If one grows up in an isolated chamber, and has no contact with anyone else, they'll never develop any kind of sexual feelings.

I think most would still have a libido as that seems to be the case for non-human animals who grow up isolated from other members of their species, they still seem to have a libido and hump things. Also, humans’ natural state is to be in contact with other humans so looking at humans growing up in total isolation wouldn’t reveal anything natural about humans.

Anyone can fantasize about whichever sex they want.

Sure, I could force myself to sexually picture people I’m not attracted to and the result would be that I would be turned off instead of turned on. I could technically force myself to imagine sex with corpses too, and it would be disgusting. People can choose to imagine sexually disgusting things but they can’t choose to be into it. It would be like imagining drinking pee, sure, I can visualize that, but I can’t force myself to see pee as an appealing thing to drink.

Well, according to those criticising political lesbianism and its familiarities, it's because people claiming they can be attracted to both sexes are, in fact, bisexual, and that, as a fact also, not everyone is bisexual. Now, I disagree with this notion.

You are projecting your own capacity to be attracted to both sexes to people who are wired differently from you.

I find this sex repulsive, but nonetheless can't help myself from being attracted to them.

I don’t think people generally claim to be sexually repulsed by those they are sexually attracted to.

Just because someone can be sexually attracted to both sexes doesn't mean they are.

It wouldn’t matter how many sexual fantasizes I would force myself to have about men, it wouldn’t make men more attractive, it would just reinforce that it would be very sexually unappealing to be with a man.
