A friend insists that environmental factors alone can convert a straight person to a homosexual. I strongly disagree. What do you think?

Answer 1

Only straight Women can change their sexuality

Answer 2

I think not. I only think it is just the person's choice whether or not that they are homosexual.

Answer 3

Only straight Women can change their sexuality

Answer 4

I disagree because I don't think sexuality can change. I'm bisexual personally and while I first began liking girls romantically, guys were who I first got sexually interested in. I mean, later on I did start to like girls sexually too and guys romantically as well, but my point is that I've always liked both sexes. I don't see how someone could go from straight to gay-I've heard about cases like that, but I'm pretty sure that a lot of them were just always closeted gay, lesbian, or bisexual people.

Answer 5

i think your friend is trying to convince you to have gay sex with him

Answer 6

I disagree as well. That's not how sexual orientation works

Answer 7

She is a high as ****, *****.

Answer 8

You are correct. Back around 1990 a Swedish and an American research team working unknown to each other researched why some people were born to be gay. Both found the same cause which was the featus had inherited a wrong Chromosome which is supposed to turn a certain hormone production in the brain on at puberty to make male brains sexually attracted to females. The female brain is not supposed to receive this hormone but if a wrong chromosome switches it on in their brain then they become sexually attracted to females as a male's brain would.

Answer 9

Sexuality isn't strictly black and white, there's lots of shades of grey. I think most people if they thought about it
could say that they've seen a member of the opposite sex and of the same sex they find attractive in some way

Social factors, however, push us to define ourselves by one basic label. You could be a woman that feels a strong emotional and physical attachment to women, but still sometimes find a man attractive. You could be a man that insists that he's straight and has only ever been straight but develops a deep emotional intimacy with another man.

So while I don't think true orientation can be changed, I think people's inherent bisexual nature can cause us to choose one label or another; I think a lot of bisexual men out in the world a rampantly homophobic because they think gay people can /choose/ to be with an opposite sex partner, since they feel attracted to both but call themselves straight. So someone "turning" gay is really just someone shifting that label to something more comfortable, not inherently changing.

Answer 10

If men are in an all-male environment for an extended period of time, many will allow gay men to service them and will even begin man-to-man relationships.

So the answer is yes.

The environment can be a big influence on male-to-male sexual expression.
