Have you ever doubted your sexual orientation? How do you know you're gay, straight or whatever?

You ever had a moment when you've questioned yourself wether or not your sexual orientation adn identity is how you think it is? How did you handle that thought?
BTW, I'm not in that situation myself, am just curious how does one know one's sex orientation is 100% one's personal preference

It’s not always clear cut and orientation can be kind of a sliding scale that can and will change over time. It can be complicated.

@JustGoneNow Yeah, that's another thing, I've seen so many people who claim to be straight, lesbian and all of a sudden they change their orientation, that's what I mean, how do we know exactly what we like, and if it changes overtime does that mean one was never straight or gay?

@Ryzeup1n I don’t think there’s an easy answer for that. You are what you are, for that time… and if it changes then you aren’t anymore. People should just go with what they like and want. Labels are often unhelpful. Orientation is complicated.
