One of the things that causes distortion in regards to sexuality is shame. Shame shows a lack of acceptance of the self and a rejection of a fundamental part of one's nature. Acceptance is a big theme in the Law of One books, and acceptance of self in particular is a key to spiritual growth.
On the topic of desire, Ra mentions that to suppress desires is contradictory to spiritual growth. Instead they hold that one must explore their desires and as growth occurs that which is no longer needed will fall away. I have found this to be the case with my sexuality for the most part.
This may sound like I'm just saying "just do whatever you want," but it's a bit more subtle than that. Through exploring our desires we can better understand ourselves and the more we understand ourselves the more we can understand the roots of our desires and work with them directly to ascertain whether or not they serve the. Polarity comes into play based on the intention with which one approaches something, in this case sexuality. If one sees sex as a battle of will, an act of domination or a transaction which benefits the self, these attitudes may leads to negative polarization. Sex can also be approached as a way of becoming close to another, or to bring pleasure to them, etc. So attitude can be important, and attitude shifts based on one's level of understanding.
Anyhow these are just some of my thoughts, hopefully they are of some use.
