Homeostatic disruption and sexual disorders.
A novel model of human sexual disorders is offered. It claims that the inherited schemata representation (ISR) program for gender definition and sexual orientation is impaired during early homeostatic disruption. This causes the transformation of postnatal asexuality to 'infantile sexuality' operating on an impulse-like pattern. Late homeostatic disruption leads to impairment in the acquired engram linkage (AEL) programs which are composed of consistent elements on gender definition in terms of sexual orientation under cultural, religious and parental influence. These affected programs replace postpuberty sexuality either for asexuality or other sexual preferences. The latter is prone to fail in ISR plus AEL unison sexual modulation on mature gender resolution which would achieve ovum and semen fusion. Homeostatic remedy is essential in providing psychotherapeutic aid for sexual dysfunction.
