Also some homophobe has good reasoning skills and seems logical, just not factual and their conclusion is difference. On top of that the best scientists have their own bias, so it’s entirely possible that someone is smart, knowledgeable, can reasoning but has a totally different views on certain topics.

"The genetic material of the homosexual is not propagated and is effectively excluded from the big roulette of life. Growers - of anything from cereals to cattle - similarly use random culling to improve their stock. As mathematical models show, such repeated mass removal of DNA from the common brew seems to optimize the species and increase its resilience and efficiency." In my opinion this is the most compelling point in the article but I would really love to see a source about farmers using random culling and the mathematical models that are referenced. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

In childhood experimentation it's said to be 50% so let's say you experimented at a early age or actually had sex at a early age its far far far more likely it ws with a same sex friend than not.. say out camping one night a sleep over a day out in the park. Etc it's far more likely this happened with a same sex person . I had sex and experimented and ws very forward sexually as a 70s 80s kid and I'm aware of many cases were freinds had let's say Bummed one another it was far far more common and open I council,estates working class areas of England.. I infact didn't do this but was a ware that most of the gossip stoeys and evidence pointed to it I infact also had lots of early experimentation starting at around 6 yrs old but mine wer always girls. I also had many boys try it with me all the way upto 16yrs old at school and ws aware of there actions with other boys... its commonsesne that early encounters would be more likely same sex... mine were not first girl was very forward and we copied porno mags found in her parents bedroom in the garden shed and at sleep overs my second was a girl over the back fence back yard in her dad's chicken hutch. And so on.. to this day age 51 I remember all the boys who had BUMMED ONE ANOTHER back then and giggle to myself when seeing them or hearing about them on e of them has just died poor fella i flet sad for him and hos life as he became lonely sad and druggy but thought well no more bum fun for marry poor dude.. as a way to lighten the news to my self.. i had numerous boys thru childhood atemt the let's touch each others dicks together and bum. I remember then all 90% grew up to be straight cpl of them wee infact gays... one kid who tried the touch cockspur together and other such thongs with me I knew full well had done or tried to with about 6 other boys he loked like madiki from children of the corn and grew up to be very ugly.. mbut I know full well his dick is huge I'm talking a 12 inches thick as a beer can huge one night in a sleep over were a older girl promised him sex she thru him out the room likely after seeing it.. he ran info the other bedroom were me and my younger brother were sleeping he was 14 at tne time I had no idea a penis xould even be that big.

@@debbiemohiosen147 In ancient Greece, homosexuality was celebrated, influenced by gods like Zeus, who was bisexual. Artifacts like vases depicted explicit scenes, including homosexual acts. Women had limited rights, seen mainly as child-bearers. Pederasty was a practice where successful men mentored young men, both emotionally and sexually. Marriages were common between men and women, but relationships between men were often considered more equal. Women were unfortunately marginalized, lacking power in society. This reflects the societal norms of that era.

i was reading Maureen Canning book about sexualized anger and it helps me a lot to cure my unhealthy fantasy in sex. that book helps me understand that my fantasy was triggered by my pain, the image that triggers my arousal feeling was actually the manifestation of my childhood pain. maybe it sounds a bit personal, but i want to share it as educational purpose. i'm a woman and i used to liking woman with big b**bies, i used to think that i'm a lesbian, but then i realized i'm a straight, i love man, but woman with huge b**bies was a part of my first interaction with p*rn. i have big wound of being abused by my parents, and the facial expression of the actress in the video i had watched when i was teen was triggering a sensation of power and control. i've got satisfaction from seeing someone "in pain" because i was in pain too. when i successfully connect to that memory and build a new narrative or understanding about that moment the image of woman with big b**bies doesn't arouse me anymore. it just plain. no feeling. since then, i've got a different perspective about homosexuality. i was reading a journal about homosexuality in nature, there's some debate on experts, but that journal helped me understand that there's some natural factor in homosexuality. but since i've got "healed" i knew that there's also some psychological factor that can help people to really find themselves and maybe they can be reproductive again by choosing being straight. i'm not saying that being straight is better than homo, but rooting sexual desire to childhood pain is not healthy. i experienced it myself, that's why i talked about it now. i wish something can cut the core of pain of this society. we can talk about equality, about self-acceptance, about self-love, but all those beautiful labels will end-up being narcissistic things when deep inside we're lost. that's what i think. based on my personal experience only.. 😊 thank you for sharing this topic, professor. by listening to your explaination, i think the debate i read on that journal has ended now.. lol!😂

You can not choose to be straight. Some are attracted to men as well as women = bisexuality. Internalised homophobia/biphobia might be interesting topics for you. And there are also lesbian/bi couples with children, if being reproductive is important.

@annagramm8640 first of all, i'm not homophobic. i love seeing people who can accept themselves and find happiness in their own color. i was talking about it because i used to live in that confusing state where accepting myself is shameful. but then, i had that moment of rewriting my memory and that strong feeling truly gone. once the pain is "cured", the fun is gone. that's what i had experienced at least. second, being reproductive--in terms of having child--is not the main problem/goal. i had checked my writing and i said "maybe" because i know being reproductive is not that simple when we have sexual wound, but if they're able to be reproductive when being straight again from homo, it should be a good sign of being healed i guess. the main is being healed from the wound. some sexual wounds are too deep to be healed, it might cause problems in human to human interactions. i was sharing my story because i watched so many videos of pride community people being overly angry or overreacting to comments against them. being angry when we're under attack is normal, but when a simple gesture of others already trigger our sensitivity, i don't think it's healthy, and it only ruined the pride community itself. they even got labeled as woke people and even got mocked because of their "overly" reaction. this is what makes me sad, and push me to share my story. i personally believed that angry is a sign of deep wound. when our wound is being touched, we have tendency to overly react to something, even in small thing. and this is what makes me think that maybe some people are actually normal/straight, but they think they're homosexual because they're lost in their sexual wound (like me), not because of natural genetic thing. i don't mind about homosexual community. thanks for your reply. i'm not native English, so i hope my explanation is clear enough for you.

@annagramm8640 no, it's okay. my statement might easily be misunderstood that i'm a lesbi, but i find comfort in being straight, and that's only a past experience for me. i'm sorry if you find it annoying because it seems too personal or inappropriate to share. i share it for educational purposes only. yes, emotionally triggered when our pain's being touched might lead us to irrational behavior or throwing irrational arguments, and i saw it a lot in woke people videos. personally, i feel sad seeing them being framed in shameful situations. i don't understand western culture, but in my very own perspective, instead of judging or comparing their ability to rationalize situations, better if we can read their pattern of arguments or listen to their story, so then we can understand their pattern of thinking and what's hurting them. it might help them calm themselves by giving them the feeling of being accepted, maybe it can calm their defensive mode. what's the point of having better rational thinking when the best thing we can do is only pushing our idealism about normality in abnormal situations? i find it sad, but also funny.

Yes, I actually didn't believe that the spartans existed until after a few documentaries. There was an account of Xerxes himself witnessing 300 men who were naked and combing each others hair before battle. There was a sexual practice of women who had to earn the right to get pregnant or something where they had to do 10 or so jumps and hit their butt with their heels and then go off into the night with a man. Oh also they had to shave their head. One of the things was that they had sex to further bond each man to the next so that they would fight for each other. Most of what I said is from memory of these 3 documentaries that I found on youtube. One is a 2 parter with a female historian actually going around archeological sites. Regardless do your own research.
