I agree with Milo’s point, but I would argue the prominence of homosexuality/sexual dysfunction (ahem) as a whole is also the result of lose sexual mores and our overly pornified culture— especially having their impact in the formative years of life.

At the moment, fraternity culture unfairly presents manhood in a false package which diminishes rather than uplifts men. I believe that deep down, men want meaningful male friendships/camaraderie, and deep down, men want to protect, care for,and fight on behalf women — not use and abuse. But right now, the worst impulses are catered to.

Deep down women (even feminist women) want chivalrous men to trust and encourage with their hearts. Both romantically and platonically.

Both sexes are guilty of selling themselves short. Both really do want to be good and uplift the other - but have been burned at some point.

The unfolding of all the sex scandals should be a wakeup call. Something is not right.

God can help...

Indeed, some rules are eternal. If parents hadn't become selfish cretins in the 1970s and turned divorce into a solution for the slightest of problems, I would submit to you that we wouldn't have the level of dysfunction we see nowadays.

For a parent to think that their selfish needs are greater than the needs of their child is outrageous. Instead, the parents would prefer to blame "the gays" or "the blacks" or corporations or the military/industrial complex or bash rock music or TV or the culture or a swarm of locusts.... and ignore the beam in our own eyes, e.g., dumping a loyal spouse for that 23-year old thang.
