When a straight person engages in a homosexual act  does that make him/her a homosexual?

A homosexual is defined as someone who is romantically and sexually attracted to the same gender.\n\nThe key words there are "romantically" and "sexually". If a straight guy has sex with someone of the same gender, the action may be a homosexual action, but that doesn't necessarily change the persons orientation. They may only do it once and never again and there may have been circumstances (like alcohol or drugs, etc) to explain the otherwise odd behavior. The rest of the time the guy always has sex with the opposite sex and persues romantic relationships with the opposite sex. That makes him heterosexual. If he prefers to engage in both sex and romantic relationships with both genders that would make him bisexual and depending on the degree of his bisexuality would determine which gender he prefered to seek out most (man or woman). If a homosexual man decides not to engage in any sexual action, that doesn't mean the desire to has gone away. Nor does that mean that the man's desire to be romantic with another man has gone away either (and oddly the Bible and other sacred texts often used to condemn homosexuality only talk about the sexual act, but not the romantic act...apparently it's okay to be romantic with your own gender). \n\nThat is why it is odd when people say things like "hate the sin, but love the sinner" and then call homosexuality a sin. They simplify homosexuality often down to the action of sex with the same gender.....yet, these same people who say that this is the sin will then continue to condemn the person for simply having the homosexual desires still even if they are not engaging in sexual acts. \n\nThe basic thing that most people miss is that being homosexual isn't just about wanting to just have sex with someone of the same gender. It is about being romantically attracted to the same gender, too. Falling in love with the same gender. Sex may never actually enter into the picture of some homosexuals who are in romantic and loving relationships....yet they are condemned and told they are going to hell because it is assumed that they are having sex or assumed that just by them sharing love with each other that this is wrong (yet, do we not love our friends and family, too...and yet loving friends and family of the same gender is not wrong, why is it wrong when we find a romantic companion whom we may not even engage in sexual acts with?)\n\n\nI see a lot of hypocrisy with the issue and being a homosexual myself, I decided to stop caring about what other people think and focus my life on God without them and their opinions (because if hypocrisy exists in their opinions, then it cannot be from God). I'm a Hindu now, a religion that is very diverse and ranges on its views. When it comes to homosexuality, any condemnation that some Hindu sects have of it isn't based upon religious belief, it is usually about defending tradition or other reasons.

being gay? no.  you are,or are not.\n\nacting on same sex attraction?  yes.\n\nnot acting on same sex attraction to please others, rather than living the way you're built to? also a choice, but a stupid one.

I get turned on by cartoon porn does that mean I'm a cartoon, no.  These titles are not based on your emotions or your fantasies (or your veiwing pleasure) they are based only on your choices and actions.  I'm sure there are many people who were gay deep down, but never entered into a same sex relationship.  If you want to take the step to experiment then you might have a better idea of what you want in life.

A close straight friend had me suck his dick regularly for 6 years -- as in 3 or 4 times a week -- when we were young.  When he didn't have a g/f it was more.  He was never gay.  He loved sex. I was one of his best friends, and he said I sucked dick really well.\n\nHaving sex with a guy doesn't prove anything unless its all you want inside.  Sex acts don't make people gay or straight.  Preference does.\n\nRegards,\n\nReyn

i think just as the first person, that we as homosexuals are attracted to the same sex as heterosexuals are attracted to the opposite sex.\n\nhave heterosexuals chosen their lifestyle or are they born that way?  most will say that they are born that way.  as a straight man is inherently attracted to women. they probably can find another man good looking, but does not go further with any action of sex with him. Why? because he is not Sexually attracted to him.  \n\nSame as a gay man, we can find a women absolutely gorgeous but does not want to have sex with her. \n\nWe as humans can recognize beauty that can surround us (as with other people) but to be sexually turned on is something that is a biological feature within us. Any person can physically have sex with anyone we choose. for example,  a straight man can physically have sex with another man but is he gay? or a gay man can physically have sex with a women is he straight? I think that sexuality is a very deep subject that has a ton of variables that can not be simply categorized in to it is this because of that.\n\nhistory has shown that homosexuality has been around for as long as sex has been around.  knowing this i have come to the conclusion that homosexuality is a biologic thing.

