I love people who can't see how this is fact. My parents (as much as I love them) are both evangelical Christians - my mum is totally accepting of anything, but that doesn't mean my upbringing reflected this, and some of the views they hold are as ridiculous as they come. I wasn't exposed to homosexuality in any meaningful way growing up, and if it was ever on TV it was normally greeted with a "thats icky and wrong" response. Yet, here I am.Shio said:I suppose you'll claim next that most people aren't tall and those exposed to tall people become tall as a result? Sorry, biology doesn't work that way and there is no evidence in the world that heterosexuality is the 'default' sexuality.
If someone's having sex on your couch that's a clear invite.Snotnarok said:If you're bothered by who someone has sex with in their privacy you're an asshole. However if they're having sex on your couch/bed/dinner table you probably have a right to be upset...regardless of their partner :U
Hmm, can't tell if trolling. If not, then my response would be be that some people who are bi lean more towards one sex than the other and might try to measure themselves on the Kinsey scale:x-machina said:I just don't understand Bi-sexuals, I mean how can you not have a peference?
actually, compared to some other places in the web, this is the best place.JacobShaftoe said:I had all sorts of comebacks to this statement including deep philosophical questions about the very nature of sexuality, but then I realised that, in the end, this is hardly the place for deep philosophical debates, as I'm slowly realising.Bara_no_Hime said:I'm a bisexual woman and proud of it. ^^
Everyone should be free to express their sexuality as they see fit. *

It's an expression of sexuality that's usually torture for the person getting raped.Bara_no_Hime said:I'm a bisexual woman and proud of it. ^^

First of all, I'd like to point out that reading this quote alone might lead someone reading it to think the poster is anti-gay. I'd like to point out that this is NOT THE CASE. If you want to see his entire post to prove it, click away. I just quoted this bit for a response to this bit in particular.Kaz Helberd said:Biologically the 'Default' orientation is 'straight' (hence the term "straight") but depending on how one was raised, who their parents are, and what they're exposed to, that can change.
Being gay isn't natural
My parents are also amazing people. I love them to death. Both are very much heterosexual and I've met maybe... half a dozen gay people in my life. Know how I turned out? Attracted to transgender girls. Pretty sure I wasn't hanging out at any gay bars or hospitals around transgender people seeking surgery. In fact, it wasn't until very recently I even realized I was the way I am, as I have never met a transgender person.Snork Maiden said:I love people who can't see how this is fact.

And yet many a homosexual and transgender person has been beaten and murdered.THEJORRRG said:Anti-homosexuality is a funny kind of prejudice. I don't get why I should care what someone else does that doesn't effect me in any way. So long as it doesn't hurt anyone, I say it's absolutely fine. Homosexuality, as far as I can tell, has never hurt anyone.
I've told about two people that had trouble accepting asexuality. One of my friends asked if I was diagnosed, and a group of my friends started giving me shit about it, and it got me really pissed off at them at the time. It got to the point where I was just yelling "Shut the fuck up!" because they kept saying that it was impossible for a human to be asexual, and that it only meant to reproduce asexually. In retrospect, they were trolling, and won. I've since stopped giving a shit about their opinions.Snork Maiden said:Everything's hot! I'd probably dink toward a preference for girls, but that's only because I'm a lot more picky when it comes to guys. If there's a hot guy around, though, ohhhh yeah I'd tap that shit right up.x-machina said:I just don't understand Bi-sexuals, I mean how can you not have a peference?
This made me smile so much. Now if anyone introduces themselves as asexual all I'll be able to think about is asking them if they want to be a priest.febel said:I dunno, I've gotten lots of "Your joking, right?", "That's not normal" And my personal favorite "Oh are you studying to be a priest?"AgentNein said:Asexual people have no deal. They're cool in my book.febel said:What's everyone's opinion on Asexuality? 'Cause I'm feeling a bit left out of the opening post.
No. Rape has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with power, control and domination.zehydra said:It's an expression of sexuality that's usually torture for the person getting raped.Bara_no_Hime said:I'm a bisexual woman and proud of it. ^^

right, I meant that it's up there. It's one of the better places that I've seen.Madara said:That does not really make sense. Compared to some places it may be better but that would still not make it the best. And if you are comparing it to places like youtube then you are kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel.zehydra said:actually, compared to some other places in the web, this is the best place.
To be the best it would have to be better than all places. And it is most certainly not.
