This is something that i have always wondered about, first off, i'm straight as are most of my friends.We have always wondered is your sexuality is by choice or something that you are just born with.


Some say you are born like this, others say you decide your sexuality by choice some say a little of both, who knows??


If anyone can post a good answer or even post facts linking this whole topic, then i would be more than happy.Thanks.


I mean experimentation is perfectly normal from what i hear also, even if you are the opposite of what you are curious about, but i have only heard this is true.I don't know what to believe anymore LOL.


But i would really like to here everyone's opinions on here and tell me what you think.Thanks alot.


And lets all be mature about this subject, thanks.smile

I dont think that u are born with it at all, i think that ur sexuality is made by just events in ur life. Like say ur if u were a guy and the first time uv ever had summtin intimate happen to u was with another guy, by accident or just out of curiousity. I think that can change your whole outlook on things and thats how sum ppl can because gay or bi. Thats how it was for me atleast

You can't be born like htat, it's a sexual "PREFERENCE" which means your logic and reason have influence over it. There's cases in which hormonal disorders or other sexual disorders such as Hermaphrodite can make the person have hormone "rushes". But as far as I'm concerned it's all psicological, either you choose what you like and what you don't like.

sorry pabsies but i have to interject. there is no choice in becoming a homosexual, only in accepting your homosexuality. you didn't choose to become heterosexual did you? no. you naturally became attracted to women. "sexual preference" is a bologne pseudo-politically correct term that was created a long time ago by psychiatrists in an attempt to generalize something that they did not understand as much about at that time. unfortunately it's still commonly used.

I'm not sure exactly what causes someone to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or straight, but I do remember reading somewhere that recent research showed that there were biological factors in place before birth that influence people's sexual orientation.

Wow.... I can't believe I'm replying to this. You are not born bisexual or anything like that. You are born NORMAL. When you actually get a LITTLE older you may understand what I'm about to say. Your mind is not programed as 'heterosexual' when you are born. I can't get over how immature this post is....(and we were told to be mature....) You choose what you want to be. If you're straight and see a girl you like, that has nothing to do with how you were born. (wow this is dumb...) In case you DON'T have a mind and think that the way you percieve the opposite sex has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your birth. I thought I heard some dumb questions, but this tops them all. I aint tryna be mean, but this is a dumb post, it doesn't belong on a MORTAL KOMBAT FORUM, and it'll hopefully get closed.(stupid......)

You're born hetero and then influenced by society, and if you're feeble minded then you turn gay.

Actually, many scientists currently believe human sexual "preference" occurs on a continuum, whereby very few people are entirely heterosexual or entirely homosexual, and rather the majority of people are found somewhere in between. However, there are also very few people who are equally attracted to both men and women. Also, social norms and pressures come into play; while homosexuality and bisexuality are more acceptable now than they were in the past, there is still a great deal of stigma attached to them, so most people feel compelled to suppress any attraction they have to the same sex.

Evidence of this theory is seen humanity's closest biological relative: the bonobo, or pygmy chimpanzee. Every bonobo specimen that has been observed by scientists has demonstrated some degree of bisexual behavior.

well I had a theory that it was perhaps that some males were just not confident enough to speak to females and just resorted to homosexuality, but theres no way to ever know, the human mind is too expansive and humanity does not have the means currently to properly interpret why it is that something that maybe entirely adrenal can alter an entire way of life. Homosexuality has to be something prenatal though, I mean something as powerful as hypnotism cannot get rid of it, and its not like its a disease because its been around forever and its not like they could reproduce... Its got to be a prenatal hormonal disestablishment...

Haha, like that will happen. In the past, someone made a thread just like this (Mileena something), and he asked everyone to be mature and be serious about the topic. Guess what? It didnt go so well. I think it got closed.....dont remember about that part....

i believe that it is a choice. many people gave many inteligent explanations to backup their opinion. but i can't. i just think that things in life could influence you're sexuality. like jordanman said.

Honestly, I don't understand how anyone can believe it's a "choice" to be attracted to the same sex.

Look at it this way: Picture a girl who you consider very attractive. Now picture one you consider ugly. Could you "choose" to consider the ugly one attractive, or vice versa? I know I couldn't; I'm attracted to the girls I find attractive, and I'm not attracted to the ones I don't. The only choices involved in homosexuality is whether or not you choose to admit it to anyone (or, more importantly, yourself), and whether or not you choose to engage in homosexual activity.

Ok, guys very interesting, so what do we have so far, some people think it's a thing that you're born with , while others believe that it's a choice.HHHMMMM, very interesting.

But carnage i have a question for you if you don't mind.The part where you were referring to the monkey thing(chimpanzee) being tested and having proof that they had some Bisexual behavior and such.I'm a little confused as to the animal testing being compared to humans.

I guess i'm just wondering why you posted an animal researched fact rather than a human one.

But whatever man lol.

I'm starting to believe that it's what YOU YOURSELF believes as you grow up to understand these things, because it seems that it's 50/50 with the born with it or it's a choice.

it is a choice.

Each Homosexual(From my point of view) has their own story why they are Homosexual.


that is applied to bisexual too.


Hetrosexuality comes from the desire to contiune our race and have childern.


When Animal(under normal situation) during mating season will always go and look for other gender inorder to breed.

Well, as I said, the bonobo (pygmy chimpanzee) is biologically man's closest living relative in the animal kingdom. I realize that many people consider man to be separate from animals, but that view is simply inconsistant with genetic research and fossil evidence. Now, my argument about the sexual continuum is of a biological nature, in that it's a natural disposition, although it is influenced by social and cultural factors. I was just trying to draw a connection between the human sexual continuum which indicates that most people are bisexual (or, to be more accurate, have the capacity to find sexual satisfaction with members of either sex) and the fact that all observed bonobos are bisexual.

Ok, i see where you're striving at now, i have also heard that a Pig believe it or not is very similiar to the human system in certain ways, sexually though, who knows LOL.

I guess with sex it's the monkey, with a system it's a pig.



Anyway, so as far as your theory is concerned Carnage, most people are Bisexual in a nut shell.

Interesting.smile

Here's my point, if I didn't make it clear enough: the word "choice" implies a conscious decision. And even if sexual orientation isn't biologically determined, it's much more complex than a simple conscious decision; it would involve psychological and social influences.
