I covered this at length in this thread. If you could please read and address this rather than introduce a covered point as though it was never raised that would be appreciated.
Sorry, haven't read the full post. Over 11 pages so far.

Yes I did choose my sexuality. I was not born lusting after women, getting hard ons or allowing myself to be aroused by females. These were behaviours I learned, allowed to develop and even now CHOOSE to entertain.
Hmm, funny, when I was six years old I found myself attracted to one of my friends, yet tried to not entertain it and even went as far as to start 'liking' (Liking meaning I picked a girl on purpose and proclaimed I liked her in a crush sort of way when I didn't) a girl, yet I still had a crush on this boy.

As far as erections go, something similiar happened when I saw a grown naked man in the military barracks at the same age, yet I didn't choose that biological reaction.

I also chose to resrict my desires once I got married.
Actually, you chose to have your desires for the person you love, comendable.

Mind over matter.
Ok then, float in the air. If it's so simple as mind over matter, you'll float in the air.

Quote:
If you honestly believe you did not choose your sexuality, you are either unaware of the power and control of the concious mind (and therefore may be unable to commit in any relationship that tests your decisions over desire); mentally deficient in terms of being a slave to your desires, or simply lying to make a point.
None of the above. I can give you many, many, instances where I chose to like a girl on purpose throughout my life so I could be 'normal'. And yet, I never felt any attraction to them, physically or emotionally.

If anything, why would I choose this when I could get killed over it? People would gladly beat the life out of me if they were allowed to.

Why would I choose this when everyday I hear my dad use words like faggot and faggy? Or my mom's utter hatred of most gay people? I've grown up with these attitudes all of my life.

Read my posts. I await your reply.
Ok, I'll look for them.
