I had a college professor who explained it this way: He said two percent of the population is strictly homosexual - they can NEVER be turned on by a member of the opposite sex. Two percent of the population is strictly heterosexual - then can never be turned on by a member of the same sex. The other ninety-six percent form a bell curve between the two groups. I repeated this story on FreeRepublic some time ago and a wise freeper pointed out that my professor was probably bi... which, thinking back was most likely true.

I received this mail from a FReeper :

They know they are homosexual, but try very hard to “fit in” with the culture, either for acceptance or religious reasons.

I have three friends who have married gay men, and have talked with them extensively about this. One put it rather bluntly to me, that young men have so many hormones flowing, they can “get off” easily, regardless of where they’re putting their “equipment”, so there was no problem with sexual function early on, even if he preferred guys.

Research shows that homosexual men have higher female hormones, but also higher male homones (including exposure in the womb*). I think that makes them highly sexualized, so it’s easier for a homosexual man to have “bisexual” attraction than a straight man.

*this is why homosexuality can be “from birth” but not entirely “genetic”. In utero homone exposure can change the sex of an embryo, so it’s no surprise that it could make “lesser” changes to sexuality.

If the above is true, then how can we argue that they are not BORN THAT WAY?

Anyone who thinks only 2% of the population is straight must be mentally ill.

I have a friend I’ve known since collage, who is gay, tell me once he had female friends that turned him on. He was so shocked by that.
