I'm biased, in that I think you choose to be homosexual, I don't think people are born wired to be homosexual.
It is a matter of fact that all behaviour including sexual behaviour is learned so in this respect you are probably right.
Really? All behavior is learned? "A matter of fact"? I think you are making stuff up there.
I would have thought most guys going through puberty would have had the same attraction to women I did when I was that age. It certainly wasn't learned. I don't think I taught my brain anything, and the other part of my body just did what it wanted to...
I very much doubt it is a choice. As a heterosexual, could you choose to bat for the other team? I doubt it. It seems to be a natural attraction that we are wired for, whether it is genetics or brain chemistry, so why do you think gay people would be any different.
If it is a 'choice' are you saying that you could change your preference? Again, I doubt it.
I subscribe to empiricist thinking. Sodomy has been prevalent in a few cultures over the ages. In ancient Greece it was culturally quite acceptable. An ancient Grecian would not have turned his nose up at the prospect because of his exposure to it, in other words because of what he had learned.
I think that most guys going through puberty have an inclination to stick their willy into anything that is likely to give them physical pleasure, be it a pumpkin, a goat, a swimming pool suction pump, an artificial vagina or a real one. That is instinctive. What they choose to stick it into, their preference, is going to depend firstly on what is on offer and secondly on what they have been exposed to.
Which goes to explain why sodomy raises it's ugly head in corners of cultures where it is decidedly unacceptable, corners like prisons, navy's and boarding schools.
Anyway that is my opinion. I do not pretend to be an expert but I certainly do not swallow the crap, pardon the pun, that the p00fter lobby pushes, and pardon that one too!
