In humans, most people are heterosexual, due to genetics and society working well together. It seems that some of the time, genetics comes in and turns some people homosexual. And, in some cases, homosexuality comes from a disruption in the 'Sexual Compass' earlier in life. This disruption forces the child to cope with this confusion, and sometimes homosexuality is the answer, while sometimes is hyper/hypo sexuality. This applies mostly to western cultures.

My brief studies of other world cultures shows that there are some groups where homosexuality is a way of life. Typically it is amongst married females, but I have heard of at least one tribe that practices male adult to male child relations. I don't remember what the explanation was, but it seemed to fit into their societies needs. There are usually other reasons for the homosexual behaviors, such as women needing bonding while men are off fighting.

Have you ever?

Im not ashamed to admit that i have and i know once and for all i prefer women.

I actually was attracted to one man, but I'm not sure if it was because of the guy, or because I envied his body and wanted it to attract chicks. He actually looked quite a bit like me, if that means anything.

I admit that when I was younger ( 7,8 years ) I used to play with a friend, but it was REALLY no big deal. I also know I prefer women now ( all the way .

Anyone else is tough enough to admit?

It just takes liking who you are and the realization that who you are is the sum of your life experiences.

Think about it. Say I want loads of sex. As a straight man I have all the straight women at my disposal, as a gay man I have all the gay men at my disposal. Now, if I'm bisexual I can have both at my disposal so I've got a better chance of getting sex on a regular basis. So it's best if I be bisexual and I propose that it's the best sexuality for everybody if you want the best chance of being in a relationship so I want to be bisexual.

But I can't, it is as physically impossible for me to be attracted to a man as it is for me to be attracted to a prepubescent girl. It's in both body and mind.

So a test on yourself. Imagine yourself with a gourgeous woman, you're both naked together, get a good image of her in your head so that you can see every aspect of her that turns you on and you'll be feeling pretty good in no time at all and when that happens, imagine yourself with a naked man.

Shudder.

I'm sorry but that's what happens when I try it. And before you start, I'm not homophobic, I just find the thought of sex with a man physically repulsive and I know that gay men often have the same feelings about straight sex. It's not even the fact that it's anal because I'd have no problem having anal sex with a woman.

However, when I was young, like 7 or 8, I would see young men on TV who looked a bit like me, similar facial sttucture and that and I'd like looking at them. It seems like other people here have had the same thing. It's nothing to do with homosexuality, it's purely a tribal instinct. We want to be with people who look like us that's why you find that your best friends look a bit like you.

Who cares if you're gay or straight or bisexual as long as you're confident with it and you know you're not lying to yourself?

BTW, the idea of a sliding scale of sexuality should be completely ignored and dumped because it's more likely to breed intolerance. If people believe that it's only our experiences that decree our sexuality then they'll try to stop 'gay propaganda' even more vehemently. We've tried to get rid of Section 28 here in the UK, it's an unjust law that fucks up kids who are gay and those who aren't because it makes it illegal for schools to teach kids about homosexuality. If kids aren't told about it then they grow up, find out about gays, think it's weird and don't like it. In the meantime, gay kids kill themselves because they've got no idea why they're so different from their friends.
cheers

It made me feel very sorry for women... damn. Men are gross. When I said this everyone said it had to be some sort of repressed homosexuality. That sucked... as it was I had spent all of high school being told I was secretly gay, and now my friends had convinced themselves that I was.

It was only much later when a woman vindicated me by saying something like "damn, the way you touch me has convinced me that what most men really want is another MAN, but you want a WOMAN... mmmm...."

I would probably be safe in saying that people who visit these forums are more likely than average to be the computer geek, outsider sort of person. I know that I am. And these people are more likely than most to wonder about this sort of thing - why they can't seem to get a girlfriend, why they don't get along with all the "popular" kids, etc. So all these forums about penis size, masturbation, homosexuality etc. are just a way for everyone here to decide whether or not they are "normal" in this respect. That doesn't mean that there's anything more unusual about the people here than the simple fact that they are more concerned than most people about whether or not they are normal.
