Rather a broad statement about a matter that some people struggle with. Most people suppress any homosexual tendencies they naturally have through social conditioning. So NO. They don't "know very well". Plenty of people struggle with their sexuality. Including MANY trans people who will literally change their gender sooner than face the shame of being known as a homosexual.

So his dick isn't that big...he's just tiny.

Every family has that gossipy 'mo who loves to out their cousins who they find online doin' naughty things. Wear a disguise.🥸

If you don't ask / you don't know . I always prefer to let people do what they do on a first round. If there's something else I'm interested in.. I simply ask. Once I've met them and now am not just an anonymous voice on a telephone or even more anonymous text message...there's more comfort to an open dialogue.

I could name a few who are arrogant about their archaic misinformation . I don't think anyone is "confused"...just not up to date with current psychological opinions on the matter.

I suggest you read through the entire thread. No one is confused.

You made the point right there in your response. You automatically assumed that everyone here is gay. My question was posed to those who don't identify as 100% gay. Not everyone in the forum has his buried in the sand, pretending that he is a victim of predetermined destiny.

Absolutely. In fact I have a brother who is straight yet effeminate to the point where people often assume he is gay. He was an art student in college and certainly knew plenty of gays but said quite confidently that there was nothing remotely appealing about it to him. I have no reason to not believe him.

My wife is a best friend from college. So she was along for the ride through much of my experimenting ...she's a trooper...and a very open minded bisexual herself. The kids are still kids ...so there is no reason to know everything about their parents sex life. They are aware that people pair off in various ways according to emotional attractions and not necessarily boy with girl every time. We teach them to focus on fidelity and empathy in all relationships.

Everyone knows what "straight acting" means. I am one of those guys who is completely turned off by effeminate/obviously homosexual men. So this definitely spoke to me and how my brain works in terms of sexual attraction.

Fuck like a bunny.

I must say I did always like the Italian boys.

I feel like I'm the only person left who hasn't bottomed for Austin Wolf. 😆

Michael Balter for Science Magazine: "Twin studies of sexual orientation have suggested varying degrees of genetic and environmental influences. But they have suffered from the limitations typical of all twin studies. These include small sample sizes and assumptions that identical and fraternal twins both have the same family environments; if identical twins are treated more similarly by their parents than fraternal twins, for example, this could be mistaken for a genetic influence. "SAME FAMILY ENVIRONMENT" is postnatal, not prenatal.

Similar for me. In high school, I was a wrestler and the guys on the team were incredibly muscular (esp.considering our young age of 16). I found the sculpting of their musculature irresistible, although I did need to resist because I thought masculine boys weren't supposed to get it on with other masculine boys. ( damn.. was I wrong ! ). My earliest memory however was my first day of Kindergarten. My mother picked me up from school and asked me how I liked school. I told her the teacher was nice, they gave us cookies and milk, and that I met a cute girl and a cute boy. She stopped me right there and sat me down and had a talk with me that sticks in my brain to this day. You can think the GIRLS are "cute", but how the boys look doesn't matter to another boy. You just like them as friends. You DON'T like them in that way. A person has very few memories from 5 years old...but that event lives in my brain to this day.

Oh..I understand completely. YOU are choosing to understand it in ONE of the meanings to make your point heard. The Prenatal environment is ONE component of the referenced "environment", not the ONLY component.

From the SAME Wikipedia page that you CHOSE TO IGNORE (I will assume - to further your point...not because you forgot to include it.) "Scientists do not know the exact cause of sexual orientation, but they theorize that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal and environmental influences.;

Again...thank you for trying to promote your ( out of date ) opinion. By the way...the world is round and the earth revolves around the sun, not the other way around.

Thank you for sharing @Charlie . I love hearing stories of people's journey to love.

The researcher uses 99% instead of 100% because he believes there is no absolute in human sexuality. Using the example of very heterosexual oriented men adapting to environmental issues like jail time.

Where you fall on the scale is determined by biology. Research shows that the majority of humans fall somewhere floating in the middle. This allows for the existence of a few 99% gay and 99% straight and most everyone else can be had after three strong cocktails. 😉🍸

Again. You've made your opinion heard. Unfortunately the professional psychological community doesn't appear to agree with your opinion.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with cooking wine. The only reason to use drinking wine is that it's been sitting around for a while (that won't happen in MY house) 😉or as stated above some clueless friend gifts you a bottle of swill. I keep cooking wine in stock in my pantry at all times . White, Red, Marsala and Sherry. Certain vegetable dishes are better with a splash of vermouth instead of white wine. If you don't drink then definitely buy cooking wine. It wont turn to vinegar sitting around for months.

Great looking man Why focus on exact size of a penis ? You're not at the butcher shop buying by the pound. What you see is what you get .

I believe what Brad Bowens is postulating in his article is that his observations are that humans ( amongst many other mammals ) are innately sexually fluid and that there is a genetic predisposition toward a degree of homosexuality that environmental stimuli can trigger. So yes....some people are high on the scale and given an environment where they can act upon their homosexual tendencies they choose a homosexual lifestyle. This also goes for a-sexual people who ultimately choose a non sexual lifestyle, when they are low on the scale of both homosexual or heterosexual interest. The scale is NOT as rigid as the "born this way" theory purports. But that we start out on a scale toward one end or the other, and events can affect where we end up on that scale. The likelihood of going from one end of the scale to the other is the most uncommon...but moving along the middle of the scale most common. No one is assigned a sexuality that can't be affected unless they find themselves born at the far ends of that spectrum.
