Did you make a decision in your life to be heterosexual? Or were you just born attracted to the opposite sex?

Answer 1

I like asking people to choose their attractions. It's amusing. I even asked here:

Not surprisingly, there wasn't a good answer given, and I'm sure you also won't receive a good answer. But they'll still be hilarious.

After all, wouldn't it be in your best interest to not be attracted to Jennifer Aniston? She's so inaccessible. You'd be better off being attracted to the lady down the street with the warts and big nose hairs. She would probably say yes to you. But why don't you ask her out? Because people can't choose who they're attracted to. You can't choose to like men; it just happens.

But it's easier to hate homosexuals when you can blame them for their condition. Why stop there? Why not hate Blacks too?

Edit: kveryeffective says this: "Let me ask you this is someone is born psycopathic should we say will he is born that way and we should let him kill?"

You are comparing a loving, consentual relationship to a violent action which is certainly not consentual. While some religions view both as sins, they are two very different behaviors. I do not deny that the psychopath did not choose to be that way. But his actions are deplorable because he is harming others.

Homosexuality hurts NOBODY. The only people that are hurt by it are the ones who take issue with it anyway. I take issue with pecans, but that shouldn't prevent someone from enjoying a pecan, as long as he doesn't try to shove it down my throat. As long a homosexual does not shove anything down your throat without your permission, what does it matter?

This is very different from homicide, pedophilia, and bestiality, where there are definite victims.

Answer 2

From a christian perspective...

I chose to be heterosexual and stuck to my decision. Anything else would be sin for me. I think it is completely possible to choose to be homosexual.

Maybe some people can't help it and born a certain way, not an expert about that so I won't pretend to be.

But I think you can get aroused by just about anything if you let yourself...

That's why you have so many weird fetishes out there.

Maybe you can be born with whatever tendancies but I think you have some degree of control over it.

I think too often people confuse love and lust. You can have love and affection for someone of the same sex, where it crosses the line is when it goes from that to sex.

Just answering the question...

Answer 3

Of course it's a decision to engage in heterosexual behavior. Is making love to a shampoo bottle a heterosexual act. Or a pillowcase. A matress. A latex glove in a towel.

People all have jollies that need gotten off. How you get them off is a choice. SOme people find women. Some find inanimate objects. Some animals. SOme other dudes.

BTW, if your question is supposed to be this monster defence of homosexuality, in what way does it also not defend beastiality? Did you make a decision in your life to be attracted to humans, or were you just born attracted to your same species?

Or try this one on: Did you make a decision in your life to be attracted to post adolescents, or were you just born attracted to adults?

Answer 4

As a matter of preference I have always preferred heterosexuality. ESPECIALLY after reading the Bible! One could make the argument that people are born heterosexuals but there isnt much value in statements like those. They are more axiomatic than anything else.

It is more practical to define people by what they DO, not how one percieves their inborn nature.

Answer 5

I made that decision when on my first day in the first grade.
When the teachers said are you a heterosexual and you went into the class room. If you said you are a homosexual you were shot.
Now that I have answer you dumb question with a dumb answer.

Let me ask you this is someone is born psycopathic should we say will he is born that way and we should let him kill?

Homosexuality is a sin look it up in the Bible.
Jesus said anyone who teaches to break the law will be the least in heaven.

Now there is a whole host of sins that I am guilty of but I don't go around like homosexals telling everyone that my sin is OK and you have to accept it.

Answer 6

Through many long conversations with homosexuals, I believe we are all born heterosexual and through the words and actions of others some choose the homosexual lifestyle. By this I mean some who are sexually abused as children, have early "awakenings" by the same sex or called derogatory names constantly such as homo, fag, etc. which made them question their orientation. Either way, I think homosexuality is wrong for too many reasons to write here but in the end we all must remember that apart from their sexual preference there is a human being with feelings inside.

Answer 7

I think we are born with whatever our sexual orientation turns out to be. I never made a conscious decision to be heterosexual. As I got older, I just knew I was attracted to the opposite sex.

Answer 8

Apparently it wasn't a choice for me. I recall having a crush on girls from an early age, instead of guys. While it wasn't SEXUAL attraction at the time, I was more attracted to same-sex personality and beauty, and then I grew up just like everyone else does, except I was wholly unimpressed with male physical secondary sex characteristics and sexuality, from which I fled like horses from fire after "trying" to be "normal".

NOBODY is "born" attracted to ANYTHING at the earliest stages of development though (infant), but as you become less aware of yourself and others, that's when you start psychologically deciding that boys or girls are "cute" and get crushes, etc.

Also, I don't choose to be among the most hated groups of people on the earth... nobody chooses to be constantly hounded and abused by others.

Answer 9

You know, truthfully, I have been attracted to both naturally in my life. I never chose to pursue my attraction to the woman because I knew it was a sin.

We are all bent toward sin. That is the nature of our earthly flesh. Just because I'm born with a natural propensity to sin, doesn't make it OK.

I'm not saying it's like that for everybody, just me.

Answer 10

I am attracted to both. Men aren't really beautiful, women are beautiful. I like the masculinity, and I like the woman's sensitivity. So, there ya go. But I did chose not to have same sex.

no one was born having sex anyway. lol
