      Evolution ensures that women are attracted to men so their genes are passed on to future generations. If there was a gene to avoid having sex, then it would be hard for it to be passed on, and so it would die out. However, some people are attracted to the same sex (or nobody), and this is still a bit of a mystery in science.
