34. are you saying that the act of having sex isn't a choice?
My brother got married, because in his words he "could not stop having sex with his girlfriend." Still, a very tough choice, like quitting smoking, is still a choice.
I argued that I never chose to be heterosexual, but the argument was made back to me that I was encouraged to be so at an extremely young age. So the choice may have been made without me ever remembering it. Just like I am right-handed now because my parents held down my left hand when I was learning how to use a spoon. Not something I remember, but a choice that was made for me, and one that save me from years of awkward penmanship.
