So, I leave you with this to ponder...what if sexual orientation is neither genetic nor realized choice I.e. we remember precisely when we made the choice. What if sexual orientation is a subconscious choice we make? Is it possible that this is the case? The subconscious mind is very powerful and at the same time very mysterious. I have looked into it a bit recently and found the research very interesting. I might add that I believe sexual attraction/preference to be a subconscious decision as well. Check out the study, " Science of Sex Appeal". It is very interesting to see how at first glance it would seem attraction is purely an "evolutionary" program of which we have no control over; yet when studied in depth, the brain is very much involved and at work in our "idea" of what's is "sexy" and what is not and how society as a whole influences it.
