Peer pressure? to FIT IN? please.
Would you pretend to be gay and renounce women if it meant you'd fit in, in a gay world? I wouldn't, I'd continue to indulge, conformity be damned! I'd rather be a black sheep that get's laid [by the attracted-to sex] than the white sheep. Who'd fake it? Would you sleep with another guy to be more popular in school/work/society? I wouldn't, and couldn't for that matter, short of holding a gun to my head, and even then I don't know!
I don't understand it.
You're right.
I fail to understand that also. However, it really makes me wonder as to whether there really is 'homosexuallity' or whether it is as we may assume it is.
Which is why I sort of see them as 'straigt people gone mad'
After all, there is no proven hormonal abnormality. And studies on twins suggest that it IS nurture rather than nature.
:-)
Right, I'm gonna kind of go out on a limb here. This raises eyebrows whenever I bring this up, my little theory....Here goes...
Sex is everywhere. No, I don't mean sex used blatantly to sell things or whatever. I mean it plays a part in every part of our social life, aside from the search for a mate.
IIRC, boys often are closer to their mother, whilst girls are often closer to their fathers, the parent of the opposite sex.
[Note I said often, not all
]. Please correct me if I'm wrong, as this is pretty much a conjecture.
From working in different environments, you see what effect sex has. For example, working in an almost exclusively female environment was, well, quite good. At times the situation caused nigh-on sexual harassment.
[I suppose blokes generally don't mind having their backsides pinched by random women, or constant sexual innuendo...]. Whilst the relationship the women have with each other is something to observe. You soon see that you have the better end of the deal.
I also find older ladies are drawn to me. The last place I worked [before I started in the building trade a few weeks ago], for example: The lady I was working for asked how old I was, then said, "You're about the same age as my son", and started asking me what I'd done before and what school I'd been to, and then she told me about her son - needless to say, we got off to a great start! :lol:
Anyway, I'm digressing, this is where I stick my neck out:
Now I'm not trying to get completely Freudian on you here...
Sex kinda governs your relationship with people of the same sex I reckon. No, I don't mean behaving differently when those people of the same sex are in competition to get the attention of the opposite sex. I mean in normal day-to-day dealings. You probably don't even notice it. But you will find yourself liking someone more than another, for no reason you can perceive. Have you ever taken a dislike to someone because of the way they look physically? If so, why? Because of something genetic, I believe. And being keener on one person over another on the basis of their appearance, IMHO, is closely linked to 'sex'. That doesn't mean you want to sleep with them, necessarily though.
So after much babbling, what I'm trying to say is, that we've all got a bit of homosexuality in us. Put that in your pipe and smoke it iama! :lol:
edit:
Another interesting point, again conjecture though! Brazil has a lot of gay and bisexual people - which begs the question: If we had more lax social views of sexuality, and it wasn't though of as "wrong" - would more of us be gay or bisexual?
BTW Iama, who is that picture of in your avatar? Poor girl has made herself look hideous.
