| Homosexuality Posted: 11/19/2006 4:07:43 AM | What is it that attracts a woman to a woman? Men to men... whatever...
I am moreso curious to know if it is physical or mental...?
Does a gay female still find some attraction in the male anatomy? | |
|
| Homosexuality Posted: 11/19/2006 4:21:12 AM | I am not gay and couldn't answer that question,as wonderful as the female body is,ewwwww I don't want to go there.
As for gay females finding attraction in the male anatomy,again I can't speak for all,but my mates daughter is a lesbian and her and her girlfriend gross out when we joke about how wonderful the male body is,they say they feel phyiscally sick by it.I guess the same reaction a straight person has thinking about the same sex anatomy | |

| Homosexuality Posted: 11/19/2006 5:06:38 AM | Maybe this thread should be posted in the "Ask a Gay" section.........??? 
Seriously, I believe it's the genetic makeup of an individual. I had a good friend in college, who's a Lesbian, and also an identical twin. Her twin is straight, and they are so close that there is sometimes conflict when my friend can't deal with what her twin's boyfriend "does to her". She finds it repulsive. It's really fascinating: The twins are like carbon copies of each other, in body and personality, except one is a Lesbian and the other is straight.

| Homosexuality Posted: 11/19/2006 5:49:32 AM | Gayness is genetic. It is also environmental. All depends on the circumstances surrounding them. Some women have just always been attracted to women, others are lesbians due to bad relationships that have turned them off on men. What attracts one lesbian to another woman? The same things that attract a straight man to a woman. Looks, personality. It's the same as a hetero attraction, but the one they are looking for is built like them. A larger amount of the attraction is placed on personality than physical, most lesbians are not as crass about that as men. And yes, lesbians can sometimes still find physical attraction in a man.....they are gay, not blind. | |

| Homosexuality Posted: 11/19/2006 10:38:37 AM | one could pose the same question only reversed...what attracts a male to a female, or a female to a male?
I think all has to do with the same thing, you cant help who you fall inlove with. | |

| Homosexuality Posted: 11/19/2006 1:16:12 PM | Seeing as my oldest sister's a lesbian, my second oldest sister's bisexual, and my little brother is at the very least bisexual... not to mention the fact that I have many gay friends, I feel pretty confident about saying it's not like they go "Mmm... he/she has the same anatomy I do! We should totally have sex!!". It's not something you can just put a label on. It's an individual thing.
I have a really close gay guy friend who's been "out" for like 20 years now. And he recently told me that he was once attracted to a woman. Matter of fact, here's what he told me (and I know he wouldn't have any problem with me sharing this with you, so save any bashing, please): "I thought, 'I'm actually attracted to this woman?!?'. It confused me for weeks. Even after having been out of the closet for several years at that point, it was bizarre to find I had the wild tendancy. Nothing happened. I excused myself from the office and left. After much soul searching, I realized that yes: I was attracted to her. But no, that didn't make me bi. I'm still really gay =). Sexuality is sometimes just hard to define, and not always black and white. It yearns to be classified, and then defies classification just to spite you. I may never have another attraction to any other woman on the planet, but if I do, that's ok... I'll not attempt to define myself by my sexuality. I doubt seriously such an attraction would be anything more than fleating anyway. Did I mention I'm really gay? =)". | |

| Homosexuality Posted: 7/26/2007 9:16:53 AM | People say things like you cant help who you fall in Love with and that is such a wide spread lie.
Most of what attracts people to each other has alot to do with ones conditioning and how another person fills that void or imbalance. If one unlearns the things they have learned from conditioning then you will come to a better understanding of what is and will realize that you can do more then you know.
Most people havent a clue what Love is, Many say Love isnt enough, the fact is Love is enough, the only thing that isnt enough is our understanding of Love. | |

| Homosexuality Posted: 7/26/2007 9:20:15 AM | | I've heard of women suddenly turning into lesbians after a bad experience with men. Like "my husband abused me and now I'm a lesbian." How do you explain that? | |
|
| Homosexuality Posted: 7/26/2007 10:31:24 AM | | Homosexuality is probably more choice than genetic predisposition. Some men (for what reason who knows?), prefer a penis over a vagina. It is hard to explain sexual perversion in any context. | |