why do people assume that calling somebody 'gay' is a bad thing?\n\nit's the same as calling somebody 'straight'. i never saw anybody get offended by that...\n\nmore importantly: why would YOU pressure somebody to come out of the closet? In this ignorant world coming out of the closet is a hard thing to do, unfortunately. I have a number of gay friends who had to go through the hard period right before coming out, and had to live with the condemnment of people after they came out.\n\ni'm not easily offended by questions, but this one is just way out of line.

Uhhh...well, if you KNOW they are straight you need to leave it alone since you are attracted to them.  That could be a disaster waiting to happen, especially if you are a guy.\n\nIf you aren't sure, you could just compliment them on something they're wearing or their appearance or something to see how they react.  If they get tense, back off.  \n\nIt's fine to be who you are, but it's easy to offend someone who isn't homosexual by hitting on them.

nothing you "do" can ever make you gay.  gay is just something that you are.  you can do everything sexual with girls but if you're still not sexually attracted to them, then you're definately not gay.\n\nbesides, if you're comfortable enough with your sexuality to actually be alright with having a threesome, then you should be secure in the fact that you're either straight, gay, or bisexual.  don't let other people tell you what you are just because of something you did.  you will know if you're gay.

That's the way gays naturally act if they are effeminate. Not all gays are that way. Many are people you would not suspect. They don't do it to draw attention. They do it because that's the way they are.

How can a gay person know what it is like to be straight?

The assumption is that you are straight, but have fantasized about having sexual relations with those of the same gender.... if you're curious about homosexual acts, but you are sure that you enjoy heterosexual acts, then you are Bi-curious.\n\nIf you engage in and enjoy both hetero- and homo-sexual acts, you are no longer bi-curious, you are confirmed Bi-Sexual :)

This doesn't necessarily mean he is gay.  Some people are just open to trying new things.  Many men enjoy the feeling as do women.  I have a friend who is very straight but enjoys anal sex.  Dont read too much into it.

If your gay chill and enjoy it...\n\nIf you are straight chill and enjoy it...\n\n\nIf bi (both) well you double your pulling chances...\n\n\nLook mate it don't matter if you are gay or straight... as long as happy and can pull and get to be with people etc...\n\nMost gays I have met (Im straight) have been funny, fun, friendly, nice, have lots of girl mates, who like flirting with them (ie if straight it helps to have a gay mate who wont pull your bird but can introduce you to lots)...\n\n\nSo good...\n\nHowever learn to fight to deal with the dickheads...\n\nNote its the relgious who are immoral...\n\nThink... evidence...\n\nWho ran murderous inquistion, burnt loads at the stake after torture and rape for healing sick folk and animals and being a hippy?\n\nThe gays or the christains and which group are into sharia law, hacking off limbs and being mean to girls... the muslims or the gays?\n\n\nPlus gays are often party animals who can organise top parties for straights... think American pie 3 or an ex boss of mine who was seen dancing the can can at the xmas part on a table dressed as a nun.\n\n\nBasically you can't solve your problem if gay it would be like forcing a cat to be a veggie or making a dog act like a bird...\n\nEven if successful said being turns into a basket case needed mental help

No.  Because in many overseas countries it is custom to greet each other with a kiss.  It is like how we in the U.S.A.  shake hands.  Men kiss men, women kiss women, and men and women kiss all the time.  This does not make a person gay.  The chromosomes, body chemistry, and sexual orientation is what determines if a person is homosexual or bisexual.

If you are attracted to the same gender as yourself, you are a homosexual.  If you are attracted to the opposite, you are heterosexual.  If you are attracted to both, you are bisexual.  And if you are attracted to neither, you are asexual.
