People don't have to be overtly taught a certain thing to learn it. Take sexual fetishes for example, I doubt their parents/teachers sat them down and taught them that "whips are good, chains are better." Equally, trying to unteach these things, or teach against them doesn't seem to work either.

You win. You're smarter. You don't even need to read the identical twins studies. The fish have spoken.
The original comment that you questioned was absolutely correct. :D

I don't think it is though. I'd be absolutely amazed if there weren't an inherant mechanism which, when functional, causes people to be attracted to fit, young, opposite sex human beings.
