A penis is made to complement a vagina. There is no choice there. Babies are produced by finding a member of the opposite sex, no choice there. (even if artificial insemination it is still seeking out a member of the opposite sex)

However a person CHOOSES to utilize the identical genitals in a recreational sex partner.

Meanwhile, Cornell University psychology professor Daryl J. Bem has theorized that biologically inherited temperament, played out through life experiences, determine sexual attraction. His "Exotic Becomes Erotic" theory says that people become "erotically attached" to those "from whom they felt different during childhood."

Most boys find girls to be different, novel or "exotic," as Mr. Bem calls it. In a typical heterosexual scenario, girls' exotic stimuli produces nonsexual physical arousal in boys. If a boy thinks he is with a potential sexual partner, the physical arousal he feels can become an erotic attraction.

However, if a boy grows up feeling "different" from other boys — which might happen to a boy with a gentle or artistic temperament — he may come to view other boys as different, novel or "exotic." This may explain how men develop erotic attachments to other men, says Mr. Bem, who invites more research into his theory.

Again, you discuss the act of sex, not the state of being which creates homosexuality.

You may spend your whole life deciding not to engage in homosexual activity in spite of the fact that you are sexually attracted to men, but that does not mean that you are not a homosexual...it just means that you do not engage in the homosexual act.

It is a most plausible and interesting theory.
