Study: Childhood Sexual Abuse Often a Factor in Sexual Disorientation

Last week when I discussed the case of Frank Lombard, Associate director of Duke University’s Center for Health Policy, who molested his adopted 5-year-old son and offered his son to other homosexuals for molestation, I also touched on the higher molestation rates of children by homosexuals.

Judith Reisman, president of the Institute for Media Education, cites this research, as does a study by Dr. Gene Abel, director of the Behavioral Medicine Institute in Atlanta, which found that homosexuals sexually molest young boys with an incidence five times greater than the molestation rate of girls. Dr. Able’s study also found that 150 boys are molested by one male homosexual offender, compared to 19.8 girls by heterosexual offenders.

I also mentioned that homosexual men have been molested as children at much higher rates than heterosexual men (35% versus 4% in one study). One of many important aspects of this finding is that, while childhood abuse does not automatically mean the child will grow up to perpetuate the abuse, it has been long known that most molesters were in fact molested themselves as children. Obviously it is a terrible cycle that should be broken where ever possible.

The folks from NAM and AidsMap in London published an article last week which examined the connection between childhood sexual abuse and adulthood risky sex and AIDS transmission:

The study lasted for four years and included a total of 4244 men. These men were recruited to the study in six US cities. All had recently had anal sex with another man, and all the men were HIV-negative at baseline. The men were randomised to receive a behavioural HIV prevention intervention or standard HIV prevention counselling. Every six months they were tested for HIV and provided details about their recent sexual behaviour.

To ascertain if an individual had a history of childhood sexual abuse they were asked on entry to the study to say if they had had a sexual experience before the age of 13 with an individual five years or more older than themselves; and/or if they had a sexual experience between the ages of 13 and 17 with an individual who was ten or more years older.

Of the 4244 individuals in the study, 1686 (40%) reported childhood sexual abuse. There were 258 HIV infections during the course of the study, a rate of 2.1 per 100 person years.

Notice that all of the individuals in this study were practicing homosexual men. Of the 4,244 homosexual men in this study 40% of them reported childhood sexual abuse. And as this relates to AIDS transmission, we are reminded of the startling statistics from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) regarding AIDS transmission: 72% of AIDS cases are associated with male homosexual conduct.

While the incidence of risky behavior and AIDS transmission is interesting and seems indicative of the mental health issues associated with victims of molestation, it is ultimately the percentage of homosexual men who report childhood sexual abuse.

The causes of homosexual behavior are complicated and the subject of considerable debate. This debate is made all the more convoluted by the propaganda thrown about by homosexual activists and their apologists who would have us believe that an immoral and unnatural sexual behavior is completely normal and legitimate.

But before the world of clinical science became so confused with politically correct misinformation, indications were that homosexual behavior often resulted from childhood molestation, relational issues with a mother or father or both, and similar circumstances. We have historically seen that for homosexual men, childhood sexual trauma is a very common factor , and for homosexual women, childhood sexual trauma is almost universal, though sometimes later sexual trauma can be a factor.

Essentially, the evidence is strong that homosexuality is not a “sexual orientation” as homosexual activists want us to believe, but rather a “sexual disorientation.”

What does it mean to be disoriented? The dictionary defines it as “to cause to lose bearings : displace from normal position or relationship b: to cause to lose the sense of time, place, or identity.”

When we are driving or flying or walking in the woods and we become disoriented, we enter a state in which we are unsure about where we are, where we should be going, and how to get there.

Since we need only look at our body’s sex organs to tell quite obviously that we were created to function heterosexually (not to mention that only 2.9% of the population is homosexual), it becomes quite clear that any orientation other than heterosexual is a disorientation.

It seems more than fair to say that, due to childhood sexual trauma, relational problems with one or more parent, or some other issue, the person has become disoriented about their sexuality.

As anyone who has become disoriented knows, one can become re-oriented with some effort and frequently some help from others.

There are those who, for whatever reason, come to enjoy disorientation. When someone drinks to excess or takes strong drugs, these have a disorienting effect, often leaving a person unsteady on their feet, not in firm command of their surroundings and how they should be acting. Often people come to like this state of disorientation, seeking to maintain that state by frequent indulgence in intoxicating substances. They, too, often need help in realizing the dangers of remaining in this disoriented state.

