Discovering my sexuality

Joseph Farah

It seems everyone is discovering their sexuality these days.

You have homosexuals, bisexuals, lesbians, transsexuals, transgendereds, metrosexuals and more. I can't even keep up with the growing list of proclivities.

The notion of legalized same-sex marriages has prompted an increase in group unions. And, of course, there are even organized efforts to tear down the archaic laws against pedophilia.

In an age of seemingly no standards, I've discovered my own sexuality – albeit a bit late in life.

Count me among the retrosexuals.

What is a retrosexual?

For starters, I believe in paying for dinner. I believe in opening the door for my wife – or other ladies. I believe in giving up my seat on a bus or train for a woman. I believe in smoking cigars – even if it means sneaking them and puffing outside because wives and daughters frown upon the smell.

Retrosexual men never use more hair and skin products than a woman. My shaving needs consist of a disposable safety razor, the cheaper the better, a shaving brush and a bar of soap. The bar of soap comes in particularly handy because it can double as shampoo if my wife happens to be using something pink or expensive.

Retrosexuals don't have any confusion about who they are or what they are. They know that God made men and women different – they accept that as fact and appreciate the difference.

Retrosexuals don't think God makes mistakes. So, if women want to pretend they're men or men want to pretend they're women, they are not really fooling anyone but themselves.

You know what? I suspect there are a lot more retrosexuals out there than anyone knows.

The reason you don't read about retrosexuals in your daily newspaper or see them holding parades on television is because they are not news.

There's an old saying in the news business that "dog bites man" is not a story, but "man bites dog" is news.

Retrosexuals are not news because they are the majority. They are normal. They are what people expect.

But there is a sexual revolution under way in this country that seeks to marginalize the retrosexual. There is a sexual revolution under way in this country that seeks to overturn the old order of traditional morality, decency and chivalry. There is a sexual revolution under way in this country that seeks to ring in an era of anything-goes anarchy.

There are two ways to fight this revolution. We can fight defensively only – pointing out the ugly side of sexual anarchy. Or we can also fight offensively – championing the old order and making it appealing to a new generation.

Marriage was, is and always will be for members of the opposite sex. Some courts may say otherwise. Some legislatures may say otherwise. None of that will change anything because courts and legislatures didn't invent marriage – God did.

It's time to be counted. Maybe you didn't know you were a retrosexual until now. Maybe you didn't know you, too, were part of an alternative lifestyle. Maybe you didn't know you were part of a movement standing up for good, old-fashioned marriage between retrosexual men and women – and retrosexual men and women only.

That's because for too long this majority has been silent – listening to the cacophony of discontent and sexual-activist mayhem sweeping major cities, the courts and some legislatures.

Now you know who you are. It's time to stand up for your kids and their future. It's time to take back the institution of marriage. It's time for men to love their wives and for women to love their husbands. It's time girls started dreaming about marriage again. It's time for boys to respect girls again.

It's time for retrosexual revolution.

Here's a proper curtsy from an appreciative woman to all the male retrosexuals on FR. Thanks, fellas!

I think Farah is having fun mocking those who want to "redefine" sexuality. I guess he is tired as are most of us of every weird fetish and compulsion being celebrated while anything healthy is condemned. This aspect of the culture war is more than just a freak show, too. Boys are being taught to either be more flamboyant than Richard Simmons or to be a "real man" and become a violent gangster. Is it any wonder that many children are confused and act out in increasingly violent ways? The concept of a gentleman is under attack while boys are discouraged from ever growing up -- they are supposed to be either effiminate or bullies.

I am a retro woman,,,I think sex ought not to be talked about at all. And thanks for the tip on shampoo, my resident retro man {I call him my current husband just to keep him on edge}, is always, but always, dipping into my expensive specially bought shampoo. I shall buy pink shampoo from now on.

I (along with most of the men here) am Retrosexual and proud of it.

I guess that if you add words to an existing article, you can call it your own.

All Farah did was re-write what had already been posted on FR.

I am unisex.... in my dreams...and they usually wake me up. Damn hormones they gotta release somewhere. Oh well a few more years and the ovalating will cease and I will be more concerned with waxing the hair off my face.

I just bought one too. I used to not shave my legs for years and then started and loved it but the whole shower hassle thing plus I live on well water so daily long showers not doable.

Then this gal told me since her kids are grown and her and hubby and her live on the road she uses a chargable electric.

I promptly went out and bought one and I LOVE IT I can shave anywhere anytime it is perfect for my lifestyle and love not having to hide my legs anymore!

Now King Vanity is another story he is soooo into grooming. It takes me two hours to shower, shave, clip nails, uses two types of soap, two types of shampoo, minicure, body shave now and then, ears, eybrows, biore strips, but has some great spendy colonge then here I am buying a whole counter of female earthy body spray because it is marked down from 5 bucks to 49cents. But it is clean smelling not flowerery, more like a fresh shower smell.

Maybe you didn't know you, too, were part of an alternative lifestyle.

While the article is cute, this statement is the kiss of death.

What Farrah describes is not an "alternative lifestyle." It is something much more misunderstood than that.

It's reality.

We can not start acting like a majority special interest. That would deny who we are. We are truth, and truth is not a special interest.

Shalom.

Instead of falling into the Left's trap of "politically correct" thought and speech, I say it's high time we take back the English language!

Hear, hear!

By the way, didja hear the latest?

He's not dead - he's encephographically challenged.

Shalom.

Shoot, I climb out of the shower, grab the two bladed razor with the lubricated strip, and start shaving. Of course, I don't have much of a beard, so not really a big deal. My only real concession to modern grooming is hair gel, but only because otherwise I would wind up looking like Einstein just after he stuck his finger in a light socket.
