Years ago, when I was trying to work out what, exactly, I was and how I fitted in to the sexual world my father told me a story which he said came from Greek mythology. I've never been able to locate the story and so I suspect he may have made it up but it's so beautiful that I thought I'd post it here :

There was a point, in history, where the people displeased the Gods. To punish them the Gods decided to split each person into two. Before being split in half, some people were fully male, some were fully female, others were a mixture of both. After being split in half the people all tried to locate their 'other halves' - the ones who'd originally been fully male tried to locate their missing male half, the ones who'd originally been fully female tried to locate their missing female half and the ones who'd been both male and female tried to locate their missing halves amongst the male AND female population, some people chose not to locate their missing halves because they felt liberated in being separate. Thus it is, he said, that some people are straight, some are gay, others are bi-sexual and some of us prefer to remain alone.

It's a story of course, but I think it's a nice explanation anyway!
