Well then, he's a bisexual who turned off the heterosexual aspect of his sexuality.

We're not born with a particular preference... people turn gay/lesbian, or bi, and they can certainly turn back. It's a matter of what we choose to be.

I dunno if you are right, and tought I don't agree with it, it's your opinion and since I do not know everything you might be right but this is what I think:

We are born with a sexual preference, but that preference could change by the influence of the enviroment around us. If we change or not has to do with too many things for me to start talking about them and bore you to death.

I think your sexuality is influenced. I think what you have experienced shapes your sexuality. I don't think you have some freedom over your sexuality, but I also don't think you can simply 'begin liking' the sex you aren't attracted to.

Well I'm a bit wrong, changing one's sexuality CAN be done (Via electroshock therapy, religous zombification etc) but it will result in debiliating psychological trauma and the subject would end up worse off than before.

Well, since everyone's tossing their theories out in the open, I guess I'll toss mine out, too. Not to argue. Just to get some more opinions out there. I think everyone's naturally bisexual. We're just raised from the get-go to be heterosexual usually. Of course, in spite of that, a lot of little things in our lives can make us any number of different ways. We're products of our environment. This comes from a man whose 3 best friends are:
1.Dated girls before, but then went gay, and has only had sex with men. He's 100% stereotypical gay now.
2.A bi who also cross-dresses. Depending on his mood, he'd rather be more madculaine or feminine. He says he wishes he could change genders at will.
3.A guy who ADAMANTLY claims to be straight, but has had sex with men on multiple occassions. But, he still claims to be straight, because it was just meaningless sex for him, and the idea of actually having a RELATIONSHIP with a guy makes him sick, as does the idea of guys holding hands and kissing.
Also, my ex- was bi.
I'm straight. But, for all intents and purposes, I don;t see any reason NOT to be bi-. I'm just not generally attracted to men. But, if I met someone with my ideal personality, man or woman, I'd date them. I have seen 2 or 3 guys I've thought were cute before. I usually just say I'm 99% straight. It doesn't matter much, though, because it takes heaven and hell to make me enter a relationship anyways.

I agree with the naturally bi point, nobody could be 100% gay or 100% straight, otherwise, we wouldn't be masturbating.

I personally believe that I'm 50/50 bi, a person's sex now has no meaning to me.

I pretty much agree with Pagan (as usual). I am romantically attracted to women but sexually to men. It seems most people I hear on TV talk about a marriage can't be functional without sex and so on so I doubt I will ever marry. It would be nice, but it seems like women - in a lot of cases - are dependant on sex for *romantic reasons*. Which I think is BS... Most women I hear want men as much as men want them sexually but it's different for them because they want to listen to smooth jazz and light candles while 'doing it'. >.<'
