The continuum

When I use the word continuum, I mean that no two people have the same sexual attractions.

Instead of thinking of it as a line graph between heterosexual and homosexual; I think of it as a scatter plot with homosexual-heterosexual on one axis and penis-vagina on the other; each person has their own individual dot on the graph.

I think of it the same way i do biology. Humans start out gender-neutral. Not both, but neither.

As genes turn on and hormones start flowing, our body takes a unique shape. One way is towards female and another way is toward male. Since no one will receive the same amount of hormones at the same time, everyone's gender is going to be slightly different than the others. There are definite males and females but everyone is unique

I think everyone goes through unique experiences while discovering their sexuality.

Some know they have no interest in the opposite before puberty. Some don't find out they're attracted to the same sex until menopause.

Right now a vast majority of people are attracted to the opposite sex and have never questioned their sexuality.

As society becomes more accepting, I think we're going to see a higher number of people open about their same sex attraction.

This doesn't mean that everyone is going to be bisexual. Just that, hopefully, everyone will be free to express their feelings openly.

As a side note, I'll also think there is a distinction between people with an innate predisposition and people whose behavior is based on other factors. There are people who are genuinely attracted to the same sex and there are others who will have sex with someone of the same sex even if they really aren't sexually attracted to them. I think this really confuses a lot of people. But, people have been having sex with people they weren't attracted to since sex began. Sex can be used for much more than satisfying a sexual urge.
