Were you born a heterosexual?

Question

If you said yes, then how do you know? Were you instantly attracted to the opposite, or could it have been something you established later in life?

I will agree that no one is BORN gay, because babies don't have romantic relationships, and in that same way, no one is born straight. Most mammals do have homosexual tendencies, because it is natural. Haven't you ever seen a neutered dog hump another male dog?

my homosexual question for the night.

Answer 1

You are correct no one is born gay but no one is born straight either, remember that all boys generally think girls have cuties or something like that when young.

But when puberty starts you don't have much choice you either get hard for girls or you get hard in gym class.
He he
I admit I liked two girls when I was young but they were flat chested Tom Boys at the time and when they changed so did I and we each liked boys.

Answer 2

Geography makes such a difference. In some parts of the country, the right wing prevails, in others, the left. In this neck of the woods, one might pose the question, "If some scientists discover that some gays can be helped to live happier lives if they undergo sexual reorientation therapy, would that stop doctrinaire left-wingers from condemning anyone who claims that gays are not all born that way?" ___The evidence seems to be mixed. Some gays seem absolutely resistant to change, and some are better off changing (13%). But whether or not it's genetic or a result of early experience hasn't been determined, and the issue is so loaded, that the researchers with the most dramatic claims either way aren't to be trusted. ___Those Christians who condemn homosexuality per se should remember that we are all sinners, and most likely, we're all sexual sinners in some ways. And gays should remember that regardless of sexual orientation, public displays of sexuality are rude, and rightly cause resentments in others. ___More in answer to your question, gay rights groups have been trying to make the case that they were born that way, in order to be able to claim some of the moral high ground of the civil rights movement. The argument has to do with gayness being something one acquires through an accident of birth, and it's being beyond one's control, and hence, not a moral issue. ___But the data aren't conclusive, and many activists (not just gay activists) should be told again and again, "No, it's not OK to massage the data (i.e. lie) for a 'good cause'; if you have to massage the data, you don't really know it's a good cause." In the absence of such data, Christians should read what Jesus said about casting the first stone, and gays should be a little more honest about their claims to maora high ground, and both sides should be more tolerant of one another. ___Christianity isn't a synonym for "moron", either, Western science and democracy were built by Christians.

Answer 3

Junk science will say people are born gay, but how does that explain guys who used to be attracted to girls and then became gay? Not to be contentious on the matter, but I believe alot of it has to do with identity problems early in life when there's some kind of conflict between the boy and his father which becomes the foundation of an overly developed attraction towards the mother's femininity. NOT that they have sex with their mother (THAT is far more extreme than homosexuality anyday of the week), but that they have more desire for her feminine ways than they have desire for masculine ways. Ditto for girls, just the exact opposite.

Answer 4

I believe that everyone is born with the capacity to be straight or homosexual. Some people find as they mature that they tend towards homosexuality. The majority tend toward heterosexuality. Some tend towards both, making them bisexual. But I believe what the Bible says wholeheartedly, and I believe that Jesus can change an unhealthy orientation. He can change anything. But please, before you judge Christians for calling something a sin, keep in mind that ALL Christians have had nasty issues to work through in their own lives. Me too. Any Christian who denies this is a hypocrite and God knows it.
May he bless ya. :)

Answer 5

Born straight - Mom had movies of me kissing little boys on the head!

Answer 6

I don't think it's nurture because in our family of 5 children, only one of use is homosexual. We were all raised the same.

I think you are born with the your sexuality pre-determined. Straight or Gay. It just doesn't come out until your hormones kick in and you enter puberty. So in that sense, I think you are born gay or straight. Since babies aren't sexual, you won't know until later what your sexuality is.

I would say I was born straight since that is my orientation now as an adult.

Answer 7

I think it is something that surfaces later in life and not at birth. I have a few homosexual friends and a friend who is bisexual and in conversations about this particular topic (because I asked) they all told me that they knew in their early teens what their sexual preference was.

Answer 8

ummmm, i do sort of think i was born heterosexual. my parents just really avoided the whole topic of boys and girls period....but i still remember early on..even three years old, thinking a little boy might be nice to kiss, or grab his hand (in an innocent way of course) but i did not feel that way about a little girl. it was just a feeling of, "no way, yuck." i mean, i guess you could say i was influence by the very fact that my parents were boy/girl, and people on tv were boy/girl....but that wouldn't explain my feeling of "yuck, i am soooo not into another girl."

Answer 9

We are born with instincts. Most animate things are. We are naturally attracted to the opposite sex at a very early age. Our minds decipher what we think is attractive or not. Like a baby will like a blue ball over a red one. It is just a natural instinct. Some people vere from that natural instinct and begin to feel emotions for the same sex. It twists their instincts into doing more and more of that. What makes a homosexual? Their upbringing. My childhood was different than yours. I have developed, from that, a different persona than you. A homosexual person's childhood will contain a factor which causes or contributes to that. It's childhood differs from mine or yours, hence a different set of traits, perhaps one being homosexuality, will form.

Answer 10

I was born with the male parts that were made to fit and work together with the female parts. So yes, I would say that I was born with the purpose of being with a woman rather than a man.
