How do gays know they are gay?

Answer 1

because his body knows what it wants and will be a homosexual just so it can make the body happy Homosexual isn't "who" a person is, it's having sex with a person of the same gender. A body doesn't "want" or not "want"...the "person" wants or not. Gay (used to refer to a state of happiness) is often a reference for a preference or regular practice of same gender sexual acts (or a lifestyle/community associated with such practice). And amongst some groups the word gay is a derogative term used to describe something as ridiculous or dumb. Q: "How do men know they are gay?" A: The same way other people know they are "gay", they conclude it for themselves. The conclusion is based consciously or subconsciously or both: based on highly debated theories: Genetics (born that way). Coping or social adaptations (extreme loneliness, or unmanageable anxieties or constant rejection with the opposite gender in intimate situations). Hormonal issues. Nature's way of saying we are over populated, but the mammal instinct to breed is built too strong to "turn-off". Pressures from social, cultural, religious influences that sex is dirty and bad but we'll use it to sell anything we can. Something new, different, or chic, a rebellious determination. The human need/desire for love, affection, intimacy, support from someone who best perceives what you want/need, and who's wants/needs you can best perceive (associative bond). Ultimately the choice is yours whether to be "gay" or be addressed as such. You can have homosexual experiences with out being "gay" or "bi", or you might not ever have anything but hetero or no sexual experience and be labeled as "gay". Just be who you are, and let things happen naturally. Not having a girlfriend, or not having hetero sex doesn't mean anything except that you don't have a girlfriend or your not having hetero-sex. It's no one's life but yours, stop allowing others (including society as a whole) from trying to make you wear a "one-size-fits-all" label. Be the "who-you-are" that you are now...now is what counts...now is when we live. The past has gone, and the future has yet if ever to arrive. Experiment if you feel the need (read up on safe sex no matter who you are with), or shrug it off as someone else's problem. You are human, you have a name, and you have some sort of gender...that's all the "label" anyone needs.
