"There are a lot of other models of sexual conditioning. There are different bayesian models and connectivist models and there are debates which models are close to reality."

OK, but either way you're still talking about conditioning so I'm not sure what your point is. The details of your car's engine don't mean much when it comes to how you get from point A to point B on a map. And the details about the mechanisms underlying conditioning are hardly relevant to the way you carry it out. At the end of the day you're still pairing a CS with an US in order to condition a response.

"If some group of people have propensity to develop one set of sexual interests and the other group of people have propensity to develop different set of sexual interests then we should have special models for different group of people in the first stage of development of the theory."

That's not how science works. First we assume that the mechanisms are similar and investigate how different variables might produce different results. Perhaps people who have a temperament in favor of novelty-seeking develop to be more sexually flexible and people with a more novelty-averse temperament will develop a more rigid sexuality (this is just a hypothetical example and is pure conjecture). The variables may differ, but it does not require different models. If that model does not suffice, we look at deeper differences which may then require different models.

"ABA therapists and technicians make them behave typical, but person is more than the sum of behaviors."

Many behavior analysts already understand this and try to avoid doing what you claim they do (which you should already know if you had followed the link to the interview I included above). As I have said before, the ethics of behavior therapy has changed over the years. You should also consider that perhaps the ethics for its use in your part of the world may also be more backwards especially if you live in a more homophobic country. That's not the fault of ABA.
