We're attempting to help you prove your hypothesis. You can choose who you're sexually attracted to, and who you're not sexually attracted to. When did you choose not to want to fuck your mom and dad? I'm curious. When did you sit down and go "I do not want to be attracted to my mom and dad, so I won't be!" And why haven't you decided to change your mind, just to see what it would be like?

So you're resorting to the "when did you stop beating your wife" argument/fallacy? Why should I respond? That's not "trying to help me prove my hypothesis" that's just getting more ridiculous and extreme, in an attempt to prove your own!

No I'm not. That would be "When did you stop being attracted to your parents?"

Your hypothesis - everyone chooses at some point if they're going to be attracted to an individual or not.

So to prove your hypothesis, take an individual i.e. your father. When did you decide not to be attracted to him? Or if I shouldn't assume you're not, alternatively, when did you make the conscious choice to want to have sex with him? And can you change your choice?

I mean, I don't think I personally could choose to be attracted to my father. He's my dad!

Hypotheses have to be tested with extreme examples to find their range of applicability. How else do you think that works?

Under your definition of attraction can you explain why someone could not choose to be attracted to their parents? Why do you treat that suggestion as ridiculous?

Well done, old chap. You are truly worthy of the moniker of old. You recall a glorious time nearly 20 years' past.

That's actually a bad example because humans are conditioned not to want to bone their parents, so free will is limited.

I bet the AYRT wouldn't be able to work up a sex jones for a filthy raving piss-soaked stranger on the bus, though. Humans are attracted to certain things, and gender is a part of that, depending on orientation.

Also agree with the person above who reminds us that Jesus forgave many people who broke biblical law and preached love and acceptance.

Eeh, not really, because if you're talking biological conditioning then you're on the side of "It's a biological thing, not a choice." And if you're talking social conditioning, most countries still have a pretty big heteronormative push.

In a less 'extreme' example though, if attraction was logical and 100% under control, no one would ever have a bad dating relationship. Or ever look back and go "Wow, they were a total loser, I was blinded by love!"

I've also seen the 'attraction is a choice' used to defend 'friendzoning' of, oh, that girl could choose to be attracted to me, but she chose not to. What a bitch!
