I was a Baptist Pastor and I am gay and that was medically proven during electronic shock therapy. They put me in a booth at a hospital and put a wire ring that measured temperature changes. They showed me about 1000 pictures of men and 1000 pictures of women. When my body temperature increased when I saw pictures of the men, they delivered high voltages of electricity through other wires that were attached. It was horrific. But the machine never recorded anything when I saw all those pictures of nude women. There isn't anything that can be done to influence the outcome of those tests. It proved medically I was born gay and it is absolutely fine.
As an actual homosexual like you, I think the self diagnosis of homosexuality is inherently an issue. Especially in recent times where they have created a value system on people who are a minority on the basis of their sexual preference, a lot of people are going to pretend that they’re lesbian, gay, bisexual just because it’s trendy. It sucks because it causes the numbers of people who are gay/lesbian/bisexual to go up, making it appear as if it’s a choice when in reality these people are literally heterosexual. It’s also going to mess up any studies done because you have people who are not even homosexual in these studies being studied as if they were homosexual. The younger generation (generation z) had a self diagnosis of being somewhere in the LGBTQ at around 20%, and although I do think some of the growth is valid due to public acceptance going up, a lot of that is what I just explained..
I am sad to hear about your negative experiences and want to let you know that you are a unique and amazing man. I hope you are doing great! I have heard that having older male siblings influences the data towards being attracted to males, did you have older brothers? Regardless, you are obviously very elevated in your native community, and my hope is that you accomplish all that you want.
@@AIexitto I'm not sure "self-diagnosing of homosexuality" is such an issue. I myself am gay and if you asked middle school me if I wanted to be gay or straight, I definitely would have said straight. I was bullied a bit and lost some friends. You make an interesting point that there is a bit of a "trend" to be gay now but I don't see that as a problem either. I've had some friends that thought they were gay and then thought they were bi and then asexual or whatever but I don't see a problem with kids experimenting and discovering themselves. In the end, even if straight kids were pretending to be gay just for fun, whats the problem with that? Gay people certainly pretend to be straight quite often. This sounds like you just don't like seeing gay people around and wish gay people stayed in the closet longer like they did 30 years ago.
Isn’t that fact for all thoughts and feelings also? What if we expanded this into a more or new research field study? And isn’t gender identity just the same as emotion and personality? They’re really all the same thing, im sure.
I have always had a hunch that there was a biological, physiological basis to the development of homosexuality. I am happy that research is being conducted on this matter.
I've seen research from the time I was in high school in the early '80s that sexuality was connected to physical structures in the brain that we are born with and have no control over.
I am panromantic (I feel love for everyone at all times), yet I am demi/sapiosexual (meaning I need a strong emotional and intellectual - and even spiritual - connection with someone to be able to sexually connect to someone). I am monogamous, just like my mom. But my dad is polyamorous. Why? I have no clue. Also my brother and I are both genderneutral. He has strong feminine traits (and thought he was gay for a while until he became very happy with a dominant and masculine woman). I am feminine, but identify 55% with femininity and 45% with masculinity. I am attracted to both women and men. Slightly masculine women and slightly feminine men (but more 50/50 like myself). You can understand, I have been single for six years 😅 Why I am writing it, is that we can’t label people. I have a friend whom identifies as lesbian and is also asexual. I have a friend whom is polyamorous and in a long-term relationship with a man and a woman. I know cis-people in heterosexual relationships. I know transpeople and non-binary persons. Sexuality and gender is so beautifully complex. But one thing I learned is, understand your own gender (in my case, I identify as a woman but inside I feel quite genderfree and not bound by gender conformities or rules set by society) and your sexual orientation (I can love everyone, but I can only have a sexual relationship with in a monogamous long-term relationship with either a man or a woman, with whom I can share an emotional, intellectual, spiritual and physical connection). How on earth to capture all of that within science? 😊 I am pretty curious. 😅
There are also animals that change sex, and animals that are both sexes at the same time. Human sexuality is a spectrum. Most likely God is Love, nothing more or less.
This has been criticized and has a lot of problems, it has selection bias, confounds sexual behavior with sexual identity, ignores women, ignores romantic attraction which isn't always sexual. Ignores bisexuality.
Yes. There are many causes, from intrauterine environment to methamphetamine. Everybody becomes omnisexual on some drugs and those behaviors are reinforced by repetition. Do you have a particular target in mind and what does he look like?
@mikemondano3624 No from the research it strongly suggests that sexual orientation is inborn, innate and unchangeable. Same way you cannot turn a gay man straight. It seems the organizational effects of hormones on the fetal brain prior to birth determines your sexual orientation and it has have permanent effects. sexual orientation is not a learned behaviour. Attraction is the most accurate representation of a person’s true sexual orientation because identity and behavior can be context-dependent. People may change the identity labels they use and who they have sex with but sexual attractions are stable over time. Sexual orientation is a pattern of desire, not of behaviour or sexual acts per se. It is not a simple act of will or a performance. We fall in love with men or women because we have gay, straight, or bisexual orientations and not because of choice.
Someone told me anecdotal observations correlating an older age of a mothers during pregnancy and the likelihood of a man becoming a cross dresser. That would tie in with hormone levels during fetal development.
Everything is correlated w/everything else in the right context. In _How To Lie With Statistics,_ the author discovered that the number of semicolons on the front page of the NYT was correlated w/the number of deaths in India each day. I presume that even you wont claim causality. A Leftist professor very recently claimed that everyone would get equal test scores with the right _context_. Maybe that context includes the highest IQ students being drunk. You evade mans volitional mind and its influence on psychology. What happens when a young child is encouraged, knowingly or not, to disintegrate his mind. The mind, contra modern culture, is the key to mans nature. And man is a mind/body unity. The body and mind are not coincidentally connected, as in mysticism and subjectivism
There are a lot of rich gay people out there, they should fund this research and end the controversy. I only wish that those over the top gay people behave the same way that heterosexual behave in public; that "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME" does not goes well with people and causes some of the animosity toward gay people. Let's be nice and respectful of others.
Simon LeVay himself, admitted that the study was inconclusive in 2001, “It’s important to stress what I didn’t find. I did not prove that homosexuality is genetic, or find a genetic cause for being gay. I didn’t show that gay men are born that way, the most common mistake people make in interpreting my work. Nor did I locate a gay center in the brain.” (as quoted in Byrd, et al., 2001, emp. added)
But there ARE physical differences in the brain. And that is a fact no one can deny if they are honest. Genetic, no. Hormones the fetus is exposed to in utero, yes. There are two stages of pregnancy where the hormones are important. One is physical development and the other is brain development. That's just scientific fact.
@@mikemondano3624 Man reproduces heterosexually, thus NEEDS a heterosexual psychology. Emotions and imagination and social approval do not create, change or destroy the facts of reality. Leftists want a Garden Of Eden where their emotions create prosperity and sexuality. Sadly, tragically, the concrete, material universe is reality, not a product of consciousness. Leftists are trying to get high without having to pay.
