aleatório pergunta #1: Is being Gay emotionally based or Physically based? How

Though I am a firm believer in Christ Jesus, I ask that the really religious if you say that "God says" please also provide mais "concrete" evidence since this is mais fact base then not. I don't like hearing a profession of God's word without some solid evidence.

Be prepared for my responses to respostas as well as my questions

What do you mean por "emotionally" based or "physically based"? Are you asking if homosexuality is an emotional attachment, or if it's a physical attraction?

I think that's what you're asking, and if not I'll editar my answer later.

I think it's both. Heterosexuals become attracted to people they are emotionally attached to. Ever become attracted to a friend? Ever saw someone you thought was attractive and acknowledged it? It's the same thing for homosexuals. They're attracted to people the same way heterosexuals are. It's the same chemicals, working the same way. The only difference is, homosexuals are attracted to the same gender. That is literally the only difference. It is no mais a choice, or something that can be controlled that heterosexuality.

On whiteflame's answer, you mentioned that if it's physical, then because it happens in nature, it can be emotional and, therefore, not emotional. I actually think this is a fairly ignorant (sorry) assumption. animais have emotions. Some, like elephants, have actual funerals when one member of their family dies. They have been observed grieving, being frightened, being happy, being lonely. They have the full spectrum of emotions, just like people.

EDIT: link exhibit all the same behavior as heterosexual breeding pairs. They have pinguim sex, they intertwine their necks, they preen (groom) each other.
Bonobos (same fonte as above), use sex (homosexual and other wise) for bonding purposes. They rub their genitals against each other.
Male link rub their genitals against the dorsal fin of other males, and females, literally, ride the dorsal fins of other females.

In short, animais are homosexual because they exhibit the same behavior with same sex partners as others of their kind do with their opposite sex partners. They behave in a way that allows them to achieve sexual gratification with their same sex partners.

I don't think I ever said anything about animais engaging in homosexuality purely for the sake of physical gratification, nor did I say that animais don't feel emotions. I think you're inferring quite a bit from my answer that isn't there. I mentioned the physical aspect entirely separate from the fact about animais engaging in it, those are two separate points.

So if it's not a problem, you're okay with infertile ocuples, couples who don't want children, and homosexuals having sex, right?

i don't care who has sex, I just have an opinion on the functionaity of the sex and who is doing who. So yes, I am ok with it, but I can be ok with something but have my own personal opinion of it, if you want to have sex for precreation or to have kids its your choice, i just chose wither, I want to seek understanding of or I have an opinion of it

Well, I don't know...

But it begs the pergunta - is being straight emotionally based or physically based? Hm...

In all sincerity - and this seems to be something that several straight people don't understand - being lgbt doesn't affect how you fall in amor - just who you fall in amor with.

Many straight "romances" are based on lust - physical, if you will. But many are based on amor - "emotional" if you will. Honestly, being gay is absolutely no different.

So it returns me to my first question. Which brings me to my answer - if you have a pergunta about what it's like or what it means to be gay, your answer lies in what it's like or what it means to be straight. Just switch the gender.

To many being straight is naturally as child birth, which is why I asked if being is also "natural" then what is it emotional or physically sense it technically isn't "natural" I have my own opinion on a gay mindset but I wanted to hear others opinion

I really don't know how to explain it to you any other way either, if you don't understand the point of sex outside of procreation. The "benefits" as you say can be the main goal of sex for an individual, and ergo it becomes the primary purpose. I imagine with almost a guarantee that at some point in your life - perhaps after you are happily married - you will have sex where procreation is not your primary purpose. Maybe you already have. There is no primary purpose, except in the intention of the actor, because it is multipurpose and all benefits from procreation to mental health can be a primary purpose. Maybe the purpose is simply orgasm - fine. There's nothing wasteful about that if that's the goal. Reproduction - yes, great, if that's your goal then fine. But also intimacy, love, bonding, maintaining a closeness in a relationship, relaxation, exercise, and entertainment, or even all of the above at the same time. Humans have sex... for ALL of these reasons, sometimes one, sometimes many, which is why there is no primary purpose. As do many other species of animais (dolphins, pigs, bonobos, etc), not solely for procreation. I feel like you see sex as a means to an end - the end being babies. It's so much mais than that. We are at an impasse, as far as I can see, regarding the purpose of sex. I know I can't convince you if I haven't yet that it's mais than just procreation, and that's fine. I accept your stance. But returning to your original pergunta - the act of sex is physical, I concede, but the consequences are emotional. You fall in amor with someone due to an emotional AND physical attraction. Take one away, and it's either friendship, or lust, but not romantic love. I am capable of falling in amor with just about anyone due to my specific orientation. But gays CANNOT fall in amor with the opposite sex. TRUE - they may amor them. But as I've explained time and time again, there's a difference between platonic - or filial, fraternal or familial amor - and romantic love. The kind of amor that's inspired great poesia and novels. That amor is different, and it absolutely requires a physical element, true. But it requires an emotional one as well. Both are inextricably intwined with each other. If you do not have one, it is not "true love," if you'll pardon the cliche.

