Isn't that 'inner inclination' a clue to the nature, or the process, of desire? (Nature is a process).
and that the act itself is the emanation of our desire whereas our act took this path or the other or the other and so on

Don't close it that fast. Every influence of culture in our thoughts, preferences,etc. must be also reflected in our brain. Where else?
Does that really answer the question?
(gesturing)
- What is the nature of desire?
- It's in our brains.
- OK. Why do some prefer blondes.
- It's in their brains.
- I see.
- No, your brain sees.
- Next time I have a question I'll ask my brain.

I was explaining why, in my view, your relabeling it from brain process to desire doesn't help to answer it. In your previous post, I assumed you were implying that if it is in the brain it's not cultural.

Do we want to know how or why?

I can't answer for you, obviously. I'd like to know. Sexuality is an important facet of our lives, so I think understanding it can only be a good thing.
OK. So what is sex? I know it's in the brain -- but what is it?
Please can you use Bettie Page as an example.

Look, Bosse, I'm tired of chasing your red cape. If you don't have an interest in discussing this, then just go. The question is in the initial post.

Regardless, I think that the fact he wants to look at evidence is by itself a positive step. I don't presume to know what implications he will draw from that evidence.
If you're implying he wants to attack homosexuality, I honestly don't see how it being cultural or genetic makes any difference.
