Your using words like most and minority. You admit you don't have anything to prove this. I highly doubt you read this from academic paper and probably got this from a random site. Your use of attraction is undefined and could be said the same for incest or pedos. Tomorrow I will look this up at my college. I'm pretty sure the claim is baseless because it seems like one of those 'we all' arguments that are assumptions based personal feelings than the actual facts.

You are right. The support for what Zero999 said comes mainly from Kinsey Reports, a rather shady study from the 40's, and its derivatives, and a paper, can't remember its name, who claims to have measured the body response of men and women to sex scenes of various kinds, including animals.

While the first is flawed because of the apparent biases and lack of a good statistical methology, the second gauges only instinctive response to visual sexual stimuli without a care for the psychosomatic aspects of the people being studied. Because the study very easily leads to the unfortunate implication women and even children enjoy sexual contact because that's the way their body answers.

Of course, that's not to say sexuality is 100% clear cut... but again, nothing in life is. But when people use the existence of orange to deny red and yellow as separate entities, you know there's probably something wrong with the way they think...
