No scientific agency says homosexuality is not a choice.  In fact t none will say we know what determines sexuality.  Sexuality is not a box checked at birth.  Sexuality fir many changes throughout their lifetime 


Clearly choice is likely a element in determining Sexuality

I wish to change my sexual attraction. However, I cant. Not even with prayer. Being attracted to children is most definitely not my choice, but I cant change it.

If those millions of people dont reveal their secret regarding how they do it, then I cannot solve my problem.

Bit of a logical problem going from "Nobody knows" to "It's X"

Choosing is fun. However, my feelings come without my choice. They are like pain.

Why not test your hypothesis on yourself? Spend a few months as a necrosexual so you can enjoy zombie films more. Then you can know how likely it is.

I don't want that.  I could eat peas everyday even though I hate them.  Maybe I would learn to like peas

Ok, how about an easier one. Become asexual. Unless you want kids right now it's such a chore right?

Asexual would be better, considering that person wouldnt need to masturbate as much.

Choosing to be sexual means choosing to feel sexual attraction. I never felt like I was able to choose sexual attraction. No matter how hard I try, women simply arent sexy.

Scientific evidence is good for an argument, however it simply does not convince me. If there is a way to choose to be attracted to women, I simply dont see such way.

No scientific agency says homosexuality is not a choice.
"Experts agree that sexual orientation isn’t a choice and can’t be changed. Some people who are homosexual or bisexual may hide their sexual orientation to avoid prejudice from others or shame they may have been taught to feel about their sexuality."

So it's more than "likely" it's certain. You have mastered sexual orientation! I wonder if there is a merit badge for that?

I also hide my sexual attraction and not talk about it, but people around me already know that I have it.
