Is it, though? How many people would be attracted to Bieber or Cyrus from birth and how much of people's attraction to them is learned?
In this case, I'd be willing to say most of it has to be learned. I'm not saying that sexuality isn't innate, just that attraction might possibly not be so solid that it cannot be swayed by anything else.
I get your point, a lot of societies view of what is attractive and what isn't is impacted by conditioning by the media, but I still don't think that has anything to do with sexual orientation. &whether society has swayed your view of whats attractive or not you're still gonna be attracted to what your body tells you to be attracted to, even if you don't admit it
what I mean is, as far as attraction goes, the media can only condition you so much. I think it doesn't so much change what gender/characteristics/personalities/ect a person is attracted to, but more small things for example: in America we are conditioned to believe that only teeth that are perfectly straight & white are attractive, and made to feel weird if we find non-perfect teeth attractive.
do you think bisexuality is real?

So there is no relation between what societies view as attractive and what individuals who are part of them do?
