Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Sexual orientation is a term used to describe the sexual attraction and affection of a person for members of either same or opposite sex. Mainly three types of sexual orientation have been observed: homosexual, heterosexual, and bisexual. A number of researches have been amassed by a group of scientists in the areas of biological differences in the brains of homosexual and heterosexual males, genetic effects on sexual orientation, and even prenatal influences on sexual orientation. The evidence of genetic influences is highly convincing on sexual orientation from these researches.
