Sexuality

Separate locker rooms are pointless. It'd be easier to stop teaching our kids to associate nudity with sexuality. Besides, someone is just as/even more likely to experience arousal by watching someone stretching or exercising outside of the locker room as they are by seeing them change. Watching someone change clothes when they aren't trying to be sexy about it is kind of boring.
 
I was sitting in my class today. A kid made a comment about how he wished everyone would walk around naked. Another kids said "what about dudes?"... The whole class laughed, then the teacher kicks in on how he isn't even going to go into that subject...

Just found it interesting that he wouldn't talk up when the first student made the comment on all people walking around naked...

It is almost as if talking about bisexuality and sexual orientation is Taboo.
 
Sexual orientation is taboo, it's completely ok for persons to talk about the other sex in a sexual nature (this would include kissing in public etc.)

However, if two guys did that it would be totally gross and disgusting.

also note that I did not add females to that list, as in most scenarios it's ok for girls to do that.
 
Another stereotype (that might make the argument more fun I think) is that gay people are pansies - Girly men. I know that there are a some out there who are IMO unnecessarily over feminine, but a rather good friend of mine (who happens to be gay) is definitely a normal guy who talks about normal guy things like soccer and weapons and stuff. Being gay does not mean that a guy is all girly. I find this stereotype practically everywhere and it's rather annoying...

Also, to the guy above me:
Guys find guys making out to be gross on an average but we're ok with lesbians. However, I've had this talk with quite a few girls and they all seem to have a similar opinion. Lesbians are gross. Gays? Not all that much.

And it seems you are particularly against gay people. Why so? Why are lesbians not gross?

Unless of course you were talking about how things are in general.

Oh right, because the stereotype that guys like soccer and weapons is totally fine....

he didn't say that all men have to talk about soccer and weapons, I'm not big fan of weapons either, but I like soccer and still I'm guy... It's just an example of things, that usually men talk about more than women (it's just fact, not steretype)
 
I think that stereotyping flaming gay males and females is pointless to the argument. You would not believe how large of a percentage of gay males and females are in the closet or want to live a life as far away from the flaming stereotype as possible because that lifestyle does not suit them. They just happen to be attracted to the other person of same gender, and not even sexually sometimes...

He said "like normal guys", implying that you aren't normal if you don't talk about those things. Or if you are a girl, it's not normal to talk about them.

All I'm saying is no one is really "100% straight". We're all a little gay sometimes.

Some people would look at this and say that i'm insecure about my sexual orientation.
I just don't like people calling me things that i'm not. That applies to like everything I do.
Maybe you're not 100% straight, but I'd like to think i'm pretty close.
I don't find the male personality attractive in nearly any way, as I don't get excited over the male physicality either.
And that's okay either way, for either of us.

Pretty close =/= 100%
 
I personally believe homosexuality is a choice, and not something you are born with. I know 2 identical twins, one of them is gay, and one of them is not. Identical twins have the same genetic makeup, and the same DNA. One would think that if homosexuality is something that you're born with, either both twins would have to be gay or both straight. I also know people that have switched back and forth, I think your 'orientation' is something you choose.

Just because its (perhaps) not genetic doesn't mean its a choice. It could be down to other factors such as mothers hormones during birth, to name one possibility.

I know 2 identical twins. One of them was born with only 8 fingers (the three fingers on his one hand are evenly spread out in a way that it isn't like he is "missing" the other two, if that makes sense).


also, identical twins don't have the same dna

Being yourself = being unnecessarily feminine? What's wrong with being feminine?

A.k.a. bisexual.

If they're actually switching, they're not bisexual by the definition most people use. But I'd say most people who switch between sexual orientations either don't fully understand themselves, or are trying to change themselves to fit some kind of outside expectation.


The feminine gay men debate is kind of interesting, but it's important to remember that some part of that is actually cultural. There was a whole "gay culture" a while back that promoted acting that way for some people, and while that culture isn't really prevalent anymore (due to AIDS and increasing acceptance of homosexuals, among other things) some echoes of it still linger on. So sure, it is a bit weird, but I think there are more gay people who act that way because they think they should than gay people who act that way because it's really how they are.

There's also the related idea of dominance in a relationship, which would be interesting to see people's opinions about. Some people seem to want to have power over their partner ("being the man" in the relationship), and others seem to want to submit. Both of these personalities appear in all genders and sexual orientations.
