: : : A problem we all assume is that there is one type of homosexuality.
: : There's another problem: people assuming that they know of which they speak when all they've done is created categories and decided they are 100% correct. DATA please..... and if you're not non-heterosexual then please state whether you are a "genetic" or otherwise, according to your own analysis. If you are heterosexual, you speak of something from opinion alone. You can have no inherent knowledge of something you don't have genetically.

: : There isn't. There are many different reasons for it...some can be genetic, others social influence, etc. A genetic homosexual is very easy to spot out...they are the effeminate men with the gay voices,
: : I suggest you read some "gay" (non-heterosexual, rather) voices. Pick up some non-fiction non-heterosexual books and learn from people who know. If non-heterosexuals say they were "nurtured into" non-heterosexuality, so be it. But take it from the real source, not what is deemed correct but is only popular "information".
: : Other times, there can be straight people who experiment with bisexuality, and that is more of a psychological homosexuality.
: : Be clear about the terms you use. You have now used bi-sexuality interchangeably with homosexuality. Define your personal meaning of homosexuality, bi-sexuality, heterosexuality, and any others that make it into your own categories.
: : And then there is faculative homosexuality...where one resorts to it, like in prisons.

: : Been incarcerated lately?

: : : Just thought you might like the science lesson! :)
: : The only lessons to be learned here are "do not assume you are an expert"; "speak from experience"; "define your terms".
: : And don't talk down to me.
