I have heard that when some men are raped, they do have a physical response to it, even though they do not want it and are not attracted. Physical stimulation doesn't really say a thing about who you really are attracted to.
And then there are the guys I know who are literally terrified of women (for whatever reason), and the guys I know who are adamant that they do
not experience sexual attraction to females (and their practices reflect this).
It's still an interesting way to put it because I don't encounter the line "you're either gay or straight because gay people are bisexual" much at all, which also makes me interested in the motivation behind saying such. But this aside, usually people who say "you are either gay or straight" also confound the issue with that of gender identity, as the stereotypical image of a 'gay' person is also one who is gender non-conformist. Then when it comes to considering that one might bat for both teams, it's like "omg, whoa, you can't be both genders at once!"
At which point the above rationale fails, because evidence is such that gender and sexuality aren't tied and, as I've said liek a billion tiems, there's much more to sexuality than gendered orientation xD
asherlee is right the bible does only speak about men
This is interesting as well because in general, most controversy regarding sexuality (at least the '
araphilia' and 'deviant practices' sort) centers around men. It seems that the major issue regarding females and sexuality would be regarding certain parts of anatomy and the 'role of sexual response of the female' etc., which just goes to show the gendered slant of society in general.
But more importantly, the common view is that males simply express more 'deviant sexual interests' than females do. Strangely enough, the Oedipus complex is still the best that psychologists can come up with by means of explanation, though I think that there really needs to be some close examination of the definitions and the grounds on which they are made. It seems that the comparmentalisation of sexual behavior in itself is much more geared to analysing males (on average), whereas I guess Freud
was onto something when he said something to the effect of "over all domains, females are naturally bisexual anyway."
Rather, the notion of sexuality relates differently and this is just one more reason why I think we are seriously missing out a huge chunk of the playing field by trying to apply concrete separations in the world of what pushes your buttons. I just feel that when it comes to discussing sex, many people feel somewhat put out by being shoved into a "you're into this" box when there are much more involved factors at stake.
