Everything said and done, homosexuality is unnatural. It is as unnatural as any un natural act like canabolism etc can be. However, as alot of people indulge in those acts so do homosexuals indulge in homosexuality.

Re: # 24
I beg to differ; if your logic is correct then ``gays`` would vanish from the face of the earth. For two reasons, firstly, there are enough structures in society of reward and punishment that we should be able to train and condition homosexuals into becoming heterosexual. Secondly, we don`t raise our children to be homosexuals, so why is it that despite the opposite nurturing, some still turn gay?
The fact that some do not choose to propagate could be to the advantage of the whole species.
In other words the reason why we see approximately 10% of homosexual behavior cross-culturally and over time proves that there is inherent advantage to the species as a whole in homosexual behavior. Perhaps it is a form of population control. ``genes promoting behavior that prevents propagation of the species would not have any descendants to whom they are passed. `` Genes are passed on because homosexuals do procreate. We do not know exactly how much of a genetic component is required to offset the nurture part. I can see that if someone was born a homosexual and they were put in an environment that such an idea could not be fulfilled in principle, then the genetic component would die out.

Hmmm. Where is this man coming from ? Enough here to keep a shrink busy for a lifetime. I suspect that the ``futile`` surfing on the internet really masks a deep desire that dare not speak its name! I won`t even bother going into the massacre of the English Language.

Mr. Aqalmund, read the xcerpt again (not my statement). Nowhere does it say that anus is more innervated than any other part. It just says that what anus is. If u have doubts, go and poke it....i am sure u can figure it out, if there r no unncessary psychological complications.

In one breath u affirm that u r not speaking for all heterosexuals, and in another u imply: ``generally speaking male heterosexuals find the prospect of anal sex administered to them fairly forbidding``. Make up ur mind, then say something.

As far as i am concerned, I am just asking all of us to challenge our biases because the biology and psychology r quite clear on that.....nothing is un-natural, repugnant, and bestial---everyhting is just in mind. The same irrational fears that we happily employ in homophobia r also operational in racisim, xenophobia, etc.

``The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn`t mean that God doesn`t love heterosexuals. It`s just that they need more supervision.``

Straights

I have to confess that I still find heterosexuals just that bit weird. Its not like I`m prejudiced about them or anything. Some of my best friends are heterosexual and I`ve been to straight bars and their clubs and seen what they do.

Actually, I`m a bit different from some of you who had gay or lesbian parents because mine were straight and so I was brought up in that sort of environment. I guess I learned to be tolerant about it even though it may have led to me having problems in adjustment in my adolescence. So you see, I do understand straightness and I`ve had a lot of experience of it, its just that I still find it all a bit unnatural.

I mean I just don`t understand feeling desire for the opposite gender. Hasn`t anyone ever emphasised that word `opposite` to them? How can you have a personal relationship with someone who has a whole different biology from you? You haven`t a hope of understanding them with all those differing hormonal cycles, times of sexual maturity, and social conditioning. And your partner will have a fundamentally different body from you and that means you will not know how to work it in any sexual act. Can you imagine all the fumblings they have to go through to get even a rudimentary proficiency?

And there is something right about going off with someone of the same gender. There is something complete about it. Its like matching sets. I have always been quite fascinated by the appearance of identical twins in gay male porn and I feel it points to some essential lesson here. You are going off with someone who is the same as you. Admittedly you are only approaching that goal of identity where you have exactly the same body and the innate psychic understanding of identical twins, but at least you are getting there. You will be having a relationship where you can fuse almost completely, if not quite. Heterosexuals can never even hope to achieve this fusion of identity with those oddly dissimilar bodies and minds that never seem to mesh together.

And breeding. I do understand that they breed and so they were once necessary for the continuity of the race. I like to think, though, we`ve advanced beyond all that brutish stuff. I consider these breeding behaviours just like I think of my appendix, you know, vestigal. I mean nowdays breeding, if it needs to be done, can be performed cleanly and effectively with a teaspoon of semen from one gay man being delivered to a lesbian woman in a 10ml syringe.

With the world population in the state that its in, and all those billions expected to double over the next century, there are good arguments for banning heterosexuals from breeding. Gay and lesbian kids in the year 2100 will be looking around their over-crowded world, eating all those processed soya and yeast products, mourning the loss of the world`s natural resources as the temperature soars and the acid rain comes tumbling down, and they`ll be thinking `Heterosexuals did this`. There are good arguments for stepping in now and stopping it while we still can.

And then a lot of them persist in bringing up their children to believe that heterosexuality is normal. I know mine did. This meant I might have had a few problems coming to terms with who I really was. There are actually those who are so influenced by this prevailing mindset that they never, ever come to realise who they really are and persist in the heterosexual life like it was a bad habit.

They are also so militant about it, forcing it down everyone`s throats and lobbying government for legislation in support of their lifestyles. To be honest I get sick of turning on the television and having to watch them kissing and having sex. Its no wonder gay and lesbian kids get confused with this barrage of heterosexual propaganda.

And the natural consequence of all this maladjustment is war. The history of heterosexual warfare since the dawn of time is fairly dismal. You can see how it happens too. Not only have they been prevented from reaching out to the fulfillment of their true gay or lesbian identities and so they are blocked and frustrated, but it is all that stuff about opposite genders that creates this environment of difference. Wars are fought between opposites. They are a straight reflection of exactly what is going on in your average heterosexual relationship. It is interesting, I always think, to observe that gay and lesbian bars and clubs are singularly nonviolent compared to their heterosexual counterparts. In my opinion our essential peacefulness is based on the fact that our relationships are relationships of similarity, not combative opposition like theirs. It sort of makes you want to get the United Nations to subsidise a intense media campaign saying things like `Turn Gay Or Lesbian And Achieve Peace For All Humankind`.

Now I am fairly liberal, I like to think, but a limit is a limit and sometimes I think that I`ve reached it. I am as tolerant as the next gay or lesbian and I can see that some people may have a need for heterosexual behavior. I`m happy for them to do it. I just resent the fact that they are destroying the world politically and ecologically while they do it. I resent the fact that they are creating an atmosphere of violence which is even intruding into our clubs and bars, when it used to be outside. I also get annoyed that their prevailing atmosphere of propaganda is creating maladjustment in our gay and lesbian kids. Its just not right.

I`d like to think that psychiatry can get onto the job. Then I`d also like to think that gender-segregated schools with lots of pro-gay and lesbian lessons might help. Banning heterosexual propaganda in the media might help and there should be a rigorous quota of good healthy gay and lesbian role models. I do feel there should be population laws so that we do not all have to suffer the consequences of their unnatural behaviors. But heterosexuals are a problem, aren`t they and I obviously haven`t got all the answers. I just think its time we said `enough is enough` and clamped down. Someone`s got to start the ball rolling.

tdbit #101 thanks for the link. I searched chaathouse and miserably failed to find anything related to nice guys fininshing last. Perhaps if you would do me one more favor and let me know the title of the article....I must learn how to draw this yo-yo`s and guys-with-tongues-sticking-out on chowk.
So far this is all I can do :-)

Re: Freesoul,

I do not claim to speak for all avowed heterosexuals. That would mean speaking for 5.9 billion humans. It speaks volumes about your cognitive abilities if you got that impression!

Are you denying that generally speaking male heterosexuals find the prospect of anal sex administered to them fairly forbidding?? If you do you obviously have been living under a rock.

As far as I am concerned this discussion has gone on long enough and you can now crawl back under your rock where all heterosexual males sing kumbayah while poking each other’s pumpkins.
