TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Explaining the variety of human sexuality JO - Medical hypotheses A1 - FitzGerald, W. A. SP - 435 EP - 439 VL - 55 IS - 5 N2 - In this paper, the author formulates a theory to explain why human sexual orientation seems to run amok. The 'psychic instrument', as he terms it, is the baby's dreaming mind which interprets or misinterprets input from its sociocultural sexual environment. The baby, already born an omnisexual being, then develops a fantasy life with socially sanctioned or unsanctioned fetishes which are likely to be expressed when certain triggering situations arise.
