He swears up and down he had no sexual attraction to men prior to taking T. At all. Ever. He is very comfortable with his newfound sexuality, though.
I had another one tell me that he noticed himself having a random sexual thought about a man and was very disturbed. He hasn't had any others, but has since speculated that many straight cis guys going through puberty have had a sexual thought or two about another dude, even if brief.
Comfort in a new skin also may make some feel more free to explore all possibilities, as noted above.
In my experience, testosterone has helped give me the well-defined sexuality of a heterosexual male. I always loved women... I just love them that much more when I have an added shot of male biology.
Testosterone has made me feel a new comfort in both asserting my boundaries and boldly stating what I want and enjoy. Looking and feeling more like my vision of self has been so beneficial to my sexual expression. I feel bonded to my body in ways I never did pre-T (frankly, I felt completely disconnected and now I see a hope of feeling otherwise) and I know it only gets more awesome from here.
