smakersAllealI'm curious as to why you think this category exists. How would you distinguish between conditioned homosexuals and latent homosexuals? How would you differentiate environment as a cause for orientation and environment as a vehicle for it?
I think it exists because I don't think there's any way that it couldn't exist. Is a murderer born a murderer? Is a pedophile born a pedophile? The majority of our lives are shaped by our surroundings, whether we notice it or not. Why wouldn't it sometimes spill into sexuality?
What about a sexually curious college girl who enjoys the company of men, but finds herself experimenting with girls and decides she likes it better, so she flips? Was she born heterosexual? Bisexual? Pansexual? Who's to say?
What about a prison inmate with a 75 year term who was as straight as any man has ever been, but he becomes sexually active with men over the course of his stint? Was he born as a heterosexual or bisexual?
Much like autism, it's a spectrum.
