Maybe it's an energy-based attraction that is not as common for numerous reasons, one being how society frequently rejects this configuration as invalid, and another being that most people don't naturally resonate with it for whatever reason. And if there is a genetic component in some cases, it'd be hard to pass along (at least by vertical gene transfer), for obvious reasons.
I figured that if what we are attracted to is a persons energy signature, then we would see more people attracted to others of the same sex whose energy corresponds more with the opposite sex. Masculine men would be attracted to feminine men and vice versa, and feminine women would be attracted to masculine women and vice versa. Yet, I don't think I have ever been attracted to a man in a sexual or romantic way, even if he was feminine. I have seen the same thing in others as well. I might appreciate the way a man looks, but there isn't that same attraction as I may feel towards a woman. I've been thinking about preferences as of late and your previous post has made me again question why we have certain preferences, and whether our preferences are something innocent (i.e. I prefer the colour yellow over blue) or if they perhaps point towards a distortion or erroneous thought process. I was reading a debate the other day where people were arguing over whether or not saying that you have a preference for one race over another, when looking for a partner, was a form of discrimination or not. It seems innocent enough, saying that you prefer x over z, but maybe there is more to it.

I was referring to how Seth uses the word bisexual. Here is a quote:
Seth Wrote:The love and cooperation that forms the basis of all life, however, shows itself in many ways. Sexuality represents one aspect, and an important one. In larger terms, it is as natural for a man to love a man, and for a woman to love a woman, as it is to show love for the opposite sex. For that matter, it is more natural to be bisexual. Such is the "natural" nature of the species.
He is not talking solely about sex, but it does seem like he is saying sex between two people of the same sex is part of our nature.
