I don't question that there are many people like GD who just don't have any attraction for the same-sex and I don't think we really have any ability to change who we are attracted to, at least not in a healthy way. Still, I think that there are many many males, who have thought about a same-sex encounter, who would never reveal it to anyone in a million years.

Yep, I'm with you there. We may learn to appreciate brunettes, but if redheads turn your head, they always will. No matter how great a brunette you're with. Attraction is not something we can control, though we might be able to expand the range a bit.

Thinking back, I probably should have been afraid to talk to my then-boyfriend-now-husband about being attracted to women. I didn't even have a word for it. We were living in Montana, a very redneck place, where standing out in any way can get your *** kicked. By rights, he should have been a good little redneck boy. And here I sit, knowing that once again, "one of these things is not like the other ones..." But once the "lavender lightning bolt" hit, I never hesitated to tell him. Of course, it worked out for us. It could easily have gone the other way.

I was probably a Kinsey 2 then. I've since moved on the scale.
