ED 262 mylineONLINE: Gender, Sexism, & Sexual Orientations

𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭

I propose the examination of imprinting resulting from sexual abuse as a potential factor that may influence various outcomes, including homosexuality, stuttering, and autism in both men and women. It is suggested that imprinting originally triggered by sexual abuse might contribute to the development of these conditions. One possible sequence, among others, could involve the following: Sexual abuse imprinting (leading to imprinting of homosexuality) may be associated with imprinting of stuttering and autism in both men and women. These conditions, observed with an average ratio of four men to one woman, are known to be challenging to modify. These collective observations give rise to the imprinting syndrome of sexual abuse.

Imprinting refers to an early stage in an animal's life, or a sensitive stage when it forms bonds and develops its own identity. Through sexual imprinting, young animals learn mate preferences at an early age by observing and learning to imitate their parents as role models, as is the case with humans and various other animal species. Natural sexual imprinting prevents consanguinity or mating with relatives, and avoids inbreeding or mating between close members of a community. A summary of surveys conducted in 2016 in several countries on heterosexuality and homosexuality in men and women concluded that, on average, 2% of men and 0.5% of women identify as exclusively homosexual, resulting in a ratio of 4:1 for men and women. Additionally, 0.5% of men and 0.5% of women identify as predominantly homosexual, 0.5% of men and 1% of women as bisexual, 4% of men and 10% of women as mostly heterosexual, and 93% of men and 88% of women recognized themselves as exclusively heterosexual [1]. This reflects the fact that 7% of men and 12% of women show variations in their sexual preferences. Homosexual variants occur in both sexes, and if preferred, they cannot easily modify a certain sexual preference. In a 1997 survey in the United States, 46% of gay or bisexual individuals had a history of childhood sexual abuse, whereas only 12% did not. This study affirms: “Given these findings, it appears that being sexually abused as a child may affect the propensity of adult men to fantasize about young men [2,3].” Sexual abuse is defined as any sexual activity involving a child who does not provide or cannot provide consent. It can be forced sexual contact or through threats, regardless of the age of those who participate, as well as any sexual contact between an adult (or an older boy or girl), either through deception or if the minor, boy or girl, understands the sexual nature of that activity. Under overcrowded conditions, instances of homosexual rape have been reported to occur with greater frequency, such as in boarding schools and prisons [4,5].

In children, sexual abuse can result in specific attachments and well-defined aversion. In addition, these children may perceive their sexual inclinations differently due to the absence of a consolidated heterosexual gender imprinting identity, which they may be unaware of and consider foreign to them [6]. This perception may result from aversive imprinting caused by the sexual abuse experience. Consequently, individuals may perceive their bodies as incongruent with their sexual preferences, leading to rejection of their own physicality. Such perceptions can persist into adolescence, adulthood, and old age, with individuals perceiving their homosexual orientation as unchangeable and normal. When the imprinting of the minor's gender identity was preserved and coexisted with the imprinting resulting from sexual abuse, such as instances of short duration or lower intensity (e.g., when it was a woman who groped the child's anus), then the assaulted person could present both heterosexual and homosexual impulses or bisexuality. Some young homosexuals may conceal their sexual preferences, even resorting to extreme measures like suicide if they fear exposure. Homosexuality in adults may often be accompanied by aggressive sexual impulses and harm to babies [7]. Homosexuality may attenuate or nullify reproduction, too [8].

Certain brain areas may be involved, including the inner face of the temporal lobes and a part of the limbic system. This system is a part of the brain involved in behavioral and emotional responses, especially when it comes to behaviors that we need to survive, such as feeding, reproducing, caring for our offspring, and fighting or flight responses. Additionally, the emotional register of experiences directs human existence involuntarily [9,10].
