Is H0m0sexuality a choice?

[QUOTE="Premier1101"]oops, yeah thinking about the opposite made me write opposite? weird eh? i edited it.Jandurin

I choose to have sex with my girlfriend, who happens to be the opposite sex.

It's not like I'm just walking around and suddenly I'm having sex. It takes an act of volition.

Sexuality is a choice. That's all that needs to be said.MissRiotmaker

No choice there. There are supposedly millions of people who have homosexual attractions but don't act on them. But that's not what we're talking about.

Whats wrong with that? What two consenting adults get up to behind closed doors is nobody's business but their own.

This isn't a moral debate, simply whether or not it's a choice.

but can you choose to be attracted to somebody? In my experience, you either find them attractive or you don't. Theres not a lot of choice involved.Mr_sprinkles

Some of the people my friends find attractive seem repulsive to me :?

A homosexual is one who engages in sexual intercourse with the same sex, not one who merely feels the attraction.

I never one day woke up and suddenly decided, "You know what? I like girls instead of guys." It just happened. The same holds true for h0m0sexualz. RiSkyBiZ-13

Homosexuality is a behavior, not an inclination.

We're not arguing Webster definitions here, homosexuality is referring to the sexual attraction to the same sex.

[QUOTE="swizz-the-gamer"][QUOTE="MissRiotmaker"]Sexuality is a choice. That's all that needs to be said.MissRiotmaker

I'd like to see some kind of validity to your argument as well, anything would suffice.

If that's true, then the millions of people who have homosexual urges yet don't act on them are homosexuals. We're talking about behavior.

There are people that have never had sex that consider themselves homosexual. It's attraction that makes one homosexual.

Just because people "hide" it doesn't mean they aren't. It just means they're cowards.

1. Homosexuality is a behavior.

2. There hasn't been a sexual inclination gene discovered.

Millions of people have homosexual urges? I doubt that. I am talking about urges, everyone knows ACTING on homosexuality is a choice, no argument there. Acting on anything is a choice, we're in control of our own bodies.

Most gay men I have known assert that it is in their genetic structure. I don't know for sure if that's true and I really don't care. If it is true however that would mean that people are evolving in a way geared toward leveling off the population as homosexuality occurs in the wild only in the event of over population. That would make sense because even though small towns have a gay population the ratio is considerably higher in the cities I have lived in. Choice or nature, I don't really find anything wrong with it, it would actually be pretty nice to have no reason to deal with women.

lol. its just stupid to believe that homosexuality is a choice. its like saying hetero is a choice. People are hetero, homo or bi. They are basically born that way, and then eventually realize what they want. Some people may deny their true feelings for various reasons, but people dont just chose who to be attracted to. This might sound mean, but I think hetero is normal, but bisexual and homosexual orientation is something along the lines of a birth defect. The whole point of being born is to reproduce, and homosexuality does not produce another being. If everyone was homo the human race would die out. It's not that homo is wrong, it just isnt natural or productive to society. but really, we are overpopulated enough, so I dont care. lolTalldude80

did you know joey that sexual preference is supposedly influenced by society, parents, and peers? you could gain your urges based on sexual preference due to the way you were raised and situations that influence your choice? It has been reasearched a bit.

You're rightish... but it is actually

live

reproduce

die

It has been scientifically proven based on species of moth that only live for a day, what do they do? they eat, mature, find a mate, and die. over and over again, every single day. It's too bad the species has been dropping in numbers due to deforestation.

Can u pwn me? :oops:

I'm going to give you the religious answer:

Homosexuality is a form of sin. All sin is brought on by temptation, otherwise none of it would exist. Technically, no, homosexuality is not a choice but you can choose not to fall for this temptation. According to the Bible, God does not tempt us beyond what we can bear. It is arguable that it is a choice because you fall to a tempation. Now, sin leads to more sin. Once you fall for a sin, you want more and thus become what is known as a homosexual. It's for this same reason that you see homosexuals turn to Christianity and set aside their homosexuality.

I'm going to say that it isn't really a choice to be tempted like that, but you can always say no.

Argue with me if you want, but if you're going to diss my beliefs or anything like that... don't.

Physical Attraction is NOT a choice. You are either born attracted to men, or attracted to women. It's not like one day you wake up and decide you want to be gay MasterKingMP

exactly. a few of you guys out there are intelligent afterall. and to the religious people, gimme a break. It's not a sin to be gay the bible was written by homophobes i bet.
