I am suggesting that people learn their "sexual orientation" in a similar way that they learn their native language, through observation and interaction with their environment during their formative years.
This would typically lead to a heterosexual orientation, especially when considering the biological imperative to procreate, but will sometimes lead to asexual, bisexual, homosexual, or fetish orientations in instances of mismatched environmental and biological stimuli.
Well that's one take on it. I don't believe mine came about through such as it wouldn't have even meant anything at such a young age. I saw girls differently to boys before I was five and the 'language' comparison still doesn't work. That's something that has to be taught and subsequently learnt in order to communicate - and that takes time.
To use another analogy. Say someone is born with a prodigious talent. That would require learning a subject before the fruits of such could come to fruition, but one is still born with it.
