Debate Now Can You Choose To Be Gay?

[Mr Natural]

It’s all very simple:

If you’re a guy and you look at another guy and get a boner, chances are you’re gay.

There’s no choosing involved.

Funny because it's true.

I decided to be heterosexual when I saw Julie newmar playing Catwoman on batman at the age of ten. i mean I was ten not julie.

Not gonna lie, though.If it had been lee meredith in that episode and if cesar romero had been younger, my life might have gone a different way . . .

Homosexuality would be effective as a contraceptive. More homosexuality could reduce parenting by people unqualified to be parents.

Can You Choose To Be Gay?​

It was the only way to get a promotion at work.

Bringing this up because it came up in another topic. I have only one rule. Absolutely NO bashing anybody of the LGBT community (this doesn't include the sin of homosexuality itself) as this isn't what this discussion is about. Me personally, I think sexual preferences are a choice since I chose not to be a creep and attracted to children or animals, but feel free to discuss. (Oh and for the record obviously you choose to be Transgender.)

You state that you will not tolerate any bashing of anyone in the LGBT community and then in the very next sentence you call people creeps, after having lumped all types of sexual behaviors under your OP of "being gay".

There is a difference between who humans are attracted to at a physical level and what activities one chooses to engage in as a result of those attractions. If you're heterosexual, is that a choice you made or is it simply that you're attracted to the opposite sex and have never given it a second thought? If so, why would you think it's any different for those who are homosexual?

If you have twins and one is gay and the other isn’t then that can help rule out environment conditioning. But I guess a case can always be made that no two people share the same experience within their environment. In the end I would say it doesn’t matter in the least. But if we are talking scientifically about it then I’d start by studying twins and the many cases of closet gay people who grew up hiding their sexuality because their environment was not accepting of it. People have gone so far as to get married and have kids knowing that they were really gay. How sad is that?

Same for incels masturbating to lesbo porn instead of dating.

It helps explain the drop in the US birth rate; too much online porn. Sad.

Why lesbo porn?

Is it gay to watch porn with guys in it?

Over 90% of guys, including Bisexuals, like women.

Yes if it's only guys.

Well, yes obviously if it's only guys going at it or one guy, that would be gay. But why do straight guys like porn with guys? It's not like the guys are peripheral and the focus is on the women. It's like, "Ah strate as hell! But I wanna see that money shot!"

IDK. Maybe they have homosexual desires?

Why do you think they do?

That's the most obvious explanation. Maybe there is another one.

There's always that possibility, but since you don't know of one and I don't know of one, it will remain a mystery.

As most college papers end "This area of study needs more research". LOL

FWIW, I know a lot of misogynists online and a few IRL, but don't know any incels IRL.

The reply was Jul 7, 2022, which indicates a username before the present one. A year before that she was "The Doctor's Wife". While her actual posts will reflect the new username, anyone who quoted her will retain the old name.

It's a good way to look up old usernames.

Which he has none of.

Of course you're talking about a man who was repeatedly elected to the Senate and then became a Vice President and then a President. Do you have a similarly impressive resume, I mean beyond being someone's wife?

Agreed on the purpose of mammalian sex. However, the question is whether people have a choice to be heterosexual or homosexual. I say we don't even though heterosexuality, for evolutionary reasons such as propagation of the species, is the norm. Same goes for "choosing" to be left -handed or color-blind.

Understanding sexual orientation and homosexuality

Sexual orientation refers to an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions to men, women, or both sexes.

www.apa.org

​

What causes a person to have a particular sexual orientation?​

There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay, or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles; most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation.

Homosexuality is caused by a genetic predisposition and an experience during development to activate the gene. Its not a choice. This was shown by twin studies. The likeliness of twins both being gay increases as the genetics are closer to the same and declines as they differ.
Women are different as they are normally more bi sexual.

 

[Hafar1014]

Why am I even arguing with you in the first place when you clearly don't know anything about the Bible?





So, you don't have a link then for these interesting scientific findings?

Sexuality in humans is vdesigned to keep a long term bond to raise a child to independence. Animals are independent in 8 weeks and dont hae sexuality. They copulate based on hormones alone.

Human sexuality is based on the need to create a long term bond to parent a child. Love and the hormone oxytocin is involved.
In all fairness gays can have children and many do. They can also adopt and create successful families

Agreed...

A recent study in the journal Science claimed to “reveal insights into the genetic architecture of same-sex sexual behavior.” Following the study’s release, an above-the-fold, front-page headline in The New York Times declared, “Many genes influence same-sex sexuality, not a single ‘gay gene.’ ”
This is not entirely news. A 1991 study examined the likelihood of both twins being gay. The chance of two identical twins being gay was 52%; the frequency of fraternal twins being gay was only 22%. If homosexuality resulted from genetic transmission, one might expect 100% gay identical twins. Yet, 52% for identical twins compared with 22% for fraternal twins suggests genetics play some role, although not entirely, in the development of sexual orientation.
This new study notwithstanding, today, the relative contributions of nature and nurture remain unknown.

Heterosexuality as Default​

Although theorizing origins of both same-sex relations and other-sex relations are found in Plato’s Symposium, the terms “homosexuality” and “heterosexuality” were first coined in 1869—in fact, by a journalist—a time when scientific speculation about same-sex feelings, behaviors, and attractions flourished. Then and now, heterosexuality’s origins were taken for granted, requiring no need for further study.
Sigmund Freud was an exception. Despite his own theorizing about “inversion’s” etiology, a 1914 footnote to Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality noted that “from the point of view of psycho-analysis, the exclusive sexual interest felt by men for women is also a problem that needs elucidating and is not a self-evident fact based upon an attraction that is ultimately of a chemical nature.”
Freud’s caveat notwithstanding, researchers often, and implicitly, treat heterosexuality—needed to propagate the species—as a default position requiring no explanation. Consequently, headlines trumpeting genetic “causes” of heterosexuality are unlikely as no one is looking for them.

Patients Ask “Why Am I Gay?”​

In clinical practice, gay patients sometimes ask therapists “why” they are gay.
What motivates the question? When one has a stigmatized identity—and gay identities are still stigmatized today—perhaps a therapist can provide an etiological narrative that makes sense to the patient. However, depending on the therapist’s training, beliefs, and biases, patients might conceptualize their homosexuality as good (“normal,” “born gay”), bad (“mental disorder,” “unforgivable sin”), or childish and immature (“infantile sexuality,” “developmental arrest”).
Occasionally, although less commonly than in the past, gay patients encounter therapists who introduce the issue of why the patient is gay. Of course, it would be highly unusual for a therapist to raise similar questions with straight patients. Heterosexual patients rarely ask therapists why they are straight, and one would be hard pressed to find many heterosexual patients willing to spend time and money on such a “treatment.”
