It has its basis in brain structure.  I saw it on Discovery Channel a while back.

You would have to ask this question to each specific guy because every guy will answer differently. \n\nGenerally though, a guy is initially attracted to a woman physically. After the initial attraction, it all depends on the guy. Different guys are looking for different types of relationships and different types of women to be in those relationships with

THIS IS WHY RELIGION IS EVIL!!! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH HOMOSEXUAL FEELINGS AND ATTRACTIONS, PEOPLE IN GENERAL ARE BEAUTIFUL, IT IS OK TO BE ATTRACTED TO ANOTHER MAN OR WOMEN, THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU ACCEPT WHO YOU ARE, YOU WILL NEVER BE HAPPY UNTIL YOU DO!\n\nbut anyway get a sex change, then you don't have to worry about "the sin of a man being attracted to another man" then you'll be a women with and Adam's apple, large hands, and a deep voice that's attracted to men...\n\nBut in all honest i doubt your god cares if you're gay, he made you that way didn't he?

That is a tricky question.  But I have met people who have interests in crossdressers, transexuals, and women, but not in men.\n\nIt seems that in these situations, the men have a great attraction to women, but also have an attraction to the penis.  However, they feel no attraction to average men.  In this case, the person has to find people who are similar enough to women to clearly not be men, but who also have a penis.

You would have to ask their parents why they exist ;)\n\nHomosexuality is when a person's instinctual knowledge makes them much more likely to be attracted to people of the same gender instead of the opposite gender.  Nobody knows what causes it, but there are many theories.  However, evidence suggests that it's always existed in humans.  There are also plenty of examples of it in the animal kingdom.

What do I find more sexually appealing in men than in women?  Everything.  Their bodies, the way they look & feel, and it's just what comes natural (the desire to be with a man)

No, I don't think so. If you are attracted to members of your own sex physically - that makes you homosexual. A transsexual would be - for the sake of the argument - considered to be the sex that they have become. If you're male and attracted to a female (who was born male) then I think you would be a normal heterosexual. Good question!

you are attracted by both sexes

For me there has to be a mix of chemistry and personality the two need to go hand in hand together.  I suppose what ever attracts a girl to a guy is similar to what attracts a guy to a girl.

beauty is in the eyes of the beholder - or so they say...\n\neveryone is attracted to something different. be proud of who you are and what you look like. there will always be someone who is right for you and love how you look

Well the thing that tipped me off was that I was attracted to both genders.  IF you want to make love to both genders that is a pretty big clue.  ;)\n\nOK, that isn't at all scientific but let's look at it this way...\nIf you were only attracted to one gender you would be the appropriate inclination that went with that.  Girls attracted to girls but not boys lesbian girls attacted to only boys hetero.  \nSO... If you are hot for both you are bi.  pretty simple actually.\n\nNow on top of all that.  Why fret over it?  All of these are just lables anyhow.  Lables are for cloths not people. Just enjoy people that you are attracted to & don't get all worked up about it.

How can we possibly know? \n\nHave you ever had sexual intercourse? Was it with the same or the opposite gender? Did you enjoy it?\n\nIf you've never had sex, are you attracted to the same gender or the opposite gender?\n\nThere is a growing number of young people who choose not to label themselves as gay or straight, but rather bi. According to the sexual studies of Dr. Kinsey there is a wide range of sexual attraction in humans, ranging from completely heterosexual to completely homosexual, with most people falling somewhere in between. If asked, a lot of people will admit to at least one same-gender experience, and yet they do not self-identify as gay.\n\nAbout the only advice I can give is to follow your heart. If you're unsure or uneasy, stop.

I have the same problem. My understanding of genetics does not support a "gay gene"; however it is very possible and more frequent then most people think that certain males are exposed to more female hormones than normal and vice versa for females. These hormones (similar to how animals are attracted to one another) can influence whether or not and individual is attracted to males or females. Also (using males as an example) if a boy was exposed to or born with more female hormones and thus acts more feminine, he will most likely be attracted to someone who is opposite to him (hence masculine). It is more natural for feminine and masculine to attract rather than simply male or female. For example I am naturally more attratced to masculine guys, rather than feminine guys. I am not attracted to masculine women ("dykes") simply because society has taught me not to be attracted to women from birth, so my sexual preference is trained towards males...

that is what is called bisexualtiy. you are sexually attracted to both men and women. A homosexual is attracted to people of the same gender, a heterosexual is attracted to people of the other gender, bisexuals are attracted in some degree or another to both genders.

It's not against the law to be attracted to someone of the same sex. In fact, it can be perfectly natural. Just because society says that it isn't right, doesn't mean that society is right. And women do find men attractive and men find women attractive. Yet at the same time, it is very possible for a woman to find a woman attractive and a man to find a man attractive.

Factors determining sexual attraction to human males\nGustav Klimt's The Kiss (Klimt painting), oil on canvas, illustrates a couple sharing a kiss.\nEnlarge\nGustav Klimt's The Kiss (Klimt painting), oil on canvas, illustrates a couple sharing a kiss.\n\nThe initial attraction usually begins with the physical features of the human form and attire, and by a positive expression of the face and body.\n\nFor heterosexual and bisexual females as well as homosexual and bisexual males across the world, regardless of culture, the one near-universal trait of attractiveness for a man to have is a V-shaped torso: a relatively narrow waist offset with broad shoulders. While some cultures prefer their males huskier and others leaner, the rule of a V-shaped torso generally holds true.[citation needed]\n\nIt has been studied that women prefer more masculine men during the fertile period of the menstrual cycle and more feminine men during other parts of the cycle. Masculine facial features are characterized by a strong brow and a broad jaw while feminine features are less pronounced.\n\nIt is thought that sexual attractiveness of a man to some women is somewhat determined by the height of the man. In modern culture it is usually an importance that the male be at least slightly taller than the female for a long term relationship to form. Some women prefer that the man be at least a little above the average in height in the given population of males because it unconsciously seems to them as a sign of dominance and masculinity. Although height is one aspect of male to male dominance as men mature this aspect becomes less so. Height says very little about one's health and fitness in most cases in areas of the world where the vast majority of people reach their genetic growth potential.\n\nThose who believe that the muscular contour of a male is attractive will choose males with well-defined muscles. Males who make use of their hormone, testosterone through exercise or bodybuilding techniques typically find themselves more attractive as their muscles take shape.\n\nAt various times in history and throughout various cultures and sub-cultures the growth, maintenance and display of facial or body hair produced as a by-product of testosterone activity within male bodies has been considered a primary characteristic of sexual attractiveness, and of a display of masculinity in general. Cultural development seems to oscillate through multi-generational cycles from one pole to another: extreme hair growth, especially of facial hair accompanied by elaborate grooming rituals is often followed within a couple of generations by a widespread antipathy to body hair and the widespread adoption of depilatory practices.\n\nThe causal mechanism for this oscillation has not been established but differences in the simultaneous characterization of body hair attractiveness within a culture between different social classes may indicate that the dynamic force driving the diffusion of differing male body hair social practices is in fact mate selection by females.

The only other option is same sex attraction...which makes one gay or bi. There are examples of same sex attraction in the animal kingdom as well.
