*I’ve wondered this myself in the past, came up with my own un-scientific conclusions. Why do some women become lesbians later in life?
Well, it’s because someone hurt them in the past and the woman just got fed up with men… or … she was hiding her true feelings, but later in life she opened up her wings and became the woman she was destined to be … or … she’s experimenting late in life.
These are just some of the thoughts some of us have had. But research says that a woman’s attraction to women can change from life phase to life phase, according to a report on NPR:
“Women’s erotic desires are pretty tightly linked to their emotional feelings,” a researcher who has tracked a group of 79 women over 15 years told NPR. “So for some of these women, they authentically did not feel attracted to women before they met one particular woman that they completely fell in love with.”
Perhaps that’s the case with Sheryl Swoops. She was married with a kid, but later became a lesbian or bisexual as she says. After her marriage ended, she met her partner Alisa Scott aka Scotty. She said she never was attracted to other women before that and she didn’t “convert” after divorcing her husband. She just met that woman.

No one becomes a lesbian. Either are or you aren’t. A woman having sex with a woman does NOT make her a lesbian. Plenty of straight women experiment or have a relationship with another woman.
Sexual orientation is a misleading term. It’s really more about who we have romantic feelings for. I think that’s why some people thing homosexuality is a choice because they equate being a lesbian or being gay only with sex.
Who we humans have sex with is a matter of choice but who we have romantic feelings for is something we’re born with.

I am married and straight and thought I would be married for the rest of my days. Turns out my husband is a lying cheating POS. The after-taste of this relationship has left me thinking I am either going be begin dating out of my race, or dating a woman. I’m open to both, rather than deal with another brother. I’ve seen too much.

there are many women out there now that are lesbians, because they cannot make it with a man. they need the love from other women instead of being with men. very disgusting to me, as a straight man that is looking to meet a good woman for me now. then again, you women are a bunch of losers and filthy pigs today.

why in the world are there so many LESBIANS today? it seems that more and more women are into other women now. very sorry to hear that many of you can’t make it with a MAN. no wonder why many of us good straight guys are having TROUBLE meeting women today, and we REALLY can’t blame ourselves for so many GARBAGE women that are out there now. what a shame, and a WASTE OF HUMANITY that you women have become.
