    I could believe that, I remember another study where men and women had there junk hook up to a blood flow sensors and then they were exposed to pornography. Straight men could not be turned on by male gay porno and vis versa of homosexual men, but women, as long as it was not animal sex could be turned on by either men on men, men on women or even women on women porn!

    I don't know the implications of raising gay children and I don't know how to quantify homosexuality in regards to right or wrong, my moral compass points towards more important issues regarding in my opinion different ethical and moral issues so I guess I couldn't say how terrible if at all this is or isn't if it were true or not. That being said if this could be understood scientifically it is another piece to understanding humanity and nature. The implications of knowing why people are or are not gay, and more importantly if children learn homosexuality from there parents or not is in some ways probably some important information to have. Something learned from this might help explain other parts of our psyche yet to be explained you never know, I know I don't.

    How about if he just turned on his spell checker? His posts are downright embarrassing. Half the time I have to read them twice, but fortunately I've learned that it's not worth the effort so I don't bother.

    Perhaps he thinks he's just being cute, but then he should ask how "cute" this stupid stuff is for our many members who speak other languages and don't read English as easily as you and I do. I wonder how much time they've wasted trying to find out what "sesual" means--unsuccessfully.

    I honestly think you guys should have told him to shape up or be banish long time ago. I've seen incomprehensible trolls before and they think they can be obnoxious but not break forums rules because few forums set standards for minimum spelling and grammar.

    That might also have to do with women on average being more empathetic than men. Seeing other people turned on can turn women on even if they find the other people repulsive. Similar to how women more often than men will cry if they see someone else crying, even if they were the one who made that person cry. But I don't know if that effects ones actual sexual preferences.

    Is that sort of like how when you see one person vomit it can cause you to vomit as well?

    Maybe :shrug: Evolutionary psychologists believe this behavior is a fast way to communicate and probably evolved before speech in humans. Watching a gay couple hold hands or kiss might make a straight observer suddenly want to hold someone's hand or be kissed but I don't know if it makes them want to do it with someone of their own sex as well.
