    Default Is sexual orientation fluid? Or fixed?

    Do you think someone can honestly believe they're straight at 20 and honestly believe they're gay at 50?
    Do you think someone can waiver between sexual orientations?

    Or do you think if you "change" it, it means you never were what you said you were before, or you're not what you say you are now?

    Nah If you're born gay then you're gay, not much you can change about it. People don't magically become gay over night or over year.

    bisexuals can probably be a bit fluid in their orientation, someone might prefer particular type of guys at one point then later becoming more attracted to women.

    For men it's mostly fixed while women are more fluid. I've read a study about this subject and the conclusion was that most men are either very gay or very hetero whereas women tend to be closer to the middle of the 'gay scale'.

    It's a gray area. I know a woman who was married, had kids, never thought about having sex with another woman, then got divorced, things wound up happening, and they never looked back.

    I think you also like females in the depths of your soul.

    Since if you would have disagreed with that study you would not have taken the conclusion there to put here.

    It depends on the cause I suppose. I think it's a multi-faceted issue and not 100% related to genetics. There is some social influence for certain people as well most likely.

    Why is that? The study didn't say that women are bisexuals by default. Just that it's more likely for a woman to be bisexual than for a man. (

    Personally I've never felt any sexual attraction to a woman. I have kissed a girl once but it wasn't my thing and I don't feel like experimenting any further. I am straight pretty much.

    When it comes to sexual orientation I think nurture plays a larger role than nature.
