Sexual attraction is genetic,not learned. Are you SERIOUSLY trying to tell us fathers make their children heterosexual or homosexual?
Yup. That's what I'm telling you. Fathers set the gender roles of their offspring. Daddies teach their girls how to become ladies, and boys how to become men.
You're a smart guy and logical if anything else. You don't see any cultural correlation with single mom households, absentee fatherhood and the rise of gender and sexual confusion in this country?
I do.
IF there is anything to blame or credit from this other than a chemical reaction at conception,it is your "kind and loving God" that is responsible for it. Man up and admit it.
Now now Pete, why ascribe blame to a Being you admit you do not believe in?
Like I said on another thread, when I was about 12, I was "in love" with my best pal. It wasn't sexual - but I've read a lot of homosexuals share a similar experience to describe themselves as always having been 'wired' homosexual. However, I had a Dad and extended family that steered me into the right and proper direction when it came to sex and attraction and responsibilities. I was not encouraged to go and find myself or figure it out for myself. I was taught what was right, what was wrong, both in terms of religion - and then later when I was an Atheist - via science and culture.
Sexual behavior is a choice. When you are urged to go and kill the moron who just cut you off in traffic - but you know that murder is wrong - you steer yourself away from acting on those urges. When you are married with kids and you are attracted to your neighbor's wife - you avoid putting yourself in a situation to act on it - because you know it is wrong - even if you are attracted to her.
You can either feed attractions and urges, or practice self control. Often, environments expose us to attractions and behaviors that are downright bizarre, dangerous and evil. Going down that path - you become what those attractions offer.
You should read up on sexual addictions. It's fascinating. Porn addiction in particular.
Most men attempting to overcome sexual addictions or homosexuality in counseling almost all state that lack of a father-figure at home, and their exposure to pornography and illicit lifestyles opened them up to more depraved attractions and behaviors in order to achieve orgasm. It's like drug addicts who constantly need to use heavier and more exotic drugs to get high. The brain works the same way with sex. The more exposure to bizarre sex, the more perverse and outrageous the behavior becomes - until it literally becomes who they are and literally screws with the middle of the brain, moreso than even heroin.
Either a behavior is right and good, or it is wrong with consequences that follow. Doing what feels good and satisfies the self - is the way human nature works. Morality is when we do not follow what satisfies the flesh, but satisfies either our faith, family or duty. Often all 3 at once.
