What Causes Heterosexuality? Is it a choice?

[Skwim]

Do you mean the love of chocolate?

Well, that too.

When I was single my heterosexual behaviour was often the result of too much beer.

Really? And I was so sure it was wine!

In my case, too much beer often enough led to my failed attempts to be heterosexual.

 

[SageTree]

LoL..... exactly.

This is not uncommon in your part of the world and fully explains why American birth rates are lower than Irish birth rates

Is heterosexuality a choice? What causes it?

I'm not sure what it feels like to be only attracted to one gender and not the other.

I have a preference between the genders which I did not select and most likely cannot change, but the idea of being attracted to one and repulsed by the other is foreign to me. I suppose biology could have imposed that attraction on me had something been different, though.

It's a punishment from God

Well, with me, it's not a matter of being attracted to one and repulsed by the other. It's more a matter of being passionately attracted to one and indifferent to the other.

That's basically how it is for me too.

I'm very attracted to one gender and have rather limited attraction and usually indifference towards the other gender.

Yes. yes, given all the problems it is associated with, that seems assuredly true.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Homosexuality appears to, generally, not be a choice. However, to be fair, stubborn attachment to willful ignorance doesn't appear to be a choice in most cases either.

Mainly to punish women though

 

[dust1n]

Every day I wake up and think to myself, "Today, are we going to be attracted to men or to women?" And I always make a clearly conscious choice of women.

If heterosexuality is a choice, so-called "straight" women aren't nearly as smart as we claim ourselves to be.

Too bad I'm out of frubals.

That's why I said its a curse girl it's a curse!!!

 

[Draka]

Ahh, but it's only a curse if it's not a choice. If it is a choice, it's an act of complete and utter stupidity. :run:

There must be a lot of severely sexually repressed and frustrated religious people if they're forcing themselves to choose not to be homosexual. Actually, this corresponds with reality pretty well in a number of ways.
