Can a straight guy become gay and viceversa or is it just coming in and out of the closet?

I led a "straight" life for a long time, never realizing what my "problem" was. In general, I just wasn't happy. But I didn't know why. In my oppinion, we are born this way. In my case, I grew up in a very small town, my graduating class only having 67 people. And a "gay person" was somebody who was effeminate, talked with a lisp, and could be easily singled out. There was on guy in our town who everyone knew was gay. Personally, I never thought of myself being gay. It just never crossed my mind. My every notion was validated in one way or another that I wasn't "that way". But when I finally realized that I was gay, I didn't want to accept it. But I finally did.I fought it for a long time, but one day I decided to accept myself for who I was. And I did. I don't think anyone can really "switch" sexual preferences. It is really hard to figure out sometimes, but when we are true to ourselves about what we truly want, we can then be satisfied with our selves and who we are, and what we want in life (even though it is difficult sometimes). Today's society, so it seems, makes it a choice as to whether you want to be with a guy or a girl. I think that is wrong. If I had a choice, I would want to be with a woman, but I am being true to myself now. I didn't swith sexual preferences because I wanted to, but only because that's who I am.

I wonder if a straight guy that becomes gay, has always been gay but he didn't accept it before or if someone can really "switch" sexual prefences...

Straight Guy With Gay

People don't "switch" sexual preferences. Mostly it is just coming out of the closet or going back in. Also, someone who is mostly hetero (say 80% hetero, 20% homo) might prefer to be with women when women are around, but might have sex with men when there aren't any women around (for example if he's in prison, in the military, or on a ship out at sea for months at a time.) Some people call this "situational homosexuality."

Why would that happen? The whole point of people coming out of the closet as gay is because everyone expects you to be straight.

most of the times a gay is just born that way, with his sexual preferences written on his gens. though we shouldn't ignore the social factors too. Yes a biologically straight guy can be raised up in such way or be brainwashed that he likes men and indeed like them. As for vice versa... no a gay no matter how he ended up to his sexual preferences can never be a straight guy again.

Only bisexual people can switch sexual preferences.

Think of it on a scale of one to ten.

One on the scale is completely straight.

Ten is completely gay.

People can be anywhere on that scale.

The ones in the middle can switch back and forth.

A person can be a closet gay or that he is bi sexual, in the later one, it is only a phase of life.

no i just think it's a phase that they are going through. but on the other hand if he's been feelimg that way for a long time then maybe he could. that goes for women too
