I believe one has no choice of sexual attraction. As much as one may WANT to change this, they can not! They may try to change friends, move to another city, or do drastic things (including brainwashing), but in rare cases does their attraction change for long periods of time. It may work for a short period, but eventually water finds it's own level.
It's like trying to change one's DNA. One may try a complete blood infusion, and even cut off their legs and replace them with prosthetic legs, but it won't change their DNA without a miracle taking place.

Um...did you just contradict yourself? You can't do it of yourself of course, but you can resist it, but it takes Jesus to actually deliver you (a miracle taking place)
And what about pedophiles, or people with murdering, serial killer tendencies? You saying that God can't turn them away from these strong desires and deliver them?
