From gay to bi

what do you mean you became gay because of your environment?

 

I do believe that nothing is impossible, I think its very very rare though.
I can find my female friends as pretty and sexy but I've never had the thought of being in a relationship with them. :3

 

thats the only thing i was not sure about, lol sorry and it is possible for you to be attracted to girls sexually and romantically, but um was this sudden?

 

well you responded fast, lol had to read your post over was confused, k now um answer my question, lol

 

oh so, your TRYING to develop the feelings, like making yourself get a gf, for eample

 

I'm actually really curious about Peacemaker's question, just because I've never heard anyone positively assert that their environment made them gay. I've heard people say they are open to the possibility that environment was a factor--I myself am open to it as a possibility--but I've never heard anyone say of themselves that they are confident that's what did it.

 

I can't really know your experience, because I'm a bisexual. I feel like this would be mislabeling, and self-confusion. Pretty courageous self-confusion though, because it often goes the other way around.

Because psychology is a scientific field, and sometimes scientists disagree (but are always informed by studies based on empirical evidence).

This thesis is a bit difficult to defend. We think that we know what we're thinking, but we don't always know.

I can say that the scientific evidence does not support the thesis that homosexuality is environmentally determined. It appears to be due to epigenetics.

I used to think that I programmed myself to be bisexual. But that's not really what happened. Rather, I affirmed myself and accepted my bisexuality, rather than hating myself.

 

oh you tend to display a feminine side rather/more than a masculine side, interesting but, having attractions to girls and/or guys does not make someone feminine, straight guys can be that as well

 

ohh, that ok that makes sense hmm

well do you ACT feminine? it could just be that you appear more feminine

 

I don't know that feminine influences can make you gay but they could make you more feminine in the way you walk/talk/move and/or more in tune with women's needs and feelings (which would actually be a huge benefit if you're straight).

If lack of a masculine role model was the cause for gayness then all guys with two 'traditional' parents would end up straight, and all guys with a single mums and/or lots of sisters would end up gay, but it's not the case.

As for "turning bi".
If you've been around women all your life, then there's a good chance that you understand them better than you understand men (including yourself), so a sexual curiosity about women would be expected, even if you're gay.

Sorry if that's no help.

Peace be with you.

 

I've known completely feminine guys and butch girls who are as straight as an arrow. And masculine men and femme girls who are as queer as someone can get. Just because someone doesn't adhere to gender roles does not make the queer.
