I "fathom" gay attraction completely, having experienced it before.
But why do we lie to ourselves in our political correctness, and DEMAND that EVERYONE IS either precisely 100% heterosexual, precisely 100% homosexual, or precisely 50% homosexual and 50% heterosexual?
Maybe there is a spectrum?

Imagination for what?

I find women thoroughly hawt, cute, relaxing to look at, and am almost defenseless against their whiles. I find that attraction very natural.
Me too, but I also like women that are stronger and capable of do "manly" things, always looking cute of course.

Homosexual attraction is for me a forced "Let's see if THIS mindset can work, if I really try". It's more picturing the penis than the person -- and the pleasure associated with penises is easy to relate to, because I have one. (Maybe this should be in the Adult section. In the necessity of being clear, I realize I'm being graphic.) So, I can more easily relate to exactly what another guy is feeling than I can to another girl. But, as I've said elsewhere on the forum, my attraction to men is a mental switch, which I have to switch on in order to activate it, so it accounts for less than 1% of all my attraction.
There are heterosexual people who think that or might wonder that, it's real hard for some who like women to put in a situation when they don't like women, people have wondered, why on earth he doesn't like women, he is missing on a lot of good stuff? which sounds very funny, I don't see a problem with that myself, maybe being bullied in the past made me realised a lot of things, one is respect and support for differences in people that don't do any harm, yeah, that's right, don't do any real harm, other than..... well, you know.

This process of mine was begun as an experiment, to see what all these gay guys were raving about so much -- I just couldn't see the appeal, so I thought I'd give myself an education, and get in touch with my feminine side. We've all got male and female elements within our brains, even though usually one or the other is genetically suppressed.
What kind of experiment? I guess no dating for now, would be a good idea, you wouldn't get in trouble for that kind of "experiment", just don't let the church to find out.

Now, I LOVE sex, but I restrain myself from participating in it, since I'm not married, and I believe sex is wrong outside of marriage. I am also taught that it's wrong for everyone else as well, but I'm not going to forcibly try and stop them -- that's between them and God. So, I can TOTALLY fathom the desire for heterosexual sex outside of marriage; I believe it's wrong for a TOTALLY different reason than not being able to fathom it. Same with gay sex.
I have been thought a lot of things also, that sex outside of marriage is wrong, that masturbation is wrong, that same-sex relationship is wrong, listening to non-christian music is wrong, tv is wrong, etc. and I used to believe all of that at first, probably life experiences or different life situations, not sure what exactly made me change my beliefs into something different, something more acceptable and something that seems more reasonable to me I suppose, so I decided to follow a path different from what I have been thought before.
