    <sigh> This was something that was cultural. And you seem to keep pointing out to male homosexuality and overlook that many women enjoy same/bi/straight relationships which has little to do with attraction and everything to do with pleasure.

      I didn't say anything in that particular post about men exclusively. I'm not restricting anything I'm saying to men only.

      Interestingly enough though, women are actually a little more complicated according to some of the research. Particularly the research that focuses on physiological measures of sexual arousal rather than self-report.

      There are also twin-studies by the way... they found that the concordance rates go in this order: monozygotic twins > same-sex dizygotic twins >same sex non-twin sibling > adoptive same-sex siblings. This supports a genetic/biological influence.

        Here are a couple citations in the event you'd like to read them.
        Studies of both men and women.

              Yah why the F*** do we need studies and facts and stuff when we can just make stuff up for the sake of posting? Siggie, you should know better by now.

                  Oh yeah... the mark of a rationality.
                  Don't then say that your opinions (that's all they are) are based on any sort of critical thinking because your outright dismissal of any and all contradictory evidence clearly demonstrates a startling lack of critical thinking and logic. *evokes Gene Wilder from Willy Wonka* You lose! Good day sir!

                    Oh yeah... as if psychologists don't make up stuff. My grandmother would have sent them all to therapy with a broom in one hand and a dough roller in the other for having no clue about life and pulling western democratic bull$hit out of their vor.

                      We're not talking about Freud or even counseling at all here.

                      We're talking about experimental psychologists and they are doing science just as physicists, chemist, and biologists are.
                      Nothing came from anyone's vor. It's all EXPERIMENTAL and it's peer-reviewed.

                      I saaaaaaaaaaaaaid... GOOD DAY SIR!