The similarities between a physically disoriented person and a sexually disoriented person (i.e. one not correctly oriented to their obviously heterosexual purpose) are quite striking when you think about it.

When homosexuals sometimes say they were created that way, that their “sexual orientation” is homosexual, they are incorrect. One who insists their proper orientation is homosexual is akin to the drunk who says with slurred speech, “I’m not drrunk.” Their orientation is obviously heterosexual (their bodies tell us that), but they have become disoriented as to their true nature and purpose.

So don’t be fooled by this deception. Help them by insisting on the truth and pointing those who are disoriented toward that truth. It is to their ultimate benefit, and to those around them.

I’ve always thought the “butch” type (excuse me I’m not sure of the proper terminology) of woman seems to be rejecting ANYTHING remotely feminine. Maybe this is because they fear or associate feminine characteristics with a painful or traumatic experience. But then again...I usually see the butch type with a more feminine looking woman. (?)

“Naturally Nelly”

That's a good question. One possible explanation: the boy was born with a high estrogen level, making him seem effeminate compared to his siblings. This apparent effeminacy caused him to be attractive to a certain type of gay pedophile, who then inflicted the sexual trauma that led to the boy becoming attracted to men; at that point, people around him said that it was “inevitable” or that they always knew he was gay, but it wasn't his fate, it was inflicted upon him.

No, the “childhood sexual abuse” did not consist of incidents in which anyone was “busted” or “convicted”. These were self-reported incidents that fell into the parameters designed by the researchers, and that the subjects did not necessarily consider abuse. The subjects were 4244 adult men who had recently had anal sex with another man (not child). They were interviewed about their sexual experiences through age 17, and anything they described that fit the researchers’ definition of “childhood sexual abuse” was recorded as such. There’s nothing in this article to suggest that even a single one of these 4244 men was found (either by interview or by court proceeding) to have ever been the perpetrator of an illegal sexual act with anyone (presumably some had, given the sample size, but there’s no evidence the researchers gathered any evidence regarding that type of activity by the study subjects). The study tried to show a correlation between being a “victim” of “childhood sexual abuse” and later risky sexual behavior among adult homosexual men.

“The reason why 30% or so of child molestation is ‘homosexual’ is because 50% of children (the object of pedophiles) are male.”

What gibberish...

First of all the 30% number is most ;likely politically corrected and dumbed down to only reflect orientation of perpetrator rather that actual sexual activity -regardless, even given acceptaing the 30% number...

The object of homosexual perverts are same sex children -capiche? You attempt to confuse the issue into one of orientation rather than sexual activity. Plain and simple -homosexual sex is homosexual sex -that is the ONLY thing that differentiates heterosexual from homosexual -PERIOD...

Now if one considers the FACT that homosexuals are a small percentage of the population (less that 10% easily) then one one considers that <10% of the population commits 30% of the abuse one can easily see that something wierd is going on with the homosexuals and it would be prudent to keep children away...

The more you KNOW the better to cure your delusions and prevent random nonsensical postings like the one I address...

I’m glad you agree but here is what is going to happen whether we like it or not if we don’t take a stronger position and get smarter on this issue. Our children if they go to public school and through tv will be indoctrinated not just in tollerance but in the outright acceptance of homosexuality as a behavior that is at parity with hetrosexuality. It won’t matter that this is so clearly and simply ridiculous and eventually parents who try to opt out will be threatened with losing their children or going to jail and even be required to attend re-education themselves. It is clearly where this issue is headed. Already in California there is a requirement that schools teach kids as young a as 6 about Homosexuality (two mommies, two daddies stuff).

The gay rights movement has never been about civil rights, no gay person has been made to sit in the back of the bus or drink from a different water foundation. All of the issues that homosexuals face are because of their choices.
What we face is a modern mythology being forced on society by the same media and socialist political machine that has attempted to convince us to go along with great remedies for “global warming”. Just as those great remedies are unecessary to address the climate the same can be said of gay rights. There never has been a great oppression of homosexuals and surely nothing requiring the great parades of obscenity, invasion of the classrooms, and the draconian thought police laws crafted to intimidate all who dare disagree into submission. The reason they push for such laws is they could never achieved their goals any other way.
It is insane and we must stop them.
