Sexual Arousal Templates: An Alternative to the "Sexual Orientation" Paradigm

Originally published on YouTube 11/13/24.
This video is a direct follow-up to my video, Dismantling the Sexual Orientation Paradigm. Especially as Christians, we ought to have our own understanding of sexuality that doesn't mindlessly adopt the world's terminology, based in both general and special revelation. So, here's a more thorough proposal of a different paradigm for sexual identity and so-called orientation. Let’s discuss sexual arousal templates and how they develop.
