I don't know, I wasn't offering an opinion. All I know is there seems to be some reason or some difference in thinking or point of view. Such as in the case of gay men, one leading description of the attraction is the person wanting to be like the person of interest. In other words, the gay male is attracted to a certain male in that they see something of them that they feel they themselves lack. Sort of like envy for a lack of a better word.
Straight men don't want to be the women they are attracted to, or we'd all be wearing dresses, ya know? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
So there seems to be something different going on, or ... unrelated? ..at least beyond some connected genetic or biological process, since it's a different result, desire or drive. My guess it has more to do with mysterious mind, of which can shift states or over-ride processes. idk, but if ididk I could bottle it and make a huge fortune in the luv potion #9 industry [You must be logged in to view images.

Pretty good post from Daywolf. Just wanted to highlight since I know a lot of people skip his posts (just speaking the facts).
My understanding is that it IS a choice for a majority of gays. Gay communities debate this all the time, and many lesbians, on the other hand, report that it is a choice. Gay men report that its a choice much less.
But that there are true gays who are absolutely gay regardless of their upbringing. As you stated, the attraction is entirely different than what heterosexual men experience.
True gay attraction resembles pederasty, as you stated in the beginning of your post, you just worded it a little differently. Pederasty and gay attraction among adults, male adult to male adult, is extremely similar.
There definitely are true gays who aren't just being antisocial deviants.
