This has been the subject of great debate for many years, and there is no proven or right answer. A growing number of researchers are leaning towards the idea that we all possess at least the possibility to be attracted to the same sex, and that these desires may surface or diminish during different stages of our lives. Also there is abundant evidence that sexual preferences can change over time, and that earlier attractions to one sex may be just as real as current attractions to a different sex. Some people believe that changes in sexual orientation can and do occur.
