I think our sexual identity is hardwired into us (biological) and it doesn't change. What does change is our understanding and acceptance of our sexual identity and how we display that level of acceptance. I believe sexual identity is more complex than just the 3 main choices (gay, bi, or straight). Peoples' sexual identity can be anywhere along a spectrum and as they are figuring out where that point is, or if they have already accepted where that identity is, they may have sex with either gender depending on a lot of other factors…including the sexual energy in the air.

Our daughter is a neuro-psych major and she has had multiple classes now, where they speak about the fact that with PET scans and other brain scans you can see and tell the "attraction" hard wired in, as you say, to "straight" and "gay", but there is nothing beside those two. Thus, for now, based on pure neuroscience they say that "bi" does not exist. (Please don't yell at me about this...I am telling you what is being taught at some college campuses). They say that "BI" is just straight that is willing to experiment with "what feels good" or "gay" that is likewise, willing to "go outside their actual biological attraction", since it is "socially condoned" and again, "feels good".
You decide. I am not sure I buy it. Just because they cannot measure it, does not make it real, and I have known a couple people, male and female, that can go BOTH ways very, VERY easily...and I would have considered them DEFINITELY "BI" and not gay or straight...in my book, anyway.
