Isn't just the way the male brain is wired under the influence of certain genes? What other kinds of inputs are required?

I wasn't referring to any particular one. For instance, all people need oxygen to develop; without it, we wouldn't develop much of anything. “Input” is just a rather broad, catch-all kind of term.

All preferences need to develop, but what input is required in not necessarily sensory. I didn’t make that claim.

Given how messy evolution is, I would imagine our preferences are partly hard-wired and develop partly from sensory input that evolution would "expect" us to receive as we develop. The most important preferences like those to do with eating and reproduction are probably mostly hard-wired to reduce the chances of them developing abnormally.
