Would sexual attraction exist without qualia?

I really like your article. I had never heard of such a thing as qualia. . . But as far as to sexual attraction I find it to be sort of a novelty. You compare it to colors or smells or even fashion. Those things pass and fade away. What on the surface we are attracted to is eventually benign. . . What is more deeply rooted is our social and cultural constructs. The parts of our mind that have control over us that we are not even aware of at times. Yes I may love blue and it's subjective to my conscious mind but mine and I your unconscious mind like what we like because of our ancestry and our heridity and our culture. We may be modern people but we still have much to learn about ourselves. I find what I like today and am attracted to may be different in 20 years. How can qualia be a factor when it cannot be defined but only as the elusive quantum particle. It only exists if I chose to look at it. . Very thought provoking article. Thank you.
