For the most part I think that is true; orientation is who we are attracted to. However, practically speaking, it seems to be at least a bit of the other. I brought this discussion up in light of my own experience. I've wondered, if I WASN'T repulsed by women, would I be as attracted to men? Or is it just the fact that I am a sexual being and since one option isn't even in the realm of possibility then I genuinely become attracted to the option that IS possible? I don't pretend to know the answer to this. I'm more or less thinking out loud. I haven't always been satisfied in my male relationships and I don't know if it is because I haven't found Mr. Right yet or is it something else. The thing is, I was molested by two different men as well as three women, but I am not repulsed by men. Just the opposite. Why is that? Am I the only one who has had this reaction to female abusers? Is it in fact a reaction to female abusers at all or does the reaction come from some other source I haven't even thought of? Actually, I would like to know what sex with a woman is like before I die, (rumor has it that it can be nice) but that won't be possible as things stand now.