Please don't confuse those ninnies with actual lesbians. But if you really want an explanation, it's because they're dumba$$es.
It's really hard to explain attraction, you know... I doubt anyone can do it adequately. You're into what you're into. Whatever runs your motor. Turns your crank, etc. | |

| Homosexuality Posted: 7/26/2007 10:45:34 AM | A lot of women PRETEND to be BI to please some fetish their man has. I see girls rubbing on one another and kissing one another at clubs to get the attention of males...like a live porn movie. Are they gay? NO...just want attention. And they definitely get it from men. I've been asked by a lot of men online if I have been with a woman. I tell them I am not gay nor will I pretend to be to make some man happy. He's either happy with me alone, or he can go away.
Honestly how many men would screw another guy to make their women happy?
oh and when i am asked if I've had a threesome, my typical answer is "no brad and johnny have such difficult schedules and we haven't managed to hook up just yet. | |

| Homosexuality Posted: 7/26/2007 10:49:23 AM | Given most gay people have expressed that they felt different from a very early age, I would think it is a genetic thing. Something in the biological make up. As a teacher I can even see kids I think to myself ''hmmm''......and the people from my own high school who came out years later...you look back and go....''oh yeah, that makes sense.''
Bisexuality on the other hand is a choice I believe, I think these people want the best of both, and many are really confused. I had a friend who told me he was bisexual, before coming completely out as gay. He was a big drag queen too. And I think part of his attraction to women was admiring their beauty and wishing it for himself. Not a sexual attraction. | |

"sexual perversion"? Don't get me started on you, you ignorant........
Have you ever heard of live and let live? I have many gay men and women friends, and their "choice" was decided in the womb. Most candidly admit that thier "choice" as you call it have caused them psychological trauma and confusion dating back to when they were teens. It's only been since the world has become less narrow-minded than you, that they have reached any comfort level.
Sorry for the rant folks... | |

| Homosexuality Posted: 9/20/2007 9:47:06 PM | | This is quite the gray topic and everyone's going to have a different opinion. In all honesty, I think it does have a biological root and that you a born attracted to the pheremones of the same sex rather than the opposite. That's just my theory. | |

There is no solid evidence for gayness being genetic. There is some evidence for it being hormonal, due to the hormones in utero.
For a male, having one or more older brothers dramatically raises the chances of being gay. The theory is that the mother develops a immune response to a male fetus and this somehow affects sexual preference.
I've had several good friends go through the process of coming out. It was a difficult painful process, and it's something that they would never have chosen. There maybe some bi's that can decide, but for a straight up gay, there's no choice as they simply are. | |

| Homosexuality Posted: 9/21/2007 4:09:04 AM | I think bisexuality is more of experimenting...or not wanting to admit what is truly going on....or a fad they're going through....
Someone who is truly homosexual...the majority say they felt ''different'' from a very early age. Usually they try to fight the feelings and go with the norm which further alienates them. Most say they would not choose the lifestyle, but it is not a choice, it is who they are.
I'm not gay, and won't pretend to be to let some man get his jollies off, but I wish that more research would be done so that the ''genetic'' or ''hormone'' theories could be proven so that there wouldn't be so much backlash and anger towards gay people. I find it interesting that those bashing gays for the ''immorality'' of it, aren't exactly living ''holy'' lives themselves. | |

| Homosexuality Posted: 9/21/2007 4:16:07 AM | Been watching Queer as Folk for the first time this past month off Netflix. WOW talk about eye opening. I can now see some beauty in male on male loving. Shoot who cares who loves who. There is enough hate in this world already. If a man wants to love another man who I am to say its wrong? Who are you to say its wrong? Why do people care so darn much what 2 grown adults do in their own bedrooms? I am straight, and I find women totally sexy. | |

| Homosexuality Posted: 9/22/2007 5:04:53 PM | These people who reckon homosexuality is a choice really are a laugh.
Next time someone comes out with this crap ask them. !) When THEY chose to be hetrosexual 2) What factors influenced them in choosing hetrosexuality 3) Have they ever had second thoughts about their "decision"

| Homosexuality Posted: 10/5/2007 12:11:16 PM | I dont think gayness is caused by any one thing (genetics, hormones, whatever)
If it were down to either genetics or in utero hormones how does one explain identical twins where one is gay and the other straight (maybe theyre both in denial about their bisexuality )
But at the end of the day does it really matter a flying fiddlers what causes people to be gay, straight or something in between | |
