I wouldn't want my child to think the only way you know if you are gay is if you try it and don't like it. Put yourself back in your pubescent mindset and then answer.
Going back to
my pubescent mindset, I remember quite
clearly that I never once believed that I needed to try and suck a dick in order to know I did not have any desire to suck a dick.
It was pretty obvious to me that I was straight. No confusion whatsoever. But that's because I am straight. I did not have people telling me there was something wrong with me because of the gender I am attracted to. I didn't have people telling me that I only
choose to be attracted to women and that I could very easily slobber all over a **** if I
wanted to because being gay is a "choice".
That's where the true irony lies. The people who are most fearful of having their child "turned" gay feel that way because
they believe that being gay is a choice, and are the very people who are promoting the hypothetical notion that one would somehow need to "test the waters" in order to determine whether or not they like it.
I wonder if they think this because they are actually bisexual and have attractions toward both genders, though. I mean, they
had to have been capable of thinking "I could suck a dick/munch a rug if I really wanted to" at some point in their lives in order to think it's a choice. Is the only thing that prevents the "it's a choice" crowd from gobbling knob the fear that they might actually discover that they like it quite a bit?
Because as a straight man, I know that the "only" thing which prevents
me from sucking dick is the simple fact that I am not attracted to men. It's no different from when I was 13. Didn't have any urge to do it. I don't see it as a choice because I know that I have no interest in knob gobbling. I mean, technically I
could physically suck a dick by choice, anyone could, but I could not make myself
want to do it, nor can I even fathom a situation were putting a penis into my mouth would lead me into thinking "Hey! That was awesome! I'm going to be so ****ing gay from now on! Bring on the cocks!"
I guess that's why I find the whole "being gay is a choice" position so absurd.
