Imho, I think there are two different types of behaivor at play here.
I think you are right, WEB, in that anyone
can
participate in any type of sexual behavior. But to me, there is a big difference in choosing a behavior in a hostile enviroment than in choosing a behavior in a free enviroment.
Again, it goes back to the feelings behind the behavior.
I would imagine there are plenty of prisoners who particpate in homosexual behavior in prison who never did before and never do again.
As to whether it is natural or learned, I suspect it would depend on how they lived their life outside of prison.
