"66 percent of gay men report having sex with more than one partner in the first year of a "committed" relationship. Within 5 years, over 90 percent of all men have had sex with other men. SOURCE: GAY COUPLES by Joesph Harry, published 1984 p.116 Praeger Books."

These guys aren't promiscuous because they are homosexual, they are promiscuous because they are men. Men have a very strong sex drive, for the most part.

But I'm curious what the promiscuity rate is among gay women. Did your sourse say what it was? I would guess that it is much lower.

I think it's comman knowledge a given woman can be as promiscuous as a given man. I have seen elsewhere how women can be seen as a "check" against the "natural" promiscuity of a man. That makes no sense at all.

Promiscuity, like hunger, is the default position of the human appetite, male and female. To assuage hunger, we eat. Some of us become gluttons (that's a sin). To assuage the sex drive (men) or intamacy drive (women), some of us become sexual gluttons, promiscuous (that's also a sin).

The point of understanding a sin is that it's simply an arrow sign pointing the other WAY. Most people who sin suffer, which is why so few homosexuals are ever quoted as saying, to heterosexuals, "join us...its a happier place on this side of the fence"; ditto about the obese, for few say, to the fit, "eat more...it's great being fat".

That may sound like I'm trying to inflame. No. I'm trying to say look at the big picture of our society, and look at the changes over the last, oh, 120 years, not just since the 60's. Most of the current flood of rot (sexual mayhem, monetary debt in the extreme, no savings, crassness & rudeness sold as "cool", obsesity, drugs, etc.) can be traced back to the purpose of sin's consequences: to get our attention - b/c we have collectively drifted.

So, Violette, the interest you have regarding whether or not a female is inherently more "faithful" is healthy. It's merely a question now of whether or not you will investigate the origin of the human hard-wired need to be faithful at all.

BTW, most lesbian data I have ever read does show lower "cheat rates" overall; but only on the sexual side. It says nothing about emotional affair cheat rates - none that I have found at any rate.

For what it is worth, most of the lesbians I have known fall into two camps; miserable, eating and drugging a lot, or ardent, utterly militant, supporters of gay "rights" and the secular humanist (Marxist) agenda.

Because its a "faith system" that aligns with their morals, it's no wonder so many fall for it, given the proof that adopting any faith system will give you greater health. In other words, lesbians are often Marxists not because they really want to be, but because the have to be, in order to have half-way decent health.

It's the only reason I can think of, at any rate, why anything written by a right-wing, Christian conservative lesbian is .... absent(?) from our freerepublic dialogue.

That isn't true. Homosexual men molest boys at a much higher rate per capita than heterosexual men molest girls. I.e., gay men who molest, do so far more frequently than het men who molest.

It's true that men have strong sex drives and tend to be indiscriminate in their selection of sex objects. That would explain the frequency of inappropriate contact between pederatsts and straight boys. When John Maynard Keynes and the other gay profs at Oxbridge were tossing off their students at evening soirees, nobody stopped to ask anyone his orientation before skinning his chicken dinner.
