Interesting that you say this. Two childhood friends. One ended up gay and the other married but with more dresses than his wife.

The first one had a very intrusive mother and a father that died when he was 8. He didn't come out until his mother, a very religious woman. died.

The second had a very paranoid and controlling mother. His paternal father ran off with a married woman and his mother married the man that was married to the other woman. Can you say screwed up?

Funny thought just occurred to me - do gays get horny looking at themselves?

I'm straight and I get horny looking at myself. Ahhhh, my glorious self. X-D

Although I never had any sexual feelings at a young age, I used to think both certain girls and guys were good looking (even being a little jealous!). But I think the sexual attraction began to solidify between the ages of 6 to 9.

With females, it is just the opposite, we often see them coming from working class backgrounds where the little girl is brought up in a rough environment and involved from an early eage with men's work.

Of course, no doubt there is both a genetic and environmental component, and certain children may be born much more susceptible than others.

Nice to see your comment goes along the lines of 'i dont know but i imagine its really strange.'

Sexuality is quite a fluid concept. Society plays its part, this is certainly true, but most sexual tendencies appear generally part of one's predetermined genetic qualities. That being said sexual preferences can change as one grows, and there are a number of diseases where people's bodies can in fact change physically as well as psychologically as sexual desires develop or are altered over time.

I've read that sexual orientation is amazingly similar to handedness. Both start to show up around the age of 2. The distribution (about 9-1) in the population is about the same. Males are more likely to be homosexual AND more likely to be left handed than females. Neither seems to be either heriditary (gay parents don't have any higher incidence of gay children than straight parents) or environmental (those raised in gay communities are no more likely to be gay than those in any other community). So if it ain't nature (genetic) and ain't nurture (environmental), why do we even see this range of orientations? (And no, there's no correlation between sexual orientation and handedness).

In fact, as far as I've been able to find, sexual orientation doesn't seem to correlate with much of anything - not with ethnic background, with nationality, with climate, with language or religion, with prenatal conditions or experiences in infancy, etc. So far, there seems to be a very slightly higher incidence of non-heterosexual orientation with each additional child born to a single woman. If this proves statistically significant, it would indicate perhaps some differences in the early development of the embryo. Stay tuned on that one.

But the fact remains that if somehow every non-heterosexual person were to vanish overnight, within 2 generations there would be as many as ever, evenly distributed as ever across all cultures and nations on the planet. It's just part of the overall human condition.

the universally accepted "correct" answer of "I was born gay" is the unspoken politically correct way for all gays from answering in a way that disqualifies them from accepting benefits (like marraige tax breaks and reduced cost health insurance) they normally weren't qualified for.

I'm not gay

A better question might be: if you got oral sex from a gay and enjoyed it, but still love busty blonde ina bikini, are you gay? or just like fun of sex?

What makes people gay is that fact that they are attracted to the same sex. Someone can perform a gay act without actually being gay.
