I disagree with this theory. For me personally it was down to the social environment that i grew up in.

There's all sorts of theory's out that that suggests why people are gay but there's a lot that i don't agree with, there's some that could be a possibility.

Do you agree that people are born Gay?

Nature or Nurture argument really. Personally i think it's nurture because everyone is born straight it's human nature

Well when I was like in Year8-9 we took the mick out of this gay teacher. And some teacher walks up to us and goes "You never know if your gay unless you experience it."

But why WOULD you experience it unless you are gay? Your not exactly going to have bum fun to see if you like it and see if your gay... if you agreeded to bumfun that already makes you gay :S

Sexuality is a difficult subject to talk about, especially with genetics and social factors (though arguably, proven as genetic). Loads of straight males may have, or have had, sex with another man as part of experimentation or because they were in a bad state of mind. Some men take rejection by a woman badly, and find themselves doing crazy things - buying stuff they don't need, going crazy by turning reclusive and having sex with more than one person of which may involve the same sex.

I disagree with the genetic AND the social sides, simply because the world is not black and white, so neither should sexuality. Some men or women may find comfort in someone of the same sex, and "magic" might happen - whether it be a one night stand or the F buddy. It's technically what is considered "gay" or "bi", but some people only seek feelings in just one person of the same gender, bringing in a debate of "Is this gay? He/she only slept with him/her once, does this make him gay?" The answer is simply no. It's the same argument with phobias, some people who are scared of spiders may not necessarily be scared of all spiders, or spiders in a certain comfort zone, but they will still be considered to have a fear of spiders in general to save having to write out the complications. It's like some claustophobic(sp?) people are frightened of enclosed spaces in general, but in some instances they may not be if for example, the enclosed room is of comfort to them. Although not necessarily the same, it follows the same basic principal. Homosexuality and bisexuality, even heterosexuality, develop and change over time - people who have sex with lots of women, or have strong feelings for women, may find themselves gay in the future as time develops, though arguably they always have that "air" to them

I love your signature, it's so appropriate for this thread

Anyway, you can experience sex with another man if you're straight, some people (not all) experiment and may like it. The world is freaky in those cases - a man may have a girlfriend, but find himself having sex with a man, possibly through drink or if a mentally testing argument broke out between him and her

Look up prison rape, apparently **** sex is a way of asserting dominance.

Some people are never sure about their sexuality, either through their experience or simply sexual confusion, also just because you agree to have sex with the same sex doesn't make you gay, it depends if you are physically aroused by it before, during or after it, if you aren't then you're not. People agree to do these things because of curiosity of what it would feel like, not because they're sexually aroused by it, why do some people engage in sadomasochism when it isn't their fetish, to see what its like, if they enjoy it, fine, but it they don't, at least they tried it so they know they don't like it.

Personally I don't care about the origins of sexuality, usually people do because they either don't understand it or want to justify that it is wrong or inferior to heterosexuality (sometimes not consciously I might add), sexuality is a combination of biology and social influence, but there isn't some gene that makes you gay otherwise I would be suprised they haven't found it. The main theory behind it is that the brain wires differently in a way that it impossible to identify or correct considering it is done during development, the different wiring simply means that different triggers activate certain areas of the brain, there is no right or wrong way around this, if it wasn't meant to happen, homosexuality would have ceased to exist ages ago, but homosexuals have the same stability and maturity every a mentally stable member of society. The shows that the brain is capable or operating in this way and that it is a correct form of operation. Social influence is a little more tricky as you have to separate who is mentally stable from those who aren't, for example; some people may exhibit symptoms of necrophilia or child molestation towards the same sex, although they may be homosexuals, their form of operation isn't capable of existing in our society, also these people most often then not have severe mental problems or biological causes and thus are incapable of living in a stable and moral soceity, if these problems weren't there, they would be just as stable and mature as everyone else. Other than that, the experience or introduction of homosexual tendancies can cause latent arousal triggers to become active and dominant, so the biology has always been there, just simply inactive due to the lack of social triggers.
