I received this mail from a FReeper :

They know they are homosexual, but try very hard to “fit in” with the culture, either for acceptance or religious reasons.

I have three friends who have married gay men, and have talked with them extensively about this. One put it rather bluntly to me, that young men have so many hormones flowing, they can “get off” easily, regardless of where they’re putting their “equipment”, so there was no problem with sexual function early on, even if he preferred guys.

Research shows that homosexual men have higher female hormones, but also higher male homones (including exposure in the womb*). I think that makes them highly sexualized, so it’s easier for a homosexual man to have “bisexual” attraction than a straight man.

*this is why homosexuality can be “from birth” but not entirely “genetic”. In utero homone exposure can change the sex of an embryo, so it’s no surprise that it could make “lesser” changes to sexuality.

If the above is true, then how can we argue that they are not BORN THAT WAY?

Any port in a storm?

At no point in my life, no matter how horny, I have never considered a homosexual act as an alternative.

And women with a high sex drive can be sluts, too; and we have been subjected to a social engineering program since the 60s to protect their civil rights as well; but face it, few people would really recommend that a slut is "just as good at raising children" as the gay lobby claims about "married" gays. At least we still recognize the damage to young minds from knowing mom is a slut.

We can argue anything we want; but behavior is a choice. I personally come from a long line of Irish alcoholics. That's why, realizing at first hand in my youth the heartbreak and devastation drunken behaviors caused, I chose not to drink. I have the genes; I cope with addictive behavior issues constantly like being online when I shouldn't be; but I'm in seven decades now of not drinking. I will be in recovery all my life, and even after not drinking all my life, I go to AA or ACOA meetings from time to time, and consider myself "in recovery" for a lifetime. But I don't get drunk and get behind the wheel, pick up other drunks in bars, let others rob me because I'm drunk, total the car while drunk, set the house on fire, abuse my children or any of the harm-to-others crap that proceeds from alcohol-abuse behaviors.

Surely it's the same for those born highly sexed. They need to come to terms with it and find ways to live in harmony with normality, not in open rebellion or invitations to self-detruction.

We can't help how we are born. But we can set goals for how we want to live, take up our cross, and put one foot in front of the other for the salvation of our lives.

Because it isn’t true.

Interesting stuff... makes sense... Thanks for sharing.
