If that’s the criteria then to be fair we shouldn’t necessarily call anyone ‘straight’ just for feeling attracted to the opposite sex. So a horny 18 year old boy whose eyes bulge out as a girl walks by is neither ‘straight’ nor ‘gay’? Of course not. Being gay, just like being straight or bisexual, is about who you are attracted to and not who you have sex with, or whether you have sex at all. As for sexual preferences changing, that’s an interesting theory but of little practical value other to give parents of homosexuals hope and make parents of heterosexuals fearful. If it does happen it’s pretty rare; for the most part people remain attracted to the same gender their whole lives (which is not to say that they try to fool everyone, including themselves, when they are young).
