Why are there so many Sexualities?

Discussion in 'Off-topic Discussion' started by Road2Recovery, Aug 3, 2017.

  1. Are there really different Sexualities or just Mental Illnesses ... I believe people try new things that lead to Sexuality changes within there mind ... I honestly believe everyone is capable of being heterosexual

  2. I don't know. Personally, I do believe that the only way to truly know would be through testing though.

    I would recommend you go to a queer meetup and find somebody that has a non-binary sexuality and start discussing with him. What I've discovered (even though I am a straight heterosexual male) is that they add more breadth and another kind of dimension to sexuality that I haven't encountered before. And yes, I was before thinking that they were crazy, but I've discovered that on the contrary, they're quite healthy and have a different point of view that I wasn't aware before. Alternatively, try to get your hands on any recent popular books on gender queerness. Just because you don't understand something, doesn't give you a right of invalidating some other people's opinion.

    Many studies says sexual orientation is mostly genetic or at least biological. Watch "Hjernevask", in english Brain Wash, there's an episode about the "gay gene".

    Millenials are bored and have been encouraged through schooling to be unique and fight for rights. I used to be so ignorant of political views and now that I've chosen what is important to me, I've learned conservatism is the new democracy. Science is a joke now, so all the people who were teaching in the early 2000s that chromosomes define sexuality flipped their stance that there is a spectrum now. It's all programming. This was all a movement for social division. These lgbtq2i people just go around calling people out for hate speech because they won't use their pronouns. I'm not a mind reader , I will not pretend to mind read. Try having a rational discussion with these people they just pull out their cell phones and record you, and call you a racist bigot.
    On democratic side everyone wants a higher min wage, they want safe spaces with race segregation(because that's not institutional racism), they want to label themselves as victim of the government. They want men who identify as female, to join the military with other females in the showers. Which recently got removed thank god. Expect these next 5 years to be hectic. Expect something biblical to happen in the next 15 years.
    I will be buying an ar 15 before martial law breaks out.

    Porn has opened me up to a bisexual or gay for that matter consideration. I think it's possible to be sexually attracted to men and then change to women, through trial and error or some kind of programming. Though I would not promote the idea by any means.
     
  8. There aren't. These days, there is no strong voice of reason to keep the PC leadership in check so they have abandoned science and started making shit up as they go along. We have a populace comprised of ignorant dickheads who believe anything these people say. A couple years of this and you end up with extra sexualities.

  9. I'll remind all participants of this thread to remain respectful. This subject matter may inflame passions which are easy to take out on people that don't have the same point of view. The thread will be locked if this descends into name-calling and personal attacks.

    Because there are so many different people. Sexuality is already infinitely different among, say 10 heterosexual males.

  11. You're either male or female. That's all. I don't get this whole gender spectrum stuff. I doesn't make sense. It's amazing that you have scientists now coming out and saying that gender is on a spectrum... Scientists who very well know that through the study of biology, that there's only male and female, nothing more, nothing less.

    You're confused, you're talking about sex (i.e., biological sex, which I don't agree with you on either) and gender (i.e., the social constructs of masculinity and femininity) when this thread is about sexuality. Here's a short article to help you and anyone else who might be interested define what people are discussing in this thread:
    https://au.reachout.com/articles/the-difference-between-sex-sexuality-and-gender
     
  14. There are only two sexes; male and female. Sex is simply biological, it's not fluid. Gender however is more than that, it is also cultural. It's not just about biology but also the way we behave, dress, speak and even identify as; these are all subjective things. And because of that many would argue that it's open to change with time, aka "is on a spectrum", as culture over decades change it's perspectives on how our two sexes are supposed to look and behave. I personally think that there can only be two genders, because sex is the very foundation of the concept of gender, and there are only two sexes.

    But, nonetheless, it's a fact that there are many gender identities. So sexuality is not necessary based on sexes. It can be based on subjective identification with a particular gender, "real" or not. Which makes sense because sexuality is also subjective and only way we can measure it, other than just believing person who says they are gay, bi or straight, is though observing their behavior. Which isn't always a reliable because gay person can pretend to be straight and suppress their desires (maybe because of their devotion to religion for example) and straight person can perform homosexual acts (maybe because of porn induced, unnatural fetish for example). So really there is no objective way to measure it apart from just believing what these people say they are.

    Subjective (sexuality) and subjective (gender identity); two subjectives seem to go well together quite well. Bottom line is that sex is a static condition, gender is, arguably, a fluid identity and sexuality is a type of sexual behavior. These things are apples, oranges and grapes; related but not the same thing. So you can't really say that there are only two sexes hence there are only certain limited amount of sexualities, it doesn't work that way.

  15. As for the question "why are there so many sexualities?" It's because people have colorful fantasy. They simply made them all up. Because our minds like to classify things and put them in boxes. Every time we see a new sexual behavior we want to classify it. That's just our monkey mind doing it's thing.
     
  16. Wait a minute. It's been scientifically proven that through biology that there are only two sexes: male and female. Is everything a social construct now?

    No, but there are people with sex chromosome disorders and ambiguous genitalia due to these disorders, so to say that there are only two biological sexes is not true. What gender do you assign to people with these conditions? And why should this gender be assigned by someone other than themselves?

  18. This liberal establishment is just a crazy as the conservatives are. Humans have been around for thousands of years and suddenly we got all these extra sexes. That should be a red flag for anyone with any common sense. Every time they make up a new sex, somebody gets 20 million dollars in government funding to do who knows what with. I need to make up a sex and get paid myself.

    Don't need studies to know that people are born male or female. I don't need to know your sexuality that's your business keep me out if it.

    That is easy for someone who is well defined to say. For a long time parents with doctors have decided on the sex of about 0.3% of new births. They were born with small genetalia from both sexes. Now with genes, we can see how much more complicated it is. XXY and XYY may look physically normal. In many cases, biologically, it is not just XX female or XY male. Adding to that your understanding of fetishes, after effects of child abuse, and then some things that you have not imagined, you can see that the situation is very complicated. In Rural america, there have always been women who wore overalls and could work shoulder to shoulder with their neighbors when a need arose. It is only recently that it has gotten political, and, sadly, our politics is now giving us our religious issues.
