With many women becoming Bisexual, is homosexuality learned?

i got this from a myspace group


There have been numerous studies performed that attempt to show that homosexuality is something that is either genetic or biological. What a lot of the public does not know is that none of these studies have gained any factual proof that a person is indeed born homosexual. Part of the problem is the way that many of these studies have been reported through mainstream media. The reports through the media do not emphasize that the findings in these studies are only theory, so, much of the general public gets confused on the results that these studies produce.

One of the first major theories of people being born homosexual was that it was genetic. That theory has become rejected by most scientists across the board, including some of the lead scientists who pioneered these studies… The most recent guess of what makes a person born homosexual is that it starts in the womb, not in the genes, but this theory has many weaknesses, which many people overlook, hearing only the pros and not the cons.

Bisexuality is a thorn in the side for the people who argue that homosexuality is something one is born with. The reason why this is, is because of the obvious. They sexually admire the appearance of both sexes.. This definitely posses a problem.

We live in a society now where the outer appearance is primacy, which is driven predominately by sexuality. When a society gravitates itself into this type of atmosphere it puts pressure on the people, as a whole, to conform. Morality begins to be rewritten and becomes loosely defined. Once it becomes loosely defined then what is right and wrong, becomes relative.

When you hear many of the testimonies of people who have become bisexual, they don’t say that their feelings started at birth. They say that their feeling came later in life where they began to have a sexual attraction for the same sex.

Many polls have been taken and have shown alarming results pointing out that the majority of women polled have bisexual (homosexual) tendencies. These ‘straight’ women, either have engaged in homosexual situations or have fantasized about them.
Being that so many of these polls are true, why is this the case?

Women today are just as visual as men are. And on top of that, love sex more than ever, why? Because they get orgasms too. The sexual revolution showed that women can have a libido like a man, and have the same lust for dominance, power and pleasure.

It is much, much easier for a women to be bisexual than it is for a man, because for a man, it is more discouraged by society, than it is for women. So, there is much more pressure keeping men from engaging in curiosity towards homosexuality. Men have pressure from society against homosexuality, which bolsters their will on the inside, to resist homosexual curiosities.

Women, on the other hand, have it the exact opposite. There is more pressure today, than ever, for women to engage in homosexuality. Many times you see this from boyfriends that pressure their girlfriends into kissing another girl. Then, after she gets comfortable with the kissing, then she is pressured to engage into further sexual activity, why? Because it is taboo, and new, and what ever is taboo and new is exciting.

Once a person goes that far, usually they come away satisfied with the new experience. Pressure also even comes from other girls, which, is very common now. And more than anything, it has become trendy, but this is a type of trend that does not come and go. Once a person engages in any type of homosexuality, they will ’most likely’ have those tendencies till they die. The further a person engages, the more intense the sexual attraction becomes. Now, of course, it could diminish, but like trying to quit smoking a person has to be vigorously fighting the temptations, not only to engage in it, but also to not fantasize about it, and with time, the feelings will diminish, but usually not completely.

Sexual attraction starts in the mind. It starts with the engagement of fantasies. When a person chooses to engage in fantasies in their head, they simulate the act, which helps desensitize them. So, when they are actually presented with an opportunity to engage in a homosexual act, there will be little hindrance to keep them from it.

Because, so many women choose to fantasize about having a homosexual encounter, we see the rise that we do in female bisexuality.

The temptation for women is so much stronger than the temptation for men. The female body itself is extremely sexualized in our society, mainly from men promoting that sort of sexualization. But when women see that sexualization of women, over and over again, the temptation to lust over another women’s physical appearances becomes too great to resist.

It is usually women who have a strong conviction of resisting the status quo, who keep themselves from struggling with the temptations of bisexuality. My advice to women who don’t want that lifestyle and have a boyfriend who pressures them, or even girlfriends who do the same, it’s time to look for new friends, and a new boyfriend, because they’re not going to change, most likely. They’ll change you more than you will change them, in most cases...

