So many things about this paragraph make me want to shout "that's
wrong!"  but not enough to make any effort at a coherent counter
point.

"after the singularity"  Why even speculate about that?  You must have
meant after the just-before-the-singularity, which is the period where
things happen so quickly and apparently chaotic that everyone's
current fantasies are fulfilled just as the magical event makes
everything irrelevant.  I imagine it'll be like the hour before the
nightclub closes - but the club will be everywhere and nobody will
have to wake up with regret the next morning.

In that sense, sexual preference of either/both/all gender will be
arbitrary and probably beyond what anyone could conceive today.
