On Human Sexuality.

It fascinates me that there is actually a reputable position of "human sexuality researcher" out there. "So son, what're you going to do with that college degree?" "I'm g'unna be a sexuality researcher!" pleasant little jingle, and I'm sure it complies with their inert childhood dreams indeed. Seriously though, how would one go about such a task as researching such a broad and diverse field as sexuality? Seemingly any anecdotal case study or small group would lead to erroneous results due to the "failure of composition" clause and I very much doubt willing and respectable participants would come flocking to an ad depicting "Sexual experiment being conducted ~ need >1,000 people" Well, I mean rest assured people would come - they just not be your average white picket fence guys from the Enzyte commercials.

However, with a little skepticism and scrutiny one can reasonably define sexuality as what it is and how it's not something that's malleable. Since the popular culture began picking up the topic of homosexuality psychologists, priests, and even your friendly neighborhood spiderman began theorizing as to the roots of human sexuality. However, none of these people are the right people to correctly define it. For sexuality exists without human social psychology in a myriad of other creatures and beyond the going-on's of behind the alter. It has existed far before priests have even been around to declare it a sin. Indeed, it is a scientist who must study it, for sexuality is a physical thing controlled by physical law. Think about it, sexuality has existed for many a millennium in lesser things without the capability for psychological evaluation. It's the most significant thing to the survival of our species and our whole complex ~ our whole bodily systems have been geared towards keeping us alive, why would mother nature not decide to stain in her hands in the naughty business?

Not even going into the scientific studies showing a correlation of one twin being homosexual increasing the chance of the other one being as well nor offspring with uncles or aunts who're homosexual possessing a higher chance of becoming gay or lesbian, let's delve into the logical argument of malleability. Don't you think with the horrible treatment homosexuals receive that if they could "shift" their sexuality to a more culturally accepted gender attraction they'd have done so? Indeed, many have tried. Psychologists ~ well, psychologists who aren't the equivalent of voo-doo doctors have almost universally reported failures of converting homosexuals in short-term and long-term case studies. I challenge a reader out there to find a case of a genuine homosexual being "converted" This is because what we find sexually attractive is hard-lined into our brain. That we can't just look at any old person and consciously decide "ooo-la-la" because if that were the cause, many freakish mates would have occured, men would have mated with women who weren't conducive to survival and vice versa. Nature took over this part of our brains so as to make sure we don't fuck it up. Pun intended. This is why certain physical structures of another produce "turn-ons" such as being thin and well endowed (if you know what I mean) In this way it's no more useful to say that a person can change their sexuality than to say they can change their skin color. Perhaps over a course of thousands of years selective adaptation can occur to alter our taste in physical traits, but over the course of one lifetime it's not possible because the physical inclinations have already been given to us.

Things like bisexuality do exist, but this doesn't contradict the scientific argument. You'll find many animals who're bisexual, and all it is, is just a denomination of sexuality given two interests at birth rather than one.

For me, I could never be "sexually" attracted to another male. I've tried, it's just *not* possible. Even trying to think of them as female my body recognizes the fake out and doesn't lend me any ecstasy. From a socioological perspective this is confusing, because males are less confusing and let's face it... more active and hence fun than females... but it's not society that dictates my sexuality ~ it's nature. Thus it follows that when I see an attractive female, a hormonal concoction of fire and energy engulfs my being that I'm no more in control of than my serotonin levels. Due to this, i've developed a lust for all things female. Their comforting nature, sympathetic demeanors, and childlike innocence... I would much rather spend time with a female than a male.

The same I'm sure is true for the readers out there. Ever since you thought about this stuff, you've fantasized about one gender (or two if bisexual) you receive the hormonal ecstasy when you're around that one gender... the nervousness...excitatory response..I challenge you to try and mimic that feeling with whatever the "neglected" gender is...

I'm off to a case study..
