Possible explanations for homosexuality explained.

[Autodidact]

Lust and Love are different. In society we learn to control or "turn off" that lust section of the brain when regarding kin with love. Those who don't learn to turn that off often end up like McKenzie Phillips and her father:

If you didn't know that someone was your sibling or parent and you saw them as physically attractive. the "Lust" section of the brain becomes active.

And since Lust is not a prerequisite for Love, nor the other way around, It can be deduced that Lust and Love are completely identifiable as separate and controllable.

No, I don't think feeling lust for your parent or child is a natural sensation that most of us need to turn off. madhatter's life sounds challenging.

Uh, most people don't have anything to turn off or control in this regard. Is anyone else disturbed?

I find that disturbing. I had no more need to "learn to suppress" sexual attraction for my family members than I had a need to "learn to suppress" scatophiliac inclinations. But, human sexuality is an odd thing - if that's what madhatter's into, then I'm glad he's learned to suppress it.

Who knows, if I had to spend my life suppressing an urge to have sex with my sister or mom, I might end up projecting that guilt and shame onto homosexuals. You never know how these things might manifest.

Makes a bit more sense if you've been suppressing the urge to have sex with your brother or dad.

However, not everyone has the same opportunity to marry a person they are physically, emotionally and spiritually attracted to (except in several countries and states you seem unwilling to acknowledge exist).

So if you are physically, emotionally and spiritually attracted to your sibling, cousin, or parent, should you be allowed to marry them?

You only serve to demonstrate how easy it is for a bigot to reframe concepts in a way that justifies irrational hatred of and desire to oppress a minority. Before Loving vs. Virginia, everyone had the right to marry someone of the same race, yada yada yada. I'm sure you've heard that before, but it's failed to penetrate for some reason.

Again you try and play the race card, as i have proven Homosexuality has nothing to do with ethnicity. They have absolutely nothing in common.

Then how do you explain the situations i posted?

This is like comparing apples with oranges. Homosexuality is not even closely related to incest.

He said most people don´t need to restrain themselves. Most. If he meant all he would have said all.

Apparently you're unfamiliar with the term "most." Re-read for comprehension.

While you might find it hard to believe, such situations are EXTREMELY rare. Most of us are genetically predisposed not to lust after our immediate family members. But, in those incredibly abnormal situations where immediate family members want to be married, I don't think the state has any right to interfere with your desire to marry your sister or your mom just because I'm personally creeped out by it.

Again you try and play the race card, as i have proven Homosexuality has nothing to do with ethnicity. They have absolutely nothing in common.

Make up your mind - are you talking about marriage rights or sexuality? Loving vs. Virginia was about marriage rights, not sexuality. The same legal arguments that persuaded the Supreme Court that prohibiting equal rights based on ethnicity is unconstitutional will eventually persuade the court that prohibiting equal rights based on gender is unconstitutional.

Hot man on man action has nothing to do with it. Try to focus.

I don't know if it makes sense either way, but maybe it's somewhat unfair to judge the views of someone who is so emotionally/psychologically handicapped.

maybe he hasnt, which is why he has 3 or 4 or is it 5 threads going on this very subject....

the evils of not putting penises in vaginas....

you rehash and reuse the exact same tired arguments on every thread, and when challanged counter it with an argument that amounts to the exact opposite of what you just said

why dont you just admit you are scared of other naked men?

It would be simpler...

Or maybe you have a desire to sleep with other men...

I think its one or the other

for many bigots it IS.....:sarcastic

Ironically, most child rapists identify themselves as hetero not homo

I don't blame him. Naked men are scary. Scary and enticing. Mmmmmm... scary naked men....

 

[S-word]

The explaination as to why some men choose to be homosexual is quite simple, they looked at the women who were available and saw a better option.

Yes, they do. Both suffer a history of discrimination.

The irony of this is that this is much more applicable to why some women become lesbians.

Totally agree. No offense to Wampus, but I've often thought the most effective adaptation for the survival of our species would be if men fell into a non-responsive comatose state for 364 days out of every year. We (women) could stack them in a kind of vast man-pantry, haul them out on their "awake" day for breeding purposes, then roll them back into storage when we've impregnated ourselves. I live in hope the cryogenicists will one day discover a way to make my dream a reality.

Must be the macaque in me.

Agreed, and I'm sure if a study was conducted (If it has not already been done) we would find that lesbians greatly outnumber male homosexuals, as most of the good looking males have coupled up leaving only us dags to pass on our genes and continue to travel on to the ends of time.
