Homosexuality - sexual desire or behavior directed toward a person or persons of one's own sex.
Sexual desire -a desire for sexual intimacy
Ok well bud, now a gender is a male or female. Who here is sexually attracted to males or females? Take note: Boobies and the other parts are not particularly belonging to males or females. Hopefully you know what I mean >_>
If a "Male" looked like a total female, it would be the same for a heterosexual. Its all about looks. and what your brain "chooses" to get its desires from.
What about animals? Are their minds (if they have one) consciously deciding what they are going to like or how they are going to react to their sexual impulses? Sexuality a nature driven thing that let's a species survive, and that is not very movable so we are not in control of our sexual "feelings." You may think that when you see a person and you find yourself attracted to them iit's not just a conscious thing, but there are things happening on many levels, you may be sizing them up consciously, but your subconscious mind is also looking and seeing if the person is a good mate to reproduce with.
Also a basic principle of psychology is that everything psychological starts as physical. So your brain knows more than you are giving it credit for.
Well yes but you would not get sexual feelings if not conscious.
From my study thus far, I think this is oversimplifying, and is further symptomatic of human habit of ascribing all perception to consciousness. At best, the argumentation of one's perception is conscious.
IMPORTANT: Consciousness is just a small part of our functioning.
While I'm at it, consciousness is hardly exclusive to humans.
If a "Male" looked like a total female, it would be the same for a heterosexual. Its all about looks. and what your brain "chooses" to get its desires from.
This is why I mentioned fantasy- and in a way does convey a good point (but once again not the whole picture). One could go so far to say that people have taught themselves the habit (by culture) of relying on certain senses which can act at odds with other subconscious influences (e.g. sense of smell, which we largely ignore but is of instrumental importance to mate selection).
And as I've mentioned before, this brings up those stories about a guy making it with a totally hot chick only to discover the she is a him, or a sh'im, or a hir...
@cycloolephin, this is a serious debate, and you can't base your opinion on something like religion. I'm Christian myself, but I don't refer to religion at all.
Once again, this topic is brought back by someone who hates homosexuality. Read the previous 185 pages next time.
Wait I have a question about christianity. If God is the creator of everything didn't he "create" homosexuality?
Didn't he also create murderers and rapists? Whether it is based on environment or not, he created them. God is not as perfect as some people put him up to be.
