It just is."<BR/><BR/>- Actually, it was announced not long ago that the natural order of life is both heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual. More than 1500 species choose to be bisexual or homosexual and many of them only mate with the opposite sex to reproduce. They live as hetero- or homosexuals the rest of the time.<BR/>You can also read some history and find that homosexuality was very common among humans before Christianity was formed with its rules against it and many other things that are NORMAL.<BR/><BR/>Therefore, homosexuality is a part of the natural order of life, just like heterosexuality. Yet YOU react to it.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous also said: "I have an aversion to therapy which questions what is normal."<BR/><BR/>- your beliefs in this "god" and its rules question what is normal, based on the fact that nature has been proven to be heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual. Therefor you should have an aversion to your own beliefs.<BR/><BR/>And since you insist on dragging your "god" into this...<BR/>"Judge not lest ye be judged" <BR/><BR/><BR/>/Swedish WiccanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-13170371383588267842008-12-09T20:45:00.000-05:002008-12-09T20:45:00.000-05:00I'm a heterosexual male and found the questionnair...I'm a heterosexual male and found the questionnaire interesting and one of the first replies problematic. So let's go with it.<BR/><BR/>1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?<BR/>2. When and where did you decide you were a heterosexual?<BR/>I can't say what caused it. Maybe the fact we had a bunch of nice looking and intelligent women in College helped a bit. But why didn't I find any attractive males around, I can't say. Is that hormones? Am I sick? When one thinks about it, an attraction that discards 50 % of the population right away (i.e. in my case, other males) is problematic.<BR/><BR/>3. Is it possible this is just a phase and you will out grow it?<BR/><BR/>Possible. But I think the only way I'll grow out of it is when I die.<BR/><BR/>4. Is it possible that your sexual orientation has stemmed from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?<BR/><BR/>Don't think so, though maybe having a few male bullies in high school could have been a good reason to stay away from males.<BR/><BR/>5. Do your parents know you are straight? Do your friends know- how did they react?<BR/><BR/>Parents know. As for friends, it depends. There was a long time when I was single and not dating either, and by sheer co-incidence, for 3-4 years, most of my friends were male homosexuals. A few of them tried to date me, and strangely enough, all of them disappeared within a couple of months when I found a girlfriend. I hope they weren't afraid of being contaminated by a hetero! (just kidding). <BR/><BR/>6. If you have never slept with a person of the same sex, is it just possible that all you need is a good gay lover?<BR/><BR/>I enjoy cuddling but I'm not fond of sex. In other words, for me, the relationship doesn't happen in bed. And to go with question 4, in the millions of males I have met, there is not a single one I would like to cuddle.<BR/><BR/>7. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality... can’t you just be who you are and keep it quiet?<BR/>I tend to be quiet about it. But it's not a secret either. Basically, if I know you as an acquaintance, I don't care whether about your partner(s) or lack of it. If we get close enough that I invite you and your family for dinner, it's nice to know whether it's a "he" or "she", whether you'll bring in a few kids, etc.<BR/><BR/>8. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?<BR/>Do they?<BR/><BR/>9. Why do heterosexuals try to recruit others into this lifestyle?<BR/>And why do all Conservatives try to recruit others? And why do all (insert your group here) try... Guess that's the sheep in us.<BR/><BR/>10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexual... Do you consider it safe to expose children to heterosexual teachers?<BR/><BR/>Disproportionate? I don't think so. I wonder if homosexual child molesters are more tempted by boys and heterosexual child molesters are more tempted by girls, but I don't know.<BR/><BR/>11. Just what do men and women do in bed together? How can they truly know how to please each other, being so anatomically different?<BR/>"Censored". As former PM Trudeau said, what happens in one's bedroom is private.<BR/><BR/>12. With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate is spiralling. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?<BR/>Some would suggest it DOESN'T receive enough support. Why the high rate? Either:<BR/>- it's easier to split and rematch because heteros have a larger pool of people to chose from;<BR/>- heteros get married and less homos do.<BR/>Now that homos have been married for the last 2-3 years (in Canada anyway), it will be interesting to look at divorce statistics.<BR/><BR/>13. How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality?<BR/><BR/>14. Considering the menace of overpopulation how could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual?<BR/>Growing more food!<BR/><BR/>15. Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective? Don't you feel that he or she might be inclined to influence you in the direction of his other leanings?<BR/>I don't believe in therapists, whatever their sex or persuasion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-77206122641766123192008-12-06T12:22:00.000-05:002008-12-06T12:22:00.000-05:00justifying heterosexuality with god eh?

