Just to sort this out. If you are attracted to a certain man or woman, that is a behavior? Behavior is acting on a thought or feeling. Not having the thought or feeling. Homosexuality is undoubtedly not just a behavior.


Everyone has a sex drive. It's one of the three primary drives of the primitive brain. In humans the sex drive is governed by a person's sexual orientation which expresses itself via epigenetics as the human child develops.

quote:

I myself am curious as to whether homosexuality is something that you are born having, or if it is a product of your surroundings. Perhaps a combination of the two.


Humans are born with what's popularly called a predisposition to a sexual orientation. We need to be concerned with only three sexual orientations in this discussion: Heterosexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality. Yes, bisexuality is a sexual orientation.

In our intensely polarized country, that fact is overlooked too often. If there were only heterosexuals and homosexuals, the argument over whether gays are born that way would be moot.

However, because there are far more bisexuals than homosexuals, anti-gay people see others going "both ways" and conclude that being gay is a choice.

The main ppl who have a problem with gay marriage are the old people who still read newspapers, and worry about those scanadlous marriage announcements in their daily newspapers.

Hardly anybody else gaf.

Thinking someone is pretty is not the same thing as sexual attraction. You can think another man is handsome without wanting to give him a good dicking.



you just said that attraction = lustful thoughts and then 10 posts later contradicted it.

So, you're kinda making my point for me. In the case I was making, someone being attractive is analogous to someone being "pretty."

Just because I see a woman in the airport who is attractive, does not mean that I'm going to daydream about our imagined sexual encounter. Two very different things.

For every one person you hear who destroys their vow, there are literally thousands who don't.

Um, what? I said thinking someone is pretty is not the same thing as sexual attraction. What is confusing you?

You asked if attraction = lustful thoughts. It does.

Thinking someone is attractive isn't the same thing as attraction.
