Study Shows Increase in Homosexual Experimentation
Agape Press ^ | 1/11/06 | American Family Association

(AgapePress) - According to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more women are experimenting with homosexual activity.

The report was based on data collected in 2002 in the National Survey of Family Growth. It found 11 percent of women said they had had a sexual experience with another woman. That is compared to 4 percent of women who said the same thing in a 1992 survey.

Younger women, however, were even more likely to experiment with homosexuality. According to an article in the Washington Post, 14 percent of women in their late teens and 20s claimed to have had a same-sex experience.

Some experts said more and more young people simply see such experimentation as a rite of passage. "It's very safe in the [college and university] academic community; no one thinks anything of it," Elayne Rapping, a professor of American studies at the University of Buffalo, told the Post.

In fact, said the article, lesbian experimentation, even among heterosexual women, has become so chic on campuses that some jokingly refer to being "lesbian until graduation," or "LUG," said Craig Kinsley, a neuroscientist at the University of Richmond. Kinsley studies the biology of sexual orientation and gender.

Men appear less willing to experiment with homosexuality, but the percentage has still increased. The CDC report said 6 percent of men in their teens and 20s said they had had a same-sex experience in their lifetime. In 1992, 4.9 percent said they had done so.

However, when it came to self-identifying as homosexual, the percentages of the U.S. population that appear to be homosexual was as small as in other surveys -- only 2-3 percent, according to the CDC study.

It's not safe in the sense that it psychologically screws these women up for life.

Goes along with the obesity epidemic. Women are finding fewer male takers, and so resort to their own.

We're all just homos screaming to be released from the confines of our heterosexuality.

That is why you don't send your daughters or sons to liberal universities. Lesbianism is a key front in the battle to normalize homosexuality. It takes advantage of the increasing lack of morals of young men and men in general.

Bill Clinton receiving oral sex from an intern made oral sex OK almost overnight.

If Hildebeast gets into office, these figures on lesbian experimentation will jump just as fast.

Anything that Howard Stern and Hildebeast can both agree on will be a juggernaut that will be impossible to stop.

Let me borrow the words of Mark Steyn: "I enjoy a lesbian legover just as much as the next heterosexual guy."

Well, since they're describing it as an "experiment", you'd be volunteering in the name of "science". Of course, a wife would still probably find some silly reason to complain anyway. Go figure, huh?

But, but haven't we been told they were born that way?!? Oh, now it's just an experiment? More likely it's another "Whaaaa I want attention" group.

Or it could be you're jealous and can't get a woman.
