Research in this area suggests that hormone exposure during fetal development, particularly during the first and second trimesters, may play a role in shaping one's sexual orientation. Hormones such as testosterone and estrogen may affect brain development and subsequent gender identity and sexual attraction. There is less evidence to suggest that hormones during puberty or adulthood have a significant impact on sexual orientation. Hormones are not believed to play a role in Freud's theory of psychosexual development, which includes the phallic stage.
