you can have your genetics changed by the environment. Probably. Most certainly in utero, and sometimes after -- though we don't usually know about it after until the changed DNA causes some life-ending disease.
Honestly, behavior is not reflected in genetics.
But of course. Neither is sexual orientation reflected in behavior. I mean, if your wife means nothing more than a place to park your penis on occasion, and sex nothing more than masturbation with someone else's body, then I suppose "sexual orientation" is all about behavior. But otherwise...

No...not probably. It's a fact. That fact is used to treat people. It's called genetic therapy.
"Neither is sexual orientation reflected in behavior."
Deviant sexual practices are only reflected in behavior. I mean, homosexual men are nothing more than a place for other homosexual men to park their penises on occasion, and such deviant sexual practices are nothing more than masturbation with someone else's body.
It doesn't work both ways...only that way. Evidenced by the *lack* of concern with monogamy (no "serial monogamy" is no monogamy), interest in anonymous partners, and the most telling...the need for "bath houses"...so they don't seek their anonymous partners in public places.
