In my much younger days, I visited several psychiatrists to try and answer that question. They each had their own theory and each one was different.

1) It was choice but I was to afraid to admit it. If I allowed myself to be seduced by a woman I would suddenly "discover" my heterosexuality.

2) It was down to my upbringing - the fact that my 3 brothers are married with kids and had the same upbringing sort of blew that one out of the water.

3) I was abused as a child and that abuse was so traumatic I couldn't remember it. Well, if it did happen, I still don't remember it.

There were several variations on the above themes.

The only psychiatrist with whom I really ever connected told me the following:

Nobody knows why you are attracted to boys and anyone who tells you they do is lying. Don't waste your life looking for an answer that doesn't exist.

So I haven't. Sorry it doesn't answer your question but that is my take on it.
