I don't know exactly how I came to be reading or posting in this community, but one of my friends' friends lists had it and well, here I am and interested in the discussion so... yeah.
My best friend for a zillion years (since we were little) is a gay man that has (almost) never found women attractive - but (stereotypically, in the sense that he's still a guy) he's extremely aroused by porn featuring girl/girl activity. So I wonder if it's not that unusual. For him - it's all about "like and like" I think. Homosexuality is what 'works' for him, regardless of gender.
I'm a poor judge myself. I'm finding myself becoming 'more and more bi' as the days go on, and what I find arousing can be quite different from time to time and is frequently even rather odd.
To the point of the original post: I think sexual response is incredibly mental, but not ruled by it. In clinical settings, psychologists are sometimes in a position to counsel women who have been raped and, though the event was irredeemably negative, it's a fact that some women experience orgasms during their rapes: a contributing factor to considerable post-traumatic stress. Sometimes our bodies just do what the neurons tell them to do.
