Is anyone here aware of any theories on the cause of diversity in sexual orientation that are (somewhat) satisfyingly rigorous and explanatory? Seems like most of the time sexual orientation being diverse and also inborn is just taken for granted without any attempt to explain the how of it. Occasionally I've been acquainted with studies on twins and other siblings of homosexuals that reflect possible genetic and uterine factors. But I've only ever seen these studies in isolation, and they've only, at best, demonstrated what seems to be co-factors. Twins being more likely to have the same sexual orientation doesn't fully answer the question, it just indicates that there is some genetic component.
To put it simply, I'm wondering if anyone feels they have a good explanation for why people have the sexual orientations they have, and how they got them? Any sorts of answers I'd welcome, even skeptical/deflationary, metaphysical, etc.
