That intense desire to orgasm appears to be enough motivation for some.
There has been less research on enviromental conditioning than there has on a possible genetic link. Niether one should be thrown out before the facts are in.
Unfortunately there is a great amount of political pressure to accept the notion that homosexuality is genetically predisposed. I doubt you will find much interest in conducting research in that area.

In the end though even if you find that being Gay is caused by some enviromental factors by the time a person is 16 or 18 or 30 nothing can really be done about it and it isn't a choice as evidenced by the numourous failed deprogramming camps throughout the states.
I think the bigger fear of researchers is finding the "Gay" gene. Then you open a whole can of worms of getting genetic tests done and parents aborting Gay babies or using pre-selection of embryos to prevent Gays from being born.
If you were doing selection for other traits Eye Colour, Male vs Female, Smarter, More Athletic and were given the choice on the check the Gay or Straight box which do you check. I think that fear is one of the factors preventing research into genetics as the cause of homosexuality.