Well, I don't think either answer is technically right. Scientists have tried to link homosexuality with a genetic cause or a physical component to the brain, but there's a lot of controversy over their results. There's not really an "emotional" component, just as there's not an "emotional" component to heterosexuality. There's certainly a mental component. We feel physical attraction to others for a variety of reasons, and whether those reasons are all simply mental or partially physical is uncertain.

What is certain is that it exists, and is common in the animal kingdom. There's certainly a lot of religious sentiment against homosexuality, but that sentiment can neither erase homosexuality nor benefit mankind. There are plenty of people who view it as a perverse thing, something to be hated and despised, which I feel should be none of their concern. Who do these people think they are, treating others as though they're scum for loving people of their own gender? My feeling is, if you're a Christian and you think that homosexuals are going to hell, keep it to yourself. They're tired of hearing it. They'll amor who they want, just as we all do.

so if it is not emotional, then can it be called a "choice"? if it is not physically base, then the notion that homosexuality is also in nature is slighty wrong because animais that partake in the act of sexing another animal of the same sex has little to do with being "emotionally" attached? Or am I off

So if people who are infertile have sex, don't thier sex lack a purpose? Is that what you are asking. I guess I would propably say yes in the sense no one is having a baby, however it it's not like they are lacking tools to have one do while the "act" is not different functionality of hetero people is still there while a gay couple lacks the functionality bit. Idealy man and women have sex and it makes a baby but if you are infertile that doesn't mean a baby can't be made but it can't be born. So to answer your pergunta the purpose of sex is to have bebês writer you want them or not, I see what you saying and yes people who have sex without wanting a can sex that I'd not purposeful however again it's still possible for a baby to be born from thier union. My answer is that there is no difference but it's not a absolute yes .

That's straightforward enough, I think we can close this line of discussion and put our focus into the other one.

If it is no different then why is it you can't have kids with one another or there is only a mutual benefit and not an external benefit

The problem is, tiagih, that heterosexual couples often don't choose to get pregnant. There's a lot of unwanted pregnancies that occur from heterosexual sex. Homosexuals can certainly be bad parents, but they'll almost never be parents of unwanted kids.

If a child is born with a "normal" body, with either male or female sex organs, not with a combination of the two.I believe that both hetrosexualality and homosexualality are determined in the brain.
I used to hear the saying that the human body's largest sex organ was the brain.This would mean that sexuality is determined both physically and emotionally. The brain is what sends messages for blood flow or hormones. This can be in response to emotional stimulus or without.
If you think about it, there are times when you may show signs of arousall without any decision on your part. Both awake or sleeping. Something in the brain triggers hormonal response. How many guys have awakened with an errection? It's a normal process.
Now the argument has been made that homosexual behavior is found in animals. I would think most of us who have been around gatos or dogs, have had our leg humped. (Not trying to be crude) Sex in animais is an impulse controlled por hormormes and instinct.
animais lack the natural ability of self control that humans have. So people exercise self control all the time. When awake, our brain trumps emotions,(which can lie) & controls what we allow our bodies to do.
If we become aroused in an inappropriate time or a situation that could bring immeadiate consequences, we control the urge.
Now I hope I've explained my understanding and tried answering the question. Even though I have a deffinate opinion on sexuality, I have not gone there because that was not in the question.
