I know that most secular sources will say “No” or “Possibly, but it is extremely rare.”

I would like to know if there are people on the forum that are well educated on this topic in the forum. I’m sure many would like to give their opinions and conjecture who don’t have the real study necessary to answer the question. But I most importantly would like to know what people have to say who are studied on the topic or have a fairly direct personal experience to share.

I mean, why not?

Human attraction is a rather fickle thing, IMO
 
I believe @Prodigal_Son might have something to say on this.

Uhhhh… “SSA” means same-sex attracted. It does not mean “not opposite sex attracted”. Some of us are both!

Like me, for instance. I never “became” attracted to the opposite sex. I always was. And I’m happily married.

Is this a road map for all people with SSA? Certainly not.
 
I haven’t studied on the topic. I’ve known a lot of people who this forum would refer to as “having SSA”.

The answer is that some people “with SSA” also have some degree of attraction to the opposite sex, and some don’t.

Also, some people “with SSA” can have a happy marriage to someone of the opposite sex, and some either don’t feel they can have this, or else do feel that they could have this but do not meet the right person to have it with.

All of this depends heavily on the individuals involved. People “with SSA” are not all alike, and what one does or feels they are able to do does not necessarily work for the next one.
 
No worries. You were right that I had something to say about it! 🙂
 
When I think of SSA I think of myself as a heterosexual woman married and divorced. I know I could never change my sexual orientation even if I made a “go” at it.

Good subject, I’ll be curious at others’ thoughts on this manner.

This is important. I have never seen a person TRY to change their orientation and succeed, although I have seen people whose attractions gradually change of their own accord, over time.

A person with SSA could be attracted to the Opposite Sex (OSA). I don’t know if anyone actually did therapy and changed their orientation (correct me if I’m wrong). To be blunt, if God calls you to the sacrament of matrimony, then so be it. People can change, their attractions though, well, I don’t know the psychological genesis of a person with SSA so I am not qualified to answer 😶

I agree with you there. The people I know who could change were all people who had some attraction to both genders all along, and went from leaning one way when they were young to leaning the other way as they got older.
 
Sure, why not?

Contrary to what you might hear elsewhere among so-called experts, some people are only homosexual during part of their lives, and switch for different reasons. The idea that homosexuality is an immutable characteristic just isn’t bore out by facts.

It’s not immutable for SOME people.

For other people, it may well be immutable.

As I said, be careful about generalizing what some people are able to do to the entire large group of everybody.
 
A lot of people experiment when they are young with their sexualities, but ultimately grow out of it. Hence, terms like “lesbian until graduation” and “transtrenders.”

Personally, I don’t understand the appeal. People pigeon hole themselves and might find it hard to discard that identity when they no longer want it.
 
Of course!!
Having said that I’m not saying it’s probable for all.
There are famous cases where this has happened. (Sy Rogers, Alan Medinger) Of course people can have their doubts whether they are true but unless you are the person how do you know it’s not possible?

The next question is whether a SSA person can be married to opposite sex?
I also think Yes.
The thing to remember is that this isn’t a all or none effect. Even if a person is 80%SSA and 20% OSA then I think they can still have a happy holy marriage.
Which brings back to the original point.
Secular society is arguing that it’s impossible for a 100% SSA person to become a 100%OSA person. I agree. But I’m saying maybe it’s not that hard to regain a 20% OSA and then get married!
 
I would just be divorcing it for another loveless marriage with pharmacy school.
