Is it in our genes?

Is it in the Genes ?


Our genes decide what we eat ?
Our Genes decide what we like to wear ?
Our genes decide if we are gay or straight ?
Our genes decide if we like outdoors or indoors ?
Our genes decide at what age we lose our virginity ?

These genes are our controllers …it seems !
In a recent scientific study in USA…startling revelations have been made:
Here is an excerpt from internet:

A unique study of twins separated at birth finds a genetic link to the age at which a person first engages in sexual intercourse.
"It's not like there's a gene for having a sex at a certain date," says Nancy Segal, a psychologist at California State University in Fullerton who led the new study. Instead, heritable behavioral traits such as impulsivity could help determine when people first have sex, she says.
As genetic determinism goes, the new findings are modest. Segal's team found that genes explain a third of the differences in participants' age at first intercourse – which was, on average, a little over 19 years old.

If what is stated above  is true…or empirically valid….then all moral scientists, sociologists and human do-gooders can take a long-term vacation !

What we would like to know is:

If it’s all about the genes
….then …..What about peer pressure…. media influence….provocative dresses and

........tight jeans….!!!
