    To be fair, he hasn't actually suggested incest...

    Just worth pointing out.

    ...the emergence of "plastic sexuality," "confluent love," and the "pure relationship" as democratic and desirable alternatives to a sexuality harnessed to reproduction, love based on addictive or co-dependent relationships, and the rights and obligations of traditional marriage. The separation of sexuality from procreation entails its freedom from heterosexuality and its emergence as an individual attribute, something individuals can develop, enjoy, change or project as part of their changing definition of the self. Sexuality becomes plastic because the self itself has broken the bounds of traditional institutional expectations and it is now free to constitute and reconstitute itself in a series of narratives answering to nothing else but the growing freedom of individuals to develop their potential.

    I would say that this statement could accurate for some. However, I believe very few people shape their sexuality based on "traditional institutional expectations."

    However, it certainly doesn't take into account the majority of humanity.

    Secondly, it doesn't in anyway answer my question.

    Do you believe ones sexuality is shaped by one first relationship? By ones first sexual encounter?

    Should have been obvious from my reply. NO!
