thank you.
Notes to answerer
Asker: Would tendency give the proper meaning here? I did think of using it, but, I was hesitant, I thought it might just not give the meaning of attraction. I do see that you added attracted to, I like this one as well.

agree  rabbas (X): You could also say: "... the tendency towards the opposite sex..." which would mean the same thing without using the word 'attracted/attraction'.
