When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?: I never chose my sexuality, it’s something that was/is inscribed in my nature.
To whom have you disclosed your heterosexual tendencies? How did they react?: I’ve never disclosed my sexuality, it is largely just assumed because (statistically speaking) most men are heterosexual unless they’ve disclosed otherwise. And I say that “most” men are heterosexual based on the intuition pump that that’s the statistical norm.
Have you tried an alternative to heterosexuality? Would you like to?: Nah, not interested.
Is it possible your heterosexuality is just a phase you may grow out of?: Most likely not, unless the definition of heterosexual changes. You are who God created you to be.
What do you think caused your heterosexuality?: (1) Genetics (with the presupposition of creation, namely that God created genetics), (2) expected social behavior,(3) the desire to have children. I can see whether men or women are attractive, but its only women that sexually arouse me.
What do you like about being heterosexual? What don't you like about being heterosexual?: Well you know your sexuality because your body will respond to the sex you’re attracted to, as is it’s nature. I would say that’s a very pleasurable, normal, and natural thing to experience. I would say the experience itself is what I like, and what anyone of any sexual orientation likes. I love my sexuality and there’s nothing I don’t like about it. Every creature by nature is a sexual being. Life could not sustain itself otherwise. I hope that everyone sees that their sexuality is created Good and out of Love, and have no shame about who they are.
Special thanks to Carwyn for his courage and insight!
