Yes, I know several people that this has happened to.
-
Yes it can.
-
No, I don't believe you can change who you innately are. There are some of us LGBT folk who, because of prejudice, family pressure/expecatations...fear!...who stay closeted for a long time before coming out. Or, who try to date the opposite gender to please others. But, in the long run, most of us finally summon the courage to stop living a lie or stop hiding who we are. Some folks see this as "turning" gay/lesbian, when we always have been, and they just never knew it.

I think you can do whatever you put your mind to in life! We are in a time where they have discovered on a minute level that we can physically change our DNA to a certain extent. When my kids were little, I was always very careful when they reached the ages of being able to *you know. I believe that sexual orientation is created in the little moments when you are young and have everything to do with the kinds of things that you are going through, experiencing, or exposed to during those times. I disagree that people are born to a sexuality, I believe it is a preference and that if the person is willing to change, they can do whatever they set their mind to. Too few people agree that their mind belongs to them. They allow every whim and impulse to rule their thoughts and habits as a direct result. I have a different take on all of it. It's not popular, I know... But I give you your right to feel the way you do about it I'm NOT against homosexuality at all... I just feel that if a person is going to be something, that they should own it. Completely! Never blame it away on pomp or circumstance.

No. Mine never has.

There are plenty of people who are definitely strictly homosexual, and there are also plenty who are strictly heterosexual, but I think that most of humanity has a sortof fluid sexuality that can deviate a bit from what they perceive themselves to be based on the circumstances.
-
No, I think some people can deny who they are. but you are born with a sexual orientation and that is who you are. People you think "change" are either finally owning up to who they are or are trying to hide it. I work in an industry that has a large amount of gay men in it. I learned this early on. +5 Btw, you can see examples of this in the animal kingdom all the time.
-
No. People are who they are.

Players usually don't change their team in that sport
-
Only if it wasn't really a strong orientation in the first place.
-
No. Neither does the AMA nor the APA. I think I'll believe those tens of thousands of scientists.
-
absolutely. when i was 16, i was sexually oriented to everything north, south, east, and west. today, i'm suffering from acute dis-orientation! seriously, sometimes i think that it's a matter of "what's out there"
-
yes
-
Oh yeah. I'm planning on being a lesbian a week from next Tuesday.
-
Apparently, yes. I known quite a few people who's sexual orientation has changed.
-
yes +5

Not mine sorry. I find men Gross.

I've seen two or three women who previously identified as 'straight' get into serious relationships with women. My current girlfriend is one, in fact. One's self-identification can change. Their actual orientation can not. (In other words, a self-identified 'straight' person who's always had an attraction to the same sex could get involved in a same-sex relationship and change their self-identification to bisexual. Or choose not to label themselves. But, they'd ALWAYS been bisexual. They just did not identify as such until they actually got into a relationship with their own sex.)

I think that most basic animal instinct is with you from birth if not evident it's suppressed.
-
If for example a man had a deep session of hypnotherapy,he could be persuaded that he was a woman,with all the female attributes.
-
No. However, with the right kind if initiative (such as fear), a gay man can marry and live with a woman, and even have sex with her and produce children - and vice versa.
-
Maybe. If they're the kind of folks who let others decide what's best for them.
-
Only out of fear, but then I don't think it changes, I think it gets hidden.
-
Yes. . The problem with it is peoples' definition of change. . What is change? We are who we are our whole lives, but we never stop changing. When we're kids we don't think about sex - as we grow up, we start to get ideas about it, and for many people the best thing about life (sexual or otherwise) is that constant ability for it to change and be different. . So I think sexuality is something that's realized, and those realizations change peoples' perceptions of themselves, and that changes themselves. Sexuality, at its healthiest, changes constantly. When sex gets stagnant and boring, it's really lame.
-
Yes.
-
Some people are bisexual, and they can allow different aspects of their sexuality to be dominant at particular times. But they are still bisexual. In other words, no.

Absolutely N O T !! You MIGHT be able to supress your orientation and live a LIE ... and pretend to be something that you are NOT ... BUT; you cannot CHANGE your sexual Orientation / Identity as it is with you all of the time ... from birth to death. So go ahead and live a different life .. do whatever; BUT .. you are STILL the orifional YOU ; just surpressing the REAL YOU . +5
-
Absolutely. People grow - people change - it's what people do. The idea that we are this way or that way from square one is crap, imo. I've had countless sexual awakenings thanks to exposure to a variety of situations, but I never discount the possibility of what I like today being disliked tomorrow, or something I wasn't into today being something I'm interested in next week. But there are many people out there who are stuck in sexual stagnancy, and to me, that's very sad, but to each his/her own - I'm not here to judge.
-
Apparently it's whatever feels good at the moment, as has been proven millions of times by many. Sexual orientation is a CHOICE. HAVING SEX IS A CHOICE. There is no comparison to it being like the color of skin you were born with, or the heritage/culture you come from.
-
No, I am hetero, and have never been attracted to a woman. I highly people of other sexual orientations do either, but what do I know.
-
What about bi-sexuals. I have a female friend who was married got divorced and then married a women. She is attracted to both men and women - so her orintation can and did change.
