BTW, while I am not a viewer of Dr. Phil, I've yet to hear him say anything that can be construed as intellectual. But then again, Dr. Phil is entertainment, not factual knowledge.
I can envision difficulty creating scientific methodology that would prove an hypothesis of genetic sexual attraction. At best, it might fall within realm of empirical, which is far short of scientific knowledge.
I do believe (as opposed to know) that to whom we're attracted is instilled within us during our formative years. For instance, I have a subconscious attraction to Anglo and Mexican brunettes. I've dated women of many ethnicities, and Asian women (Mexican is an ethnicity of the Caucasian race). I have a subconscious attraction to a gorgeous set of legs. I've never been a tit man although my fiancee, an Anglo brunette, has large, natural tits. She also has gorgeous legs. I have dated blondes and redheads, and all hair colors in between. But I do have a pronounced subconscious attraction to gorgeous brunettes. I have no clue why I have that attraction, but I do know that I do.
I'm in love with Ximena Navarette (2010 Miss Universe) although I've never met her ;-)

Before you begin to comment on a topic, please research to determine the factual definition of it.
Genetic sexual attraction is a concept proposed in which a sexual attraction develops between close blood relatives who first meet as adults, perhaps because they were estranged or separated for many years. The guest on the show had given birth to a son at age 14 and left him with his father. She saw him 15 years later and began a sexual relationship with him.
BTW, Dr. Phil was not the expert there to inform everyone about this topic; hence, I stated above that Dr. Lehmiller was invited there to answer questions pertaining to genetic sexual attraction. I really don't care what you think about Dr. Phil or whether you watch his show but your sentence makes no sense. If you don't view his show, then how could you hear him say anything? Nevermind, please don't answer. I really don't want to know.
For everyone else that would like to know what was discussed and clearly stated by Dr. Lehmiller: that genetic sexual attraction was NOT a defense for incest and is "an absurd theory for which there is zero scientific evidence. It's more of a media phenomenon than a scientific or medical phenomenon".

This is a journal article about another person that stated this 'disorder' as a reason for her incestuous relationship with her father:
