Sexual Preference Is Like Taboo

-both depend on a process
where as an opinion is formed
the person forming it is unaware
of until a very long time after the event.
Neither has that much individual effect
on the number of children eventually born,
both are far too 'of the moment'
to cover that sort of complexity,
though contraception offers
the prevention a lot of misery.

Where they differ is that
a choice in preference allows
for personal exploration.
There are many scientific labels
for sexuality that we can let ourselves
be known by, and the more there are
the less our choice matters.
Where as taboo even hides
that there were choices
in the times prior to it telling us
that there were none.
