There was an interesting article I was reading about how childhood experiences can affect someone's subsequent orientation, this was just a theory.
Honestly, I have heard from someone else about a personal link between social anxiety, low self-esteem, and homosexual thoughts, the "pendulum" you speak of I've experienced myself. I think I've gotten into this strong, ingrained habit of being attracted to other guys especially when I'm feeling bad about myself, but this happens in general too.
Like I said, I believe there are multiple reasons for being attracted to men, it's not a fully understood subject.
Anyway, thanks for the reply! I might take you up on that PM offer later.
No prob. Consider it an open invitation.
And yes, I agree there are as many theories about what "trips our triggers" as there are guys with cocks.
I've simply come to the point in my life where I don't judge any of it--as long as it's between two consenting adults of course. And I also think in all of human history there's never been a better time to be accepting of all the different experiences that can be had in the world. Still, we have a long way to go, but it all starts with love (of our self and others).
Peace.
