| Is Being Gay Genetically Determind Or A So-Called Lifestyle Choice
Posted: 10/3/2006 9:17:45 PM | I refuse to believe all gay people are the same. I know all heteros are not the same.
I don't think we can just classify any "others" like that. It's just illogical.
I've known women who have had orgasms from giving oral sex to males. I've known women who've had orgasms from breast stimulation. I've known people who've had orgasms from having their feet massaged or their testes squeezed...
Some of sexuality has only to do with genitalia. Much of it also has to do with the way a person is touched by ANYONE as well as the emotional feelings toward the other individual.
This "either this or this" idea is so ignorant... it astounds me how people can still believe this. | |

couldn't it be either? Is it possible that a person can be born gay, just as a person feels they can be born the wrong sex?
Or is it just a lifestyle choice and a preference for the same sex? After all you cant help who you are attratched to. | |

I think its both... as you either are born gay or you probably had some difficult experinces with the opposite sex and feel it would be better to date someone of the same sex......Although on the other hand, i have heard stories that people dont actually go out with the person because of the same sex but because of who they are and how the person makes them feel...
I think i probably need to go out more.. | |

Posted: 10/26/2006 5:28:24 AM | I think everyone has gay tendencies wether they would admit it or not...everyone has thought about it at some point.
I think its a bit of both, some people choose it later in life due to problems with the opposite sex & some people are just born that way.

Posted: 10/26/2006 12:00:05 PM | I think modern society defines itself by sexuality. Because a person has sex with one person, one time, does it make them homosexual? Heterosexual?...
For a perspective, if a person masturbates does it make them an "autosexual"?
Sheesh!!!
Let's get a grip here. We're brainwashed and don't even know it.
Aren't we people before that, with lots of other qualities and features that might have more to do with our actual identity? | |

Posted: 10/26/2006 12:14:58 PM | There was something on the tv about this some time ago.
Apparently there is a gland (let's call it a gland) in the brain that releases the chemicals that determine our sexuality.
this gland in a womans brain is twice the size of that in a mans.
Evidence suggests(on this programme) that gay men have an abnormally enlarged gland, so are destined chemically to become gay as they grow. I suppose it's just vice versa for women. | |

Posted: 10/26/2006 3:08:26 PM | | I believe it can be a lifestyle choice. But I believe their are gay people in this world who have battled for years to convince themselves that they are straight. But they just can't control their feelings on which sex they are attracted to. And if you can't control it. It is not a choice. | |

Posted: 10/26/2006 3:27:29 PM | I was chatting to a lady recently who had tried out a relationship with another lady because she wasn't ready for a relationship with a man. She admited that it was OK but not what she was looking for. Since I am a bloke this was good news.
I couldn't see myself doing the same thing. Call me homophobic if you like, I just don't fancy blokes.
So, I supose I am saying it depends on circumstances, where you are in your life and all sorts of things. | |

No aquaplane.......it is most definitely not a lifestyle choice, you might choose to experiment with your sexuality but you really cannot help the fact that you are born gay, although, I have heard that hormones in beef, the beef eaten by the expectant mother, can have a significant effect upon how gay you are when you come out of the womb and also determines the size of your breasts if you are a woman.
Playing non-stop heavy metal music to rats turns them homosexual too...its a funny old world !!
Reading back thru this thread has brought back loads of fond memories to me - was great craic on these forums in those days !! | |

Posted: 1/30/2007 10:08:45 PM | | I agree that it is a lifestyle choice. But a choice none the less. There is nothing wrong with people making the choice to be gay. I think that people have some traumatic or important event that spurs them to make this choice. This can happen as early as childhood. | |

Posted: 1/31/2007 12:13:15 AM | I think for some it's a lifestyle choice... and for others there are other psychological factors which mean it is not a choice. I don't think it's genetic... but people can be predisposed to homosexuality through their upbringing or experiences in early life.
I also think it doesn't matter and that having social classifications like "gay" "bi" etc etc is pointless and harmful for those that fall outside of these social groupings and those inside these social groupings which don't fit the stereotypes. There're many different kinds of "gay". | |

Posted: 1/31/2007 1:08:44 AM | This thread just proves that there is not enough proof!
Lots of "think" and "genetic" popping up but no-one has come up with any definitive proof. Doesn't really matter to me how they are gay. People always like to make everything black and white but in reality most things in life are a very murky shade of grey | |

Posted: 1/31/2007 1:18:37 AM | does it really matter which it is? Its just who they are end of, i dont suppose they really think "ooohh think im gay today" in this bigotted world would anyone want to be anything other than societies norm,
Which seems to involve being, rude children, horrid teenagers, up your own a$$ adults and miserable pensioner, but as long as they are not gay the hey thats fine.
im sure if there are any gay people on this thread (and i havent read them all) they would say "does it really matter why im gay? i just am same as you" | |
