there is SOME latent bisexuality in everybody, i believe...but more some kind of curiosity than a true sexual preference.
it's definitely NOT a conscious choice, and mostly determined at birth, but it CAN be affected by environmental factors...i know for a fact that my partner was interested in men only before. maybe she was bi and didn't know yet, but she WAS into men, until she had a traumatic experience forced on her by them. She's done with men now, no interest at all. Now, theoretically, years of therapy may heal that, but in praxis, i believe that she will never again be able to be sexually attracted to males. Radical, yes, but that counts as "affected by environmental factors" imho.
Is sexuality a choice?
