After having not caught more than headlines on the case, today I read a news story on Kenneth Prince's parole hearing.
And, Prince, appears to have been born heterosexual. He told the judge that after his last daughter was born, his wife didn't want to have sex anymore. "And I had some needs," he said. The Scout leader turned to exploiting boys and young men, including taking explicit pictures of them.
Perhaps there should be a number of questions raised. Did he remain attracted to females? It seems surely he must have, but was he receiving all the gratification necessary so that he no longer actively pursued women? Was he still seeking women to fulfill his lusts as much as he was seeking boys and young men? Why did he turn to young males? Was it due to availability? Or, had he always had some attraction to young males, even from birth?
I believe this must be considered as some form of a change in sexual orientation. It appears, if nothing else, he shifted his emphasis from females to males. It is said that the orientation does not change after birth. I think it can. I think this shows it can. The shift that Prince had constitutes at least some kind of a change in orientation.
