life happened. 

I think it happens on more of a subconscious level based on an accumulation of your personal experiences up to that point. Once your done internalizing a choice is made. 

I had early childhood experiences (before 10). My parents divorced and it was an hour drive long drive for my dad to pick me up every other weekend. About half way between the 2 cities there was a titty bar. I always fell asleep in the car and my dad would stop and go in for a couple hours. When I woke up, I'd get out and go look for him. Ofc I ended up inside and the girls were always fawning over a cut little boy looking for his dad. They were usually top less and wearing skimpy outfits. At that age I did not know what sex was nor had an attraction to either sex. So seeing the women like that could have had 2 outcomes. 

1) make me curious about women or
2) could have turned me completely off from being over exposed at such a young age. 

Turns out I internalized and chose 1.

As has been pointed out, one guy started off straight and then based on life experiences his desires changed. Which does prove the point that the brain is fluid and can handle only so much before something causes a change in a person's behavior. 

I think some of you might be misunderstanding my use of trauma. I'm not saying it was extremely serious trauma, everyone handles stress differently. 

You have your way of seeing it and I have mine. So far neither is really wrong, but they are right for the way our personal experiences have unfolded.
