Both heterosexual activity and homosexual activity were considered normal. There was no concept of a homosexual or heterosexual orientation. No one was thought to be capable of attraction only toward a single gender.
No, but all those attractions involve the opposite sex.
Could you choose to be attracted to more than just your wife?
Your wrong, they were BOTH the norm as already shown.

I'm repulsed by the idea of having any sexual intimacy with another man personally. I'm not repulsed by homosexuals themselves. I'm just not wired that way.

In other words, youre normal, but trying also to be pc, you know its disgusting and wrong.

No, as attraction occurs independent of choice. I'm sure I'd find all sorts of women attractive on certain levels but I'd be devoted to my wife.

Not at all, there's plenty of heterosexual practices that don't appeal to me in the slightest either so it has nothing to do with being "PC".

We're all attracted (in a nonsexual way) to both genders.
Most of these attractions guide us toward friendships.
Many, if not most, of the same factors that prompt us to pursue a mate, prompt us to pursue a friend: common interests, admiration of a particular skill, or intellect, or status. Many people even pursue friends based on looks.
Yet from this pool of people we admire, our morals, culture, and prior experiences may lead to pursuit of sexual activity as well.
A faithful husband will not pursue a sexual relationship with another woman because he believes it to be morally wrong. He will not harbor a sexual attraction for her, even if he recognizes that she is a physically attractive human being. He simply will not view her as a potential mate. He may even be disgusted at the thought of engaging in such activity.
Nor will a heterosexual man pursue a sexual relationship with another man, because of his morals, culture, or prior experiences. He will not harbor a sexual attraction for a man, even if he recognizes that he is a physically attractive human being. He simply will not view him as a potential mate. He may even be disgusted at the thought of engaging in such activity.

Hefner acknowledged having bisexual liaisons in the past: "There was some bisexuality in the heterosexual, swinging part of my life," he said. But any notion that he preferred men was "projection" on the part of Leigh, who was "obsessed" with gay life, he said. (Leigh has also acknowledged having homosexual affairs during her years with Hefner; she is now married and has a child.)
Says Hefner: "I was testing the boundaries, just knocking down walls. . . . That period of sexual experimentation is long gone."

Eh, if he did have these bi-sexual dalliances then they sure didn't last long and it's been women all the way since. Considering your 'argument' has been that a lack of virtue leads to homosexuality then try saying that to the guy who even by his own admission in the article says it's long gone. Yet he's still the most iconic sexual hedonist on the planet with an obvious penchant for young blonde women...
Then you are really an adulterer(sinner) that chooses not to act on that sin. Got it.
In other words open to all, but prefers certain things. What he chooses for himself, right?

I knew I saw girls differently to boys when I was a kid. Obviously there was nothing sexual about that but the attraction was there. A heterosexual man isn't going to pursue a relationship with a man because he's not going to be attracted to a bloke as he is a woman, it's not about 'morals'. There wasn't anything particularly moral about buying 'Playboy' & the like in my youth but I knew it was only the opposite sex that did anything for me.

Then you go ahead and "choose" that if you can. Not an option for me, at all.

Seems pretty obvious that if he was open to all then he isn't now and hasn't been for over fifty years. Preference is hardly a choice either. If you prefer chocolate to vanilla ice cream then you're not deciding that by way of.

Well, no you haven't. If I see a beautiful woman walking down the street then simply finding her beautiful and attractive isn't a 'sin'. If I started lusting after her then you might have a point except I didn't say any such thing.

Did you not have a "girls are gross" phase?
Young children tend to be averse to opposite sex friendships, and are more attracted (again, nonsexually) to their own gender. This probably arises from social factors and upbringing (parents, siblings, and peers encouraging certain friendships, discouraging others). Those who end up adopting a homosexual lifestyle tend to have had the opposite experience - they mostly sought friendships with the opposite sex.
Right, it's not only moral. It's cultural and social, too.
If you were raised by wolves you probably wouldn't have bought Playboy.
