Humans are bisexual creatures.

[Specop 007]

Why is that nonsense? I have no desire to participate in homosexual intercourse. I don't feel the need to immediately call someone gay for bringing up the subject though.

The issue is its not considered normal behavior to be gay. Bisexuality is not normal behavior. Is it present in the animal kingdom? Of course. Presence of a trait does not make the trait normal however.

Now its important to understand the difference between normal behavior and acceptable behavior. While it isnt normal to be bisexual that doesnt necessarily mean it shouldnt be acceptable.

The problem is far too often we take what would otherwise be a corner case condition and try to justify the that corner case simply because it has happened. By and large bisexuality is not a common behavior. You are trying to take a number of different examples performed by animals that cannot reason and use that as support of abnormal behavior.

I can show you a video of a monkey jerking off with a frog. I'm not about to use that to support the claim the jerking off with a frog is normal, and then go even one step beyond that to project that behavior onto rational, logical people and assume its normal for them to jerk off with a frog.

Turkeys will have sex with just a dead turkey head. They aren't picky. Since the female is so much smaller than the male when they get mounted all the male sees is her head so that is the focus of their sex drive. Scientists actually took a Turkey head and put it on a stick and the turkeys mounted it, did the whole display, everything.

I'm gonna call this thread a brilliant troll thread though. OP you get a gold star. Now back to reality....

I've always been of the opinion that everyone is bisexual but that some repress one attraction over another to a degree, due to society or environment, I'm yet to meet someone 100% straight or 100% gay.

You're like the gay guy who insists all of his straight male friends are gay or would enjoy being gay if they'd just try it.

Just because you're bi doesn't mean everyone else is bi.

Then you should get out more. I know a few gay guys who have just no interest whatsoever in women. I mean its scary. Their switch is just completely in the off position when it comes to women.

Humans are human creatures. They are all different. Stop trying to fit them all in the same box. Stick your penis in a box and present it to your bf.

1) I'm not insisting everyone would enjoy it (that being said who the hell doesn't enjoy sex)
2) What I'm saying is that everyone has some attraction to both sexes whether they deny it or not, it's a question of scale.

I know a few gay guys who say similar things, they still have a sexual preference for what makes a woman sexy....

I hate stupid shit like this. Dicks do nothing for me. Just seeing a decent female body tho...

 

[HAL9000]

Human sexuality is not simple it's extremely complex, it's not black / white, and very few people are not in the grey area.

 

[Schadenfreude]

The crux of your argument belies the same thought process as creationists; that your body parts are pre-designed with a single specific function in mind.

Yes, there are several studies that correlate homosexuality/bisexuality with a genetic factor (something I'm do believe in, but will stop lest the ghosts of eugenics haunt us) but saying that most people are bisexual due to physical design is about as accurate as saying most people prefer cake over pie or perish the thought, quiche even.

Which is a filthy, filthy lie. Get your head out of your ass.

 

[disappoint]

Hey look if you like the pole, then you like the pole, no need to drag other personal stuff into this conversation. My mis-behavior does not excuse your strange behavior.

I don't engage in any strange behavior. I just dislike racists more than bisexuals.

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by one of my favorite physicists Neil deGrasse Tyson:

Regarding the intelligent design of the human body:
“And what comedian configured the region between our legs—an entertainment complex built around a sewage system?”

...

If that scale includes 0 and 100% then you are right. If it doesn't then either you have met everyone, and know all about them or you're delusional, and wrong.

Did you not read the end of my post?

"Now I'm not saying saying everyone should have no problem (psychologically) engaging in same sex. Back before Judaism and Christianity, many cultures participated in bisexual behavior. Did everyone participate? No, there were probably straight men who wanted nothing to do with another man. There were also probably homosexual women who were probably disgusted by the sight of naked man."

All I'm saying is that I believe nature wanted to give us the option.

you've got another thing coming if you actually believe nature has an opinion at all

So you don't agree we evolved with these extra sexual organs for a reason? Isn't it the point of evolution to keep in tact desirable physical traits and lose non-beneficial ones? I know the prostate plays a lot bigger role than just pleasure. What I don't undertand is why it produces pleasure in the first place. I guess this whole argument can be nullified by looking at other parts of our bodies that aren't needed. Wisdom teeth and our appendix aren't really needed, but we still have them. Judging by how human sexuality was before major religions took ahold leads me to believe there is more to this part of our body...

 

[randomrogue]

I think you're reading too much into this. You are making wild assumptions. Just because our neck, ears, inner thighs, prostate, etc are erogenous doesn't mean we are bi-sexual by nature. Once again what does religion have to do with this? Can you show a link between more secular nations and higher rates of homosexuality and bisexuality? Are agnostics and atheists more likely to be gay?

So, as a straight male, because I can look at a guy and generally have an idea of whether or not he's "good looking" while having in absolutely no way a sexual attraction I'm not 100% straight? That doesn't even make sense. You're saying you can't appreciate physical characteristics of the other sex without being bisexual?

 

[bfdd]

yeah... i disagree. i think animals just like to fuck because fucking spreads genes and a byproduct of that is some people wanting to fuck the "wrong things"(in terms of procreation). Our human brains are so complex they do weird things to rationalize it into a human perspective which is what we see today as "gay" "straight" etc.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Doesn't what the op describes amount to the same thing anyway? If my attraction to the same sex is so vanishingly small as to have no effect on my sexual inclinations, then what difference is there between myself and a hypothetical me with absolutely no attraction to the same sex?

Are we really blaming Christianity and Judaism for global repression of bisexuality?

Even though I'm a staunch atheist, I'm sure without Christianity I'd be doing tons of dudes.
