Does anyone here have a theory about sexual preference? What I mean is, do you guys think people are born being attracted to a certain sex, or is it acquired throughout life, or a mixture of the two?

I have been thinking about this recently, so my theory may not be all that sophisticated but I wanted to hear your guys' views. I think sexual preference could surface out of an initial physical encounter with a person. Here is my own personal example to try to explain this: I have always thought of myself as being heterosexual. I have only ever had romantic relationship with men, and I have never had any sexual experiences with women before. However, I do find myself attracted to women. Maybe I don't feel as strongly towards them as I do towards men, but in general I do find women more attractive. This made me think...maybe if I have a physical encounter with another woman, I will feel more strongly towards women sexually, and then perhaps consider myself bisexual. To apply this generally, perhaps we are all born 'heterosexual' and our first physical encounters with people of either gender is what causes us to be attracted to them sexually later in life. Like, instead of growing up kissing boys- if my first 'real' kiss was with a girl, maybe now I would be a lesbian, or at least bisexual? Since society raises most of us to believe that heterosexuality is the norm, most people automatically are drawn to the opposite sex. If this assumption of society didn't exist anymore, would there be a higher chance of homosexuality? Would it grow close to 50% of the population, instead of the mere 10% it's at now?

What do you all think? If no one responds, thats ok, I just wanted to write all this down anyways.
