Curious indeed. I actually believe it's more a question of people becoming more curious. I mean as far as bi-sexuals go i see no reason why people can't experiment, and the fact that the world is more open to it than ever is in people of the persuasions favour at this point. However i think to be "gay" is very much a from the heart thing as opposed to a "fad" thing. Many people say it only really occured to them the first time they were intimiate with a person of the opposite gender and found it completely unappealing and this leads me to believe it is in ingrown, as opposed to a conditioned (learned through social pressure) response. Further reasons make me believe that it is a legitimate lifestyle but however still holds ethical questions. For example many psychologists believe they can "cure" homosexuals, and if this is the case, it would seem to be a conditioned state of mind.......? Contradictions really don't help me get to any specific conclusion. Anyway i think it's generally more common because of a more sexually aware and open environment. xxxxx
