Girls, Why Do You Think You're a Lesbian?
If someone were to ask you why you are the sexual orientation you are, what would you say? Recently, a lesbian dating site asked its members just that question. Though this was an informal survey, made up of a self-selected group of people, the results are telling.
"More than 60% believe they were born lesbian or bi-sexual and only 6% attribute their sexuality to upbringing or a life event. Seven percent said their sexuality was a conscious choice. A fifth of respondents opted for a middle ground, attributing their sexuality to a combination of nature, nurture and choice."
This was not a scientifically vetted study. But it is still an interesting contribution to our understanding of woman and sexual orientation. And a needed one. Most studies on sexual orientation have been done on men and then applied to women. So it is always good to see more female specific information on this topic.
Whether you are gay, lesbian, heterosexual or bi, I’d be interested in hearing your take on this question. What do you think made you the sexual orientation you are?
I’ve always known, from when I was a young girl. its wasn’t until i got older that i knew what to call it…
I’d probably go with a mix of the three. I don’t know; it’s hard to imagine being any other way.
ever since i was little i always wanted kiss girls, when all my friends wanted to kiss boys. i never really connected with any boys. my first crush was a girl i knew in elementary school. when i got older and relized it was ok to be open about it, i came out. fell in love, etc.
i new i was a lesbian for years but kept it a secret. when i was five i would dream of marring mariah carey. i recenly came out.its hads its ups and downs but i happier thati dont have to pretend to be someone else.
