We need to ask a couple seamen.
Still struggling to find things to talk about with Trigonometry-kun. No idea how to probe for topics.
Fair warning: I don't use lube
Also, I'm a barnacle.
Well, there goes my boner.

weve been granted permission to come aboard.
Chuck Tingle has probably written at length about this precise combination.

The creepy guy from Wind Waker?
We barely talk about vaginas here, seriously look at the first post of each page in this thread alone
I agree it can be toxic, but it's hardly for the reasons you presented (that we often say vaginas are gross, it's not done often, at all).Blood Diamonds

Stupidity
The guy on the other thread was funnier. "It's offensive to say it's not a choice". This current guy is kind of annoying - gays don't really want a relationship with other men, they just want easy gratification, straight men can pursue and enjoy giving oral because of "philias"... WTF.
I get what you're saying, and it makes sense but it's the 'not all of us will' bit I'm struggling with. Why? What causes same sex attraction to activate in some people and not others?
I wouldn't say being bisexual was a choice. I didn't wake up one day and decide to like boys and girls. For as long as I can remember, I have been attracted to both sexes. It's not even a case of liking one more than the other, I like both equally. I find it to be extremely rude and ignorant to say sexuality is a choice. It really, really grinds my gears.
The literary mastermind.
Even among people who believe themselves to be tolerant, the belief that all non-heterosexual orientations exist only as fetishes; or are inherently more sexual than the alternative, is depressingly persistent. It's frustrating to see someone agree that orientation/gender doesn't come down to choice, yet still pull the 'think of the children' card for including non-heterosexual characters in mainstream media, or treat any explicit acknowledgment of their existence as ramming other people's sex lives down their throats.

Well, I guess thats that. I cant unring that bell. My life has changed.
Host it so I can delete it. I assume this is what you were looking for?
Thanks a lot. Sorry for taking a while to reply, was busy last night. But that's just what I was looking for.

Its nothing new at all. Pretty old school homophobia there.. and one person who seemingly isn't aware that bisexual people exist.
I would say epigenetics. But I'm no expert, just a hobo. This is all out of speculation. ;_;
I'm not an expert either
Sort of similar to what I was saying. I agree with him. At least based on what I've read on the first page.
Why would he be homophobic or delusional? He actually presents a really good argument. He isn't the first though, I've read a theory similar to what he is saying. It's somewhat convincing.

So basically people aren't wrong when they tell their struggling gay teens that they are just confused and haven't found the right member of the opposite sex yet?
I guess I don't shed a tear for any gay people who are killed in Uganda or elsewhere. Since they are literally choosing to be gay, and could simply just search harder for an opposite sex partner.
That's a straw-man. Also, whatt does that have anything to do with sexuality being fluid rather than fixed? Like I said it's not like one sits through and ponders "should I be gay, bi or straight?" - it doesn't work like that.
"Gayness is a choice" is a running theme among conservative anti-gay propaganda. I don't think I really need to substantiate this?
It's delusional because in our world, it's already an uphill climb getting people to accept gays and bi's. What do you think is going to happen if you stood up and shouted: "Alright, maybe we're not intrinsically gay, but rather that we are all potentially gay."
Keep in mind that you're speaking to a populace who is convinced gays being married will threaten the fabric of society. And this only applies to countries where it's not a crime to be gay and you won't be jailed our hung for it.
It's so naive a viewpoint it doesn't merit any kind of consideration.

What I've heard a lot of people say is that even if being LGBT was a choice (which it is not), the right to do so shouldn't be infringed upon regardless. I agree with the sentiment, but it's not the reality of the situation obviously.

It's the logical conclusion, not a straw man. People literally wouldn't be wrong to state that those who think they are exclusively gay are simply just confused and haven't met the right person yet.
If being gay is a choice then I have no reason to criticize places like Uganda, other than that we consider secular idealogies as being more valid than religious ones. But there's really nothing that makes one objectively better than the other. And if being gay is a choice I don't have a problem with religious ideaoogies that seek to punish or discourage it.
Which is only a good argument if you think that secular idealogies based around consequentialism are the only valid ones.
Yes, it's a running theme. But fluid sexuality != choice. I don't know how to explain this any better or how to make myself more clear.
Again, that's not what the argument is about. No one is reaching the conclusion that being gay is a choice.

Sexuality is fluid. So it isn't that I am exclusively gay. I just haven't met the right women yet. Perhaps if I searched harder I could find a woman I find sexually appealing. By not putting effort into that I am essentially choosing to be gay.
Kinsey scale is fucking bullshit, and I wish its cult fanatics would stop shoving it down all of humanity's fucking throat. No, sorry. The world isn't a Clamp anime where everyone is fucking omnisexual.

Or perhaps you don't choose it, but you have no control over it and it can shift at random like a raging fluid river. Sounds like dedicated relationships would just be impossible.
Coincidentally none of you can say you aren't into animals. Sexuality is fluid. Have you met all the animals in the world to say for sure you wouldn't be attracted to a dog? Didn't think so. How come there isn't a Kinsey species scale?
Why does it matter? Honestly, tell me what benefit this course of thought, if it's even at all substantiated by medical studies, has for LGBT rights.
As I said to braxxe, this is fun to think about idly but it has no practical value at all.
He told me, without any irony in his eords, that he thinks getting people to think about sexuality as totally fluid can lead to a better society for everyone.
You know what this reminds me of? Hippies, and communist activists; people who believe that if we just try really hard and think positive thoughts, we can create an ideal egalitarian society.
The sarcasm in my post was lost on you. I know full well sexuality is not a choice. In fact, I made a post earlier about it. You don't just wake up and decide you like dick or pusssy or, in my case, both. I have always been attracted to both. It just took a while for me to realise what label my sexuality fell under.

But that's not practical in real life though.

It wasn't lost to me. I was adding on to it with an equally sarcastic post.
I am done discussing this. We won't get anywhere. Let's agree to disagree shall we?
Well... maybe there's a pattern here.
Okay.
