Heterosexuals - did you CHOOSE to be straight?

Catholicon · Dec 2, 2007

There seem to be many people who claim sexual orientation is a choice, so I'd like to ask all of the heterosexual people:

Did you have a choice to be straight?

Did you ever, at any stage in your lives, have the option of choosing to be either homosexual or heterosexual, and then decided to choose to be heterosexual?

When did you first make that choice?

If you didn't "choose", at what age did you first know you were straight?

Did you ever, at any stage in your lives, have the option of choosing to be either homosexual or heterosexual, and then decided to choose to be heterosexual? I don't believe its a choice. I believe people are either gay or straight. Its not something they choose (unless they choose to live a lie).

When did you first make that choice? Again I have always been heterosexual.

If you didn't "choose", at what age did you first know you were straight? No idea really. Just always been attracted to men I guess.

Catholicon · Dec 2, 2007

But you answered yes to the first question...?

BigBadWlf · Dec 2, 2007

I will predict that either

Anyone who claims that homosexuality is somehow a choice will not be honest enough to actually answer your questions avoiding this thread like the plague

Or

will insist that somehow it is “different” for heterosexuals

Nope, heck even my feminine side liked girls.

Did you ever, at any stage in your lives, have the option of choosing to be either homosexual or heterosexual, and then decided to choose to be heterosexual?

no, our orientation is handed to us at birth along with our eye color and being left or right handed.

When did you first make that choice?

didn't.

If you didn't "choose", at what age did you first know you were straight?

About the first time I noticed girls weren't just soft boys.

I like men..I just can't seem to stay married to them.

Yep, I chose to be straight. But, it's unfair of me to answer the question, because I'm closer to the middle of the gay/straight continuum.

MichaelFJF · Dec 2, 2007

I chose to be straight as soon as I saw my next door neighbor getting a tan when I was a kid. She was hott.

LizzieSpinelli · Dec 2, 2007

I'm heterosexual because that's how me and the rest of humanity was created to be, and I believe that homosexuality (a sexual perversion as stated in the bible) is wrong and that anyone can choose to stray from that just like any other sin.

BelindaP · Dec 2, 2007

That's easy for you to say since you didn't have to deal with being homosexual--something you also don't choose.

tulc · Dec 2, 2007

First off: Welcome to CF LizzieSpinelli!

Glad You found our little corner of the web!

I'm heterosexual

OK.

because that's how me and the rest of humanity was created to be,

Well, that's your opinion and it's your right to believe it, just as it's others right to not.

and I believe that homosexuality (a sexual perversion as stated in the bible) is wrong and that anyone can choose to stray from that just like any other sin

Well there's some debate that the Bible teaches that but again, it's your right to believe that, all anyone here would ask is that you be honest with any questions you have and remember there are people who hold different views and they are also committed Christians.

I don't know, I don't think I had a choice in the heterosexuality. Same with my asexuality, but I don't think I was born asexual, just a result of the world around me.

No, and I don't think that homosexuals choose to be gay either, its a subconscious thing. I liken it to taste in food. I don't like tomatoes, however I really wish that I did because they are in nearly everything, but every time I've tried, same result
And I didn't really perceive sexual orientation until I started to hit puberty, at least I don't recall any type of sexual attraction at all until then.

No choice. God made me female and to have a husband.

There is no age of "knowing" such things. There is an identity period at puberty, but that is normal for heterosexuals and does not involve making any choice.

It is inherent to be heterosexual. Those who "choose" have obviously at-odds identity issues that are psychiatric and spiritual in nature.

Lol. So you just ignore the "rest of humanity" that isn't straight. How convenient for you. Kind of like sticking your fingers in your ears and saying "blah blah blah" so you can pretend you don't hear something.

Who says she ignores them? It's kind of hard to do what with all the screaming about rights and rainbows and such...

Those of us who are gay are speaking, not screaming.

It's not inherent in me to be heterosexual. Not everyone is the same.

Not to me! In fact it is a screech.

Sure it is. You were born hetero, but somewhere you picked up the idea---maybe subconsciously, but I assure you it was planted.
