While you don't spontaneously turn homosexual, homosexuality is a gradient, not a binary yes/no state. If you're not even slightly homosexual, you're a walking fashion disaster, completely unattractive to the opposite sex because it is the appreciation of your own gender that allows you to know what looks good. In other words, if you are a male who attracts females, you are at least partially homosexual. The question then is how much is too much, so that you get an Alp instead of an Incubus? If Alps are rare, then it can't be one stray thought during the transformation. But at the same time, if Incubi become MORE attractive to females as they undergo the transition, it would necessarily also amplify any homosexual tendencies. My take is that males who go over a certain level of appreciation for their own gender from the start would always go Alp, but seemingly straight men might wind up as Alps when that amplification effect kicks in and it pushes them past that unknown point. The question I'm most curious about is what would happen if somene was a completely balanced 50/50 bisexual? Equally attracted to people regardless of gender. That's even rarer than someone who is 100% straight, and might well produce an additional variant beyond the existing Incubus and Alp options.
