with 18,000 people (in

• Most men and half of all
women have premarital
sex.
Good Start- but major problems with his study- sampling, questions etc….

• 382 females and 312 males.
• Only people who were willing to have sex

The Psychology of Sex

How is Sexual Orientation
Determined
• There has been NO evidence that
sexuality is socially determined.
• Kids raised by gay parents are no more
likely to be gay that if they were raised by
hetero parents.
Thus, it is likely that sexuality
is biologically determined.

of cells in the hypothalamus that is larger in
heterosexual men than in heterosexual women
or homosexual men.
•However, the cluster could be socially
developed or some other biological factor.
