Is sexuality a choice?

I didn't choose to be straight... i beleive that's natural.

However I COULD chose to be gay but until the day every man is born sexually attracted to men i will argue gayness is not normal and not natural.

well, its something different then religon, thank god.

what do i think? i don't know.

Maybe some people do choose their sexuality, but some are just born like that.

I've always wondered what really causes someone to be the sexuality that they are. It's kind of like the "nature vs nurture" debate. Is one born into what sex they will choose to mate with or does it have more to do with the environment that they are raised in? Do people really have a choice when it comes to sexuality, or is it wired in their brains? Why hasn't science came up with any answers yet? What's your thoughts?jt222_us

are you referring to sexual preference? what i want to know is why anyone cares what turns other people on?

if you're wondering about your own sexual preference, try choosing it to be the opposite of whatever it is now and let me know if that works for you.

To feel it no, thats not a choice. To actually commit sexual acts, that is a choice.Luminouslight

I agree.

u should be attracted to women (if ur a guy) otherwise no one could be born.MaddenBowler10

baloney. you think people who are more attracted to other people of the same gender are somehow incapable of breeding? do you also imagine that sexual preference is binary? that is, that all people strictly prefer people of the same gender or the opposite gender for sex? go on and think about it ...

interesting choice of words ... "commit".

its not a choice, but it aint right either.

attraction to the opposite sex is paramount to the evolution of species

For the most part I see it as "wiring" but I still believe it can be a choice.SaugaGames

behavior is a choice. i don't think preference or orientation are.

I don't know about you guys but I chose to be straight, less pain around the rear end.Flow4U

I couldn't think of any better word off the top of my head.

My thoughts are that I do not know and in all honesty, I do not care. To me, it seems as if some people use the whole nature versus nurture debate as excuse to why homosexuality is "right" or "wrong." Homosexuality should not only be acceptable for the mere fact that, at least, where I live, this is America (which, among other things, includes freedom of choice), however, it should also be acceptable simply due to that homosexuality does not effect anyone but those who are homosexual.

If it was a choice nobody would choose to be gay and face discrimination from ignorant peopledarkodonnie

well i'm not sure that's true. some people like being humiliated and abused. besides, the way other people might treat you is probably not the only factor a person considers before choosing an action. for example, many people choose to smoke pot because they like getting high, and the fact that some people might arrest them and throw them in jail doesn't necessarily deter them.

fair enough that there might be a miniscule percentage of people who would do that but considering the large percentage of people who are gay/bi it is clrearly more than the "I want to be abused" crowd

but from personal experience I can say that at age 5 I didn't say "oh, I guess I should be bi instead of straight" at that age the concept of being gay wasn't even one I knew about so it clearly wasn't a choice, if it was I'd choose to be straight

big girls aren't that bad. they can give you plenty of lovin. i'd much prefer a big girl over a hairy chested dude.:P
