Poll: are peoples sexualities subject to change during their lifetime?

A few people experience fluid sexuality. Most don't. I highly doubt you'll turn straight. People who apparently turn gay usually don't; they always were, and were repressing their sexuality. A lack of sexual attraction doesn't automatically mean an unhappy relationship, although it does tend to end with the gay partner feeling the need to date people they are attracted to.

For a lot of people, their sexual attraction is pretty straightforward, and the hesitation comes from doubt and shame forced on them by society and their upbringing. You may worry that you'll wake up one day and need a man, but that's highly unlikely. Society doesn't condion people to think they're gay when they're not. You recognise the attraction, and so it's there. What if you wake up one day at the age of 40, and realise you're not going to turn straight, and you've wasted 22 years?

Anyway, what's wrong with giving your kids two mothers?

 

It depends on the person.

I would never go with a woman. I am 100% gay

 

i voted yes because i believe, that while not common it is possible

 

I can only speak for myself when I say no. I don't really know chemically/biologically speaking what sexuality is but my bet is that you are born with your sexuality and it doesn't change. Wether you are gay/straight or anywhere inbetween.

 

What I think is you are born straight or born something else.. Wether that be gay, bi, pan, trans etc.. It is your behavior that determines if you act the way you feel.. You might be gay but live a straight life for example, but the fact of the matter is.. You are always going to be gay, so I would say it depends.. It's not actually your sexuality that changes, but rather your behavior regarding your sexuality.

 

In my personal experience, I think that it can be subject to change, seeing as that's whats happened to me a few times actually. Of course, this doesn't have to happen/apply to everybody, but I do believe in the idea that sexuality/gender are fluid.

 

I would say no. I think that people's sexuality will never change. What they think it is or whether or not they know what it is will though

 

i mean mine did. when i was 18 attraction to some women started happenin

i mean it just can happen i think. to some people y'know. it may hit you out of the blue one day or it never will but...

i mean but i see my sexuality and my gender as both things that really unlocked so to speak. like sumthin was already there but as my brain developed more they came about.

 

This is a really difficult question to answer. I think it's kind of yes and no. Your sexuality is innate and it doesn't change, but develops overtime. The development happens with growth and experience and can be repressed by isolation and fear. If you are into one sex genuinely you'll probably always be but you might find that you may also be into members of the other sex as time goes on. It's confusing and different for everyone. Your sexual identity may change but your sexual orientation is innate and develops based off your age and experiences.

 

Whether it's genetic, or it develops after birth, changing just depends on the person. Some people may develop some fluidity among their lifetimes.

Personally, I always have sexual attractions when I see guys. Yet for girls there's just no attraction. I can feel strongly emotionally attached and romantic to both genders, but I don't have any attraction towards females. It's not there. I don't feel it.

I can recognize that a woman is beautiful. I can admire her looks. Sometimes I might even get a little envious. Though that dives into some gender identity confusion I've been having all my life.

Given that I'm already 19, I doubt this would change. Most likely I would end up with a male. A female relationship could theoretically be possible for me, but it would have to be a consensual celibate relationship, and I doubt I would actually go for that unless in the future, things changed.
