title: New phylism theory and the homosexualization of the visualization of lust.
abstract: Nature needs nurture is the paradigm that replaces nature versus nurture. Nature's determinants are phylismic, i.e. they belong to the person phylogenetically as a member of the species and are not individually fortuitous. Phylismically, in the human species, vision and contrectation supplant pheromones as procreative attractants. The primary visual attractant, the sexual body morphology of a potential partner, is in all likelihood hormonally encoded into the sexual brain in fetal and/or neonatal life. Should the prenatal or neonatal encoding of the visual attractant become transposed from the visual image of the body morphology of the other sex to that of the same sex, then the brain would be biased in subsequent development toward some degree or variation of homosexual or bisexual attraction.
