I agree that everyone has a choice. You may be taught from a young age that heterosexual or
homosexual is right, but it is always a choice. |

When I was a toddler I was told that I protested when changing from dresses to boy's clothes. As I
began to advance in years, around age 8 I had my first sexual experience with the teenage boy next
door and found that I liked it especially admiring his anatomy and specifically his endowment. I did
however entertain a straight life for many years but the alternate was always there. I enjoy
intimcacy with a man and have even felt love for certain men in my life who treated me like I was a
girl and experienced multiple orgasims with them. |

Blanked. I'm no longer sure what I think about this debate. |

People were designed to be heterosexual (as anatomy shows) and people CAN CHOOSE to go in that way
or reject it. Not everyone can say when, how, and why they made the choice, though. |

I agree. I believe that sexuality not so much nature as it is nurture. What you are brought up
around and what you are taught is right or wrong helps you to decide which lifestyle to live. |

I agree that people are heterosexual because they choose to be that way. I believe that sexuality is
definitely a choice that each and every person makes. Many people believe that sexuality is
something that is predetermined in our genes. However, I do not believe that this true. Human
beings are free to love any one they want. When a human choose a partner, they choose someone to fit
their idea of a perfect mate. They choose who to love. It is not something that is within our DNA
nor is it something that is predetermined. It is something that is chosen. Therefore, I strongly
agree that heterosexuals do choose to be heterosexual and they choose with who they want to love and
be with. |

I can not tell you how, why or when I became my sexuality. But I can tell you that I was born this
way. I do not believe that you have a choice. I have a friend who was gay and believe me if he had a
choice not to be gay he would not have been. For him it was very painful the whole coming out
experience. It drives me nuts to hear people say that it is a choice. |

One's sexuality is hardwired into one's DNA just as all the other biological functions of your
body.
To say 'I chose to be straight/gay/animal-loving/etc when I was 15/25/85/etc.' is the same as saying
'I chose to never feel hungry/tired/afraid/etc. After I turned 15/25/85/etc.' |

I don't remember choosing. Perhaps if you were gay you could decide to pretend to be heterosexual or
vice versa. |

No no no no no no and no. (:
We DON'T choose what sexual orientation we are.
We're born that way.
You cannot choose to be attracted to the same sex, a different sex or no sex at all in some
cases.
Some people are just too scared to explore their 'different' feelings until they reach a certain age
when they feel they have to or they're just plain terrified of what people will say.
So when people 'come out' at different ages, it's not because they decide to, it's because they feel
it's the right time to do so. |

No one chooses their sexual preference it's something your born with not something you decide. |

I do not see how anyone "CHOOSES" to be sexual with regards to another human being.
To choose would seem to indicate that there were at least two probables from which to select to
begin with.
I do not know how anyone else is about sexual matters, but for me? I always ADMIRED and DESIRED ;-)
male attributes.....
Nothing more beautiful than a naked male. Nothing.
Look at Michelangelo's marble statue of David. Perfection. And his male attributes including just
the way his limbs are formed, male physiques are just so........darned fantastic!
What's not to like?! ;-) |

People don't choose their sexual orientation. They are born. They are what they are. They like what
they like. They're attracted to what they're attracted to. |

I'm continually amazed how many things people think are choices. Sexual orientation is not a choice.
You're born with a tendency, then experience pushes you one way or the other.
I've been straight my whole life, since before I was old enough to make choices. |

I am a heterosexual, I didn't choose, and I can't remember why or when (because I didn't choose) |

I'm a heterosexual girl. I love men! And I never made that choice, I just found myself attracted to
guys. Now, that is because it is in our nature to like the opposite sex. The first couple was man
and women, setting the pattern for us. Thus it being in our nature to desire the opposite sex.
Non-Heterosexuals choose to be that way. Because it is going against the natural way of things, it
is a choice. They may have urges towards the same sex, but they never get those urges in check, and
choose to act upon them. Going against the natural way of things. When a person steps out of the
box, it is by choice. When a person is going according to their nature, then it is not by choice,
but by nature.(for lack of a better word.) |

And I would give my right hand to be ambidextrous. IF you are Bi-sexual you get the best of both
worlds. |

I was NEVER attracted to men. I did not choose to love women rather than men; I was born that way
and I must say that I enjoy it 100% !! |

I suppose if i were to agree with this the time i chose my sexuality would be my entire life up to
this very moment and it could change tomorrow....
I will drop to my knees in tears and grab the hand of whomever is the right person kissing it
desperately knowing they'll know exactly why I'm doing it and be able to accept me for my
ridiculousness... I don't see where their anatomy comes into play in any regard... By the same
token i don't believe such a person exists but... Ya know... One day |

Who we are attracted to, I think is a similar process to emotion which is why I'm against. We don't
choose when we are scared or angry and we don't choose when we are happy or sad so why should we
choose what we like and are attracted to? That's why certain religious laws and people who are
phobic of certain sexualities annoy me as to me it is like shunning a person for feeling a certain
way like sadness.
Added: Also if it were by choice people would never feel the need to 'go in the closet' as they
could simply choose their desired sexuality.

I don't remember ever choosing to like the opposite sex, but I think that is because it is a
societal standard. I just don't think I was introspective enough at that age to really determine
what I was feeling or why it was right or not. |

I have not chosen to fancy women. I have not chosen to love my wife. If I were gay I would hope that
I would chose not to engage in homosexuality.
It's the same for pedophiles. They choose to abuse children but they do not choose to be attracted
to them.
Why would you choose to be a pedophile? If you can choose to be heterosexual then you can choose to
be gay, etc.
I have decided that in ten mins I will be gay. Silly isn't it? |

There's always the question of hermaphroditism - people born with ambiguous genitalia. Are they born
wrong?? They can choose with impunity (without punishment)..... I mean, what are they supposed to
do? |

It was known from our past that human beings were heterosexuals and they get attracted to people of
the other gender. But now science has approved to the fact that people can get attracted to people
of the same gender and there is no harm in it. But heterosexuals are not those people who choose to
be heterosexuals rather they are born with such an orientation and they need not to describe how,
why and when they made that choice. Heterosexuals are having such a hormonal functioning that they
get attracted to people of the other gender and they fall in love with them and live with them. They
were never asked to make a choice as to what orientation they would opt for as they were born with a
specific orientation. Thus being heterosexual is a very natural thing. |

People don't choose who they are attracted to. |

NO! I am in firm negative on this! I as a heterosexual believe that you are born that way! But
people have there own opinions |

I don't think we choose to be any sexual orientation.
We are what we are at birth and what our physiology dictates we will be.
Heterosexuals are that way because that's how they are physically and mentally.
What we pretend to be is another matter.
People who in fact, aren't heterosexual by nature , pretend to baby nurture or by the moral codes of
their society and this can lead to a lot of pain and distress.
Some societies have strict moral and legal codes which affect the way people portray themselves and
it's safer to pretend to be heterosexual than risk punishments.
No-one can help what they are.
Heterosexuals don't make the choice at any given time, they just are ,because they are. They choose
partners of the same orientation because that is the best way for a relationship to work. |
