can a human being become gay or bisexual all of the sudden?

Answer 1

No, you may just realize it all of a sudden though.

Answer 2

These are two differnent things. Being gay or being a lesbian mean that you specifically feel attracted to the same sex as you are. Being bisexual is being attracted to both the same and opposite sexes.

And yes, you could realize your feelings all of the sudden. It's a natural thing as you mature.

Answer 3

i'm bisexual - i knew it since i first started looking at both sexes (at a young age)

i don't believe someone can turn gay or bisexual all of a sudden, unless they have just been in the closet and decides to come out all of a sudden.

like the other answers, people can gradually turn gay/bi because of certain things that happen, like being in jail, or being molested/raped at a young age....

Answer 4

Sexuality is not an either/or issue. And, a person can become aware of wanting to do/try other things at any age.

The Kinsey Reports are two books on human sexual behavior, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953), by Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey, Wardell Pomeroy and others. Kinsey was a zoologist at Indiana University and the founder of the Institute for Sex Research.

The research astounded the general public and was immediately controversial and sensational. The findings caused shock and outrage, both because they challenged conventional beliefs about sexuality and because they discussed subjects that had previously been taboo.

Sexual orientation

Probably the most widely cited part of the Kinsey Reports regard the prevalence of different sexual orientations — especially to support a claim that 10% of the population are gay. In fact, the findings are not so straightforward, and Kinsey himself avoided and disapproved of using terms like homosexual or heterosexual to describe individuals, asserting that sexuality is prone to change over time, and that sexual behavior can be understood both as physical contact as well as purely psychic phenomena (desire, sexual attraction, fantasy). Instead of three categories (heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual), an eight-category system was used. The Kinsey scale ranked sexual behavior from 0 to 6, with 0 being completely heterosexual and 6 completely homosexual. A 1 was considered predominantly heterosexual and only incidentally homosexual, a 2 mostly heterosexual and more than incidentally homosexual, a 3 equally homosexual and heterosexual, and so on. An additional category X was created for those who experienced no sexual desire.

The reports also state that nearly 46% of the male subjects had "reacted" sexually to persons of both sexes in the course of their adult lives, and 37% had at least one homosexual experience. 11.6% of white males (ages 20-35) were given a rating of 3 (about equal heterosexual and homosexual experience/response) throughout their adult lives. The study also reported that 10% of American males surveyed were "more or less exclusively homosexual for at least three years between the ages of 16 and 55" (in the 5 to 6 range).

7% of single females (ages 20-35) and 4% of previously married females (ages 20-35) were given a rating of 3 (about equal heterosexual and homosexual experience/response) on the 8-point Kinsey Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale for this period of their lives. 2 to 6% of females, aged 20-35, were more or less exclusively homosexual in experience/response,and 1 to 3% of unmarried females aged 20-35 were exclusively homosexual in experience/response.
