Quite an interesting point of view you people have all brought up. I think then that based on the many philosophy that many of you have on this subject, I think many of you will then agree with me that a person's sexual orientation is not exactly stable until the person is dead. Since a person can develop a sexual attraction to a specific group of people any time, then you should not consider yourself either straight or gay because there is potential to poses more.

How do I know I am gay? Because I find guys sexually attractive and most women to be annoying and ugly. It's a natural instinct to me, I find the males much more pleasing to the eye. I am no expert on this, but I believe I have read that when you are attracted to someone, that means subconsiously or instinctively they have good genes. Hmm...

Well, I'm an authority on that, considering that I myself am a gay guy! Har-har!

You want a good look at the lower rings of Hell? Read a little bit about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Just spend a while reading about it, and then consider the rest of what I have to say.

OCD and the need for sexual intimacy work very similarly in the human brain, and they are alike in our subjective experiences of them. If you are a gay man, you will find in time that you cannot walk through a crowd without evaluating the characteristics of people of the same sex who happen to be there. When you masturbate in the morning to remedy your morning wood, you will not be able to ward off images that quite frankly you DON'T WANT while doing so.

Suppose that there is a guy that you know that you find yourself attracted to. You might think that you can put it out of your mind, but in the end you will find yourself in the pathetic and pitiable position of writing love letters and throwing them into the fireplace as quickly as you can finish penning them.

In time, you'll find yourself turning to look at your rear-end in the mirror. It's really quite embarrassing to realize that you are doing it, but here is the thing: in the primitive part of your mind, it really is that important.

But you know what? Gay guys don't have to go through a single thing, left to their own devices, that straight people don't have to deal with. In the end, it's just as obvious if you are gay as it is that you are attracted to the opposite sex if you are straight.

But imagine if, instead of being praised for it, suddenly half the people in your life will either be devastated or never want to talk to you again. Lower rings of Hell, man.

How does it feel to be straight?
How do you know your straight?

If you can answer these questions, you'll answer your first two.

Considering it's damn near impossible to even condition an adult to switch orientation (and I only say damn near because people are still trying -_- ), I'd say it's stable enough to at least fit them in one of the four rather broad categories we typically use when labeling orientation.

As a bi female, I realized my orientation when I figured out that I like boobs. They are good things, and regularly catch my attention - that's just part of who I am. However, I am still quite fond of a certain aspect of the male anatomy, as well, and that is also part of who I am.

See, this exactly the point that I was trying to make. The urge to have feeling for a specific group of people and to consider yourself to associate with more than one orientation is becoming increasing popular. Can we blame the increasing liberal values in the world for some of this new changes or it is something that mankind have within them prior to their birth. Then again, this will go to the question of nature vs nurture. I personally believe that in this case, we have no control of whom we feel attracted to and when we feel it.

When you feel the urge to fap to the same sex, that's one indication.

Let's be honest, here:

All porn is pretty ridiculous. Funny faces, sloppy noise, and goo everywhere. Fucking is fucking ridiculous.

EDIT: And I say this as a bisexual who is fond of porn. :)
