OK, so you just thought you would share this pearl of wisdom-by people who themselves have questionable motives- for no particular reason and with no accompanying commentary? Can you understand why your motives might be suspect.? What are your views on this " choice " issue and where do you stand on LGBT rights? You should not expect anyone to believe that you do not have an opinion on the subject after you posted this "study" Obviously you had a reason to do so.
You know what? The way you are ragging on me right now is why I didn't continue to participate in my own thread.
As I said, I thought the study was interesting. I don't know if I believe it, or if I fully understand it. It is something intriguing to think about. Can we choose how we feel? Yes I think we can- sometimes. We can choose not to get impatient for instance- but that takes practice. Can we choose other feelings? Does that include choosing who we are sexually attracted to? Maybe. What about people who get married, have a family then ten years later leave their spouse for a same sex lover? Did they choose to change their mind about their feelings ?
On the other hand, if our sexual attraction is innate, why would same sex attraction even occur? That doesn't make sense from an instinctual/ species survival point of view. Still, that alone doesn't explain it away what with humans using sex for reasons other than procreation. But then, that sounds like choice.
This topic could have been an exercise in logic and an interesting discussion. But as so often happens here, people get prickly instead of insightful. That's gotten old, so I didn't bother to discuss my own post because right away someone got in my face and demanded I explain MY sexuality. Discussing ideas without making it about the OP personally evidently is a foreign concept to some people. So I baled. I'm sick of the petty criticisms- like what you are doing.
Regarding motives- I don't care what your motives are and don't give a damn if you think my motives are suspect.
