Yes, people can and do make the choice not to act on their attraction, and to take partners who fall outside the scope of their orientation. But that does not make either attraction or orientation a choice.

The reason I laid out the thought experiment that I did is because I was trying to get anon to step outside of her/himself and understand the nature of what s/he's claiming. S/he's not merely saying what you have said; s/he's saying that urges, preferences, and dispositions are all a matter of choice. S/he would say, for example, that you chose to be bisexual. And whether you choose to take partners of both genders over the course of your lifetime or instead decide to have relationships only with members of a single gender, I think you can probably agree that that's bullshit.

It's very simple: you can choose to be with someone whom you do not desire. You cannot choose to desire them. If the latter were true, then there would have been no need for this conversation.