It is obvious that he believes that the government has a duty to ensure that the institution of marriage be reserved exclusively for purposes of creating children. He is therefore inadvertently advocating for the government to: <BR/><BR/>- Forcibly separate all couples past child-bearing years; <BR/>- Forcibly dissolve all heterosexual marriages that do not produce children; <BR/>- Separate all heterosexuals who have had their tubes tied or have undergone a vasectomy; and,<BR/>- All women with hysterectomies should immediately have their right to marry stripped from them.<BR/><BR/>If his argument is that marriage can only exist for the sole purpose of reproduction, we must then take that argument to its logical conclusion. I would expect, however, that following his logic would not sit well with anonymous. His post is obviously about his belief that heterosexuals are the favored and superior race and that the others require suppression.<BR/><BR/>The Anon poster inadvertently adds to the power of this blog post. It must have taken no small amount of time, attention and energy to construct his response in a way that the churlish and hubris nature can somehow pass for a calling to god. Furthermore, he seems unable to understand that his response is the very essence of narcissism.idappaccayatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03906659150571707703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-75466936186656371802008-11-26T00:02:00.000-05:002008-11-26T00:02:00.000-05:00And just for fun: my own answers.1) I don't know i...And just for fun: my own answers.<BR/><BR/>1) I don't know if it's mostly nature, or largely nurture, actually. I was slow to develop any kind of "feelings," and the fact that it was expected that I'd develop them for boys may have influenced me to look at boys in that way but not girls. I've had so few romantic or sexual attractions, it seems like it could have gone either way. But that it went the way it did, being so weak...it probably is mostly nature.<BR/><BR/>2) When I was 14, and I recognized my second crush as a crush. I announced this crush to my family when I realized it, thereby "coming out" as straight. I later realized that I'd liked another boy a year earlier than that, but didn't know at the time that those were the kind of feelings that constituted "liking someone."<BR/><BR/>3) Yes, it's possible. I've had so few attractions, I could almost be asexual. And furthermore, I've occasionally been a little turned on by traditionally "sexy-looking" women. I'm not entirely sure what that means, bit it could mean that my orientation is somewhat fluid, or that I'm bi, even though I've only had "crushes" on boys. It could also just be a matter of being turned on by "sex" and anything symbolizing it.<BR/><BR/>4) Um...possibly...<BR/><BR/>5) They all know. They're used to it now, especially since I have a boyfriend. But I think some of them used to occasionally doubt it when I'd gone without love interests or significant others for a long time. They don't bat an eye about it though, and don't mind at all.<BR/><BR/>6) Maybe...but I'm kind of uncomfortable with sex in general, and have taken a long time to even get to the fooling-around stage.<BR/><BR/>7) I could...but (a) I think I kind of subconsciously like "bragging" (see above) and (b) if I used gender-neutral terms, people would probably wonder why I was doing that. See, that's the kicker. You're kind of expected to flaunt your sexuality if you're straight.<BR/><BR/>8) I think it's just a modern cultural trend. Or maybe not...people used to put emphasis on "not" having sex, and get themselves all hot and bothered about it. Hmm. Must be 'cause, like most people, straights have sex drives. And ours is especially problematic 'cause it can lead to unwanted children.<BR/><BR/>9) Because some of us, like that religious troll above, think that everyone should be like us.<BR/><BR/>10) Sometimes you just have to take risks in life. If only 2-10% of the population are GLBT, it's gonna be hard to hire gay teachers to protect children from straight pedophiles...<BR/><BR/>11) From what I've heard, they often *don't* know how to please each other. My SO and I do struggle with it, in fact, because we're not used to pleasing anyone but ourselves. Many just do what's expected of them, regardless of whether their partner is pleased. Others, well, they learn.<BR/><BR/>12) Seems to be a cultural trend, not related to heterosexuality in itself, but the changing ways our society conceives of relationships in general.<BR/><BR/>13) Hmm. Very good question. I guess nobody can do everything (or everyone)...<BR/><BR/>14) Easy. Just use contraceptives, and be careful about what you do in bed. Now if only we could get rid of the political barriers to making contraceptives available to all who want them...<BR/><BR/>15) Hmm. Just be cautious about the ones who call themselves religious...they are the most likely to try to recruit you. And if they try, fire them.<BR/><BR/>16) Um...you know, it would almost not be a bad idea, 'cause I wouldn't have to worry about unwanted pregnancy. I could still get STIs though, so if I did any genital-to-genital contact I'd have to make sure to get my pap smears. And it would still be slimy and have all the emotional hangups I have to worry about in a straight relationship. So, probably not worth it.<BR/><BR/>17) Haha. I don't NEED aversion therapy. I have enough aversion already. I would have been fine just taking care of my own business, and actually had to get out of my comfort zone to fool around with a partner of any stripe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-2593997553196855952008-11-25T22:53:00.000-05:002008-11-25T22:53:00.000-05:00I found this in the archives once.

We straights really do flaunt our sexuality. And I think the reason for that is because it allows us to kind of brag about our normalcy and our success.
