspring with a broad spectrum of immunity.
