But I knew before I'd been with a guy as well (even if I was in denial for a bit about it). When I thought of boobs vs chests, and compared other private parts, it was easy to tell what appealed to me and what didn't. It took me a while to get to that point because I was raised more conservative and simply didn't think in that way, so I did have "crushes" on girls while younger, they just weren't sexual crushes.
Touching on what sweetlad said about the sister stuff, I do wonder sometimes if having two sisters influenced me. They tried to make me into a gentleman who respected girls and didn't view them in a bad way. The one closer to me, guys often asked, 'Do you know your sister is hot?'. I found myself sometimes feeling uncomfortable about it all. But then, my mom has two gay brothers - strong genetic evidence as well, and very likely I'm gay by birth. How I was raised, I supressed for a while... but I'm confident this is who I am and that it's not something I can change.
Perhaps it was living in a rural area where I haven't met a lot of gay friends, or perhaps it was again the influence of sisters, but I do usually feel more comfortable around girls. The majority of my best friends are girls, and I enjoy being 'one'of them to an extent (not that I'm girly, but I can appreciate Sex & the City and a strawberry daiquiri ). Of course now they're all having babies so the dynamic is shifting a bit, but all my sisters' kids are girls so far so I'll be around girls for years to come I'm sure
