Question:
i am wondering if homosexuality is a genetic disposition, and if so, what are the chances for two children in the same family to be gay. i am 27 yrs old, married for five yrs..my brother is 32 and is gay and i have alot of sexual feelings about women. i am not sure what to do about this. could my fellings just be brought on by an unhappy marriage? but yet, my attraction to women has been a life long thing, as far as i can remember. i am also attracted to men. i have been having feelings about a close female friend. i can't seem to stop fantisizing about her. i don't know how to deal with this. i have a low sex drive to begin, and am on effexor xr 175mg a day. i also have been diagnosed with poly cystic ovarian syndrome. could all this add up to my desire for women?

Hi,
While I certainly think that there COULD be a genetic component to sexual orientation, I don't think that's what you're really asking here. It sounds more like you're wondering about your own sexuality. If you read back through some of the older questions I've answered, you'll see that I typically tell people that deciding your sexual orientation is a personal matter, and not a question I can answer for you. If anything, you might end up deciding you are bisexual just because of your attraction for both men and women.
I don't think that your low sex drive or medical condition have anything to do with your sexual attractions (although they can certainly effect your sexual desire and functioning).
Depending on your level of personal comfort with the idea of being lesbian or bisexual, this might be something you decide you want to talk to someone about. If you are still seeing your marriage counselor, maybe you could set up some one-on-one time or something?
Good luck!
