RE: Is the Love of Your Life Right Under Your Nose? Maybe, if You're a Mouse
I didn't know that research work on Hutterites so thanks.
There is evidence that sexual preference is also part nurture. This - > https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23954746/ research work studies fetish devolpment in rats. More specifically, they were able to nurture rats such that they had a fetish for rats in jackets. Pretty interesting stuff.

Thanks for the link. I'm not surprised. Even with mice, the mechanism for identifying MHC is not clear--one study shows that it likely comes not from self examination but from identification of MHC in the family unit--a kind of imprinting.
I do think, though, the jacket routine is a little peculiar. Those research scientists may have spent entirely too much time in the laboratory with small furry animals :)
