jelli said:How many of us know some little kid (say boy) who is under the age of 10 that is a little more femine than the other boys? How do you explain that?

For those of us men who are attracted to women, and women who are attracted to men, do you know WHY your orientation is such? All we know is that we like the other, and that's simply how we've always felt. I don't think those who are attracted to the same gender are any different.
I guess I've never let the issue consume me so much to the point, that I've given it that much thought.
Well TP, I believe most of us are ignorant, on this topic, unless you're actually gay. I am NOT gay, so I am ignorant...but, we all have our own beliefs and opinions about the subject. Who made you such an expert, on the topic? Are you gay? Not being facetious, just asking...since you seem to think you're right and most of us are wrong.Tigerpride said:That is not true. If that's the case, you were not straight until you first got some poon tang. :nod2:
Actually, I am quite shocked by the responses by my educated sisters and brothers. Don't ya'll watch Oprah??? LOL
I don't think you can group a lifestyle choice like drinking, smoking, drugs, etc... with being gay. If it is a lifestyle choice then why can people stop compulsive gambling, drinking, smoking, etc but not being gay. Can you stop being straight? I almost want to call some of you ignorant.

Tigerpride said:I would think that one was born with it before choosing it. None of us have the same likes and dislikes sexually. However, the suggestion that one can flip a coin and not only have sex with but actually ENJOY sex with the same sex is ludicris to me. Also, there is probably not one right answer. It could be anything from a chemical imbalance to a mental illness...neither of which can be credited to choice.
DonTiger said:My 2 cents...
The way we talk to each other, what is or isn't socially acceptable behavior. The way we dress. Our dating traditions. ALL OF THESE components of 'the mating dance' are all LEARNED behaviors influenced by societal practice and traditions.
NONE OF THIS WAS DONE BEFORE AGE 5. Those things are learned but what about those who have no interest in learning them becasue they are (for whatever reason) not interested in the opposite sex. Those things you mention come way down the line.
Now,
The reason that I can unequivicably state that man being attracted to women and vice versa is a Genetic design is because the whole entire world and all the creatures in it exist because of the laws of procreation. Without procreation, adam and eve are the end of the human saga.
This has nothing to do with procreation. How is genetics linked to attraction? A gay man and a gay woman can procreate without being attracted to each other. Genetics is not the right term but I am assuming you are not a scientist. Genetics have only to do with DNA. Your suggestion is that a person can pass down sexuality when women can't even pass down big breasts!! Now had you mentioned testostone levels, brain signals, etc...it would be more of an argument to me because those things are not determined by genetics and can vary from person to person. The whole God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve is just a cliche and adds no insight in this matter as a stand alone statement.

Tigerpride said:Also, in my ignorance, I guess I need to know what choice means to you all? How did they decide this? Did a girl dump them so they decided against women? They could not get any puzzy, so they just went for azz?? Did they get high one night and just decided to "do" or get "done by" the first thing they saw?? Did one of their boys fall on them during a game and they liked it?? Did they get raped and liked it??? Where does choice come into play??
