Can a straight man turn gay

   He said those who changed their orientation had satisfying heterosexual sex at least monthly and never or rarely thought of someone of the same sex during intercourse.

   He also found that 89 percent of men and 95 percent of women were bothered not at all or only slightly by unwanted homosexual feelings. Some people feel exclusively drawn to one gender, while others experience varying degrees of attraction to more than one.

   Some studies have also acknowledged that fluidity appears more often in women but exists across all genders (Mittleman, 2023)⁴.

   It’s not about choosing to switch sides—it’s more like realising a new door within yourself has quietly opened. In fact, only one third of the women who initially identified as lesbians at the start of the research project reported exclusive sexual attractions and behavior toward women over the course of the study.

   It’s a mix of biology and environment— like hormone levels and variations before birth and life experiences (such as family, culture, and social surroundings).

   

   "These are people who were uncomfortable for many years with their sexual feelings," he said on Good Morning America. Exposure to continuous or fluid theories of sexual orientation leads some heterosexuals to embrace less-exclusive heterosexual orientations. Because in the end, every story of love—gay, straight, bi, or in-between—is simply a story about being human.

   Whether you’ve always known your truth or are still discovering it, what matters most is compassion—for yourself and others.

   What matters most isn’t the label we wear, but the honesty with which we live our truth. For example, someone who grows up in a community where same-sex attraction is taboo might suppress or ignore it, while another person in a more open environment might explore and embrace it freely. 1257–1282. Sex researchers have examined the factors related to women and men's sexual arousal and have found that women of all sexual orientations were more likely than heterosexual and gay men to become sexually stimulated in response to erotic images of both women and men, in heterosexual and homosexual coitus.

   But they managed to change those feelings, he added.

   The study reopens the debate over "reparative therapy," or treatment to change sexual preference. To answer this question truthfully, we must look at both the biology of attraction and the fluid nature of human experience.

   By the way, modern science recognises the brain as the true seat of emotion, so forgive the metaphorical use of the heart as the organ of love in this article.

   The Science of Attraction: Born this way or Shaped by life?

   Most scientists agree that sexual orientation isn’t something people choose.

   Studies over the years show that it’s shaped by a mix of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors—mostly happening before birth.

   While researchers have not discovered a single “gay gene,” a large-scale study published in Science found that genetics may explain up to 25% of same-sex behaviour.

   However, in order to support the people in our lives who are struggling with their sexual orientations, we must reluctantly leave Utopia and remember that we live in a world that puts limits on people's sexual inclinations and punishes those who don't follow the rules. Is sexual orientation fluid and/or changeable? Critics, though, say the study's subjects may be deluding themselves and that the subject group was scientifically invalid because many of them were referred by anti-gay religious groups.

   Or are some gay and lesbian people really closeted bisexuals?
