Most of the others have already voice my opinion - of which there isn't a totally accurate option for me to choose from.
In my experience, I was raised very conservatively, so I never entertained the idea of engaging in sexual behavior with someone of the other sex. But I recall many times feeling 'excited' and uncomfortable as a result when girlfriends were more physical with me, or when I saw them naked. I chalked it up to me just being unused to those situations. Even when I happened upon my grandpa's stash of playboy magazines, and enjoyed sneaking peaks at them while visiting my grandparents, I just thought it was because it was forbidden. But when I made the choice to actually engage in sexual behavior with another woman, it felt NATURAL, and NORMAL for me.
I could have gone my whole life without acknowledging any interest in women and I don't think I would have 'lost' a part of me but only because I am bi-sexual. For some who are STRONGLY homosexual in their brain chemistry, I would see it as less of a choice. In my case, where it wasn't a strong drive so much as an interest, it was a choice to engage in some sexual behavior with the same sex.
Sexual preferences vary so much that hard and firm extremes are more rarity. I think choice AND genetics BOTH play a role in where you end up.
