Over the years I think I have come to understand that homosexuality is the male sex drive being directed to other males, rather than to females as God, biology, and logic would dictate. Not for me, but it seems apparent that for some tiny fraction of the male population, that's the way they are wired.
Lesbianism is something altogether different, and it is a puzzling thing indeed.
I recently watched a YouTube video (showed up on my feed for some reason) of a woman describing her realization that she was a lesbian. On a couple occasions she states that, "I was dating men and falling in love with women."
This does not compute, at least to me. "Falling in love" for men includes a large portion of sexual attraction in addition to emotional attachment. Sexual attraction, like it or not, is an inherent desire to copulate and make babies with the object of the attraction. Even for homosexuals, much of the attraction is the desire to "copulate" (oral and/or anal) with the object of attraction.
But for lesbians, what does it mean to "fall in love"? Surely there is emotional attraction, but what else? Is there a desire to - I don't even know what - that is part of the package of "falling in love"? Or do they add that because society expects it?
Stories of married women, usually with adult or nearly-adult children suddenly coming out as lesbians - suddenly "realizing' that they are lesbians.
What the ****? Anyone out there have any insights?