How many times do we see women kissing on Television or in a movie? The song, “I kissed a girl”, by Katie Perry has been highly praised. That song epitomizes the pathway of a person that is becoming homosexual. Not that their preference for men would necessarily stop (which supposedly it does according to the testimony of some), but that their sexual preference shows that is not static (cannot change), but that it is ever changing. They choose to become bisexual from their inner will, giving into the pressures and temptations that society emphasizes.

  • Okay this post has been up for about a week now. First time I've seen it because I've been off line a lot lately. My initial reaction? *sigh* Well the less polite reaction to such an essay is "bollocks." My question for those who suggest that homosexuality is learned (or that bisexuality is) and not somehow an integral part of the person from this is: When did you know you were hetereosexual? Did you have to experiment first or did you just all of a sudden "know" one day that you liked the opposite sex.

    My own take on how sexuality develops is that it is never a simple matter. The only sexuality I truly know is my own and honestly my own story is of absolute, rampant, vigorous, unequivocal heterosexuality for the first 25 years of my life. I knew women who were pretty or beautiful but I never wanted to engage them beyond just seeing them as an example of human beauty. Then, I went to graduate school and for some reason while I saw plenty of attractive men, none really caught my eye - I was focused on school. Then one day I was gushing about my roommate (female) to my best friend and she said to me, "You're talking about her like you do one of your men." It hit me then - I had a huge crush on my roommate. As I explored that I realized that for much of my young adult life I'd said that I didn't think the soul had a sex/gender and it was the soul that attracted me. Looked at that way, it freed me to love someone for who she (or he) is and not because of their plumbing. But that is my experience. Someone else's experience is more than likely vastly different and in the end what in the world does it MATTER? Do we really NEED to know why someone is gay, straight, bi, tri, or even asexual? Is it because we have to prove our right to exist with that sexuality (whatever it is)? Unless someone is attempting to force me into an act I do not wish I honestly don't see the relevance of caring about what consenting adults of any number are doing in their bedroom(s).

    In the end I think I'd really like for folks to just see people as people.

    Peace,

    • i didnt write it, so i dont know if this came from someone's opinion or an article. since i got this from myspace. the person who posted it didnt provide a source. i agree to what you are saying, why do ppl have to prove they are bi, gay, str8, les, or tranny? i hear stories online in some lgbt groups that they want ppl to prove their sexuality. it gets so annoying, but i get tired of seeing fake ppl tryin to be homosexual. when i started college in 04, i wasnt interested in men either. i had more strong feelings for women than men, even though i have a male fiance.

      have u met ppl who wanted u to prove ur sexuality? when i read this article, i was like who the hell wrote this? it sounded ignorant. i had someone online one time wanted me to prove my sexuality by meeting "her." i was like i just met u yesterday and u want me to meet u now? she felt i was fake cuz i wasnt bi, im like my safety is important but im not gonna meet u like today just so u can get high on someone proving themselves to u.
      • I've never had anyone ask me to prove my sexuality. Should that ever come up I imagine my response will be extremely derisive laughter. *sigh* I suspect that the issue of "prove you are" is coming from the idea (and perhaps experience) of people in their late teens and early twenties "experimenting" or being "x, y or z - curious" but not serious and perhaps breaking hearts along the way. Once again - experimentation is normal. There's a great scene in "Chasing Amy" that I think gets at this really well. Joey Lawerence's character is standing in the middle of a rainy street telling Ben Affleck's character that (and I'll paraphrase here), "Maybe you knew your path was from point A to point B from birth but I didn't so I tried it all." The scene boils down to that yes, she identifies as lesbian, but she's also been incredibly sexually experiemental with both sexes as she tried to figure out who she was.

        I think we live in a society that is incredibly enamored with labels and having people "prove" one label or another allows us to safely keep them in a box that we can understand which is a comfort because I also believe everyone knows that no one can really be completely defined or categorized as ANYthing. We're all pretty much walking contradictions wrapped up in enigmas.
