I actually do recall making the choice to be hetero! I have always been very sensitive for a guy and have had some typical "gay" guy traits like good taste, emotional awareness, etc... Also, I have never felt very masculine or accepted by women. Anyways, sometime after 10th grade I began to have intrusive gay thoughts, which were linked to OCD. I was too ashamed to talk about them so I never found out I had OCD and by 11th grade I was sexually attracted to men and women. However, coming from a Christian family this was not acceptable to me and hurt my self-esteem so I eventually went to a counselor(decided I wanted to be hetero). He found out I had OCD and worked through my masculinity problem, and I found out I don't have to be a supercool jock to be straight. Then, after some therapy and medication, I was attracted to only women again.
So in short, yes I consciously remember when I chose to be straight.
