Understanding Homosexuality
Some early civilizations, such as those of ancient Greece and Rome, often accepted homosexual behavior but, in general, did not make a distinction between homosexuality and heterosexuality as orientations. Homosexual and heterosexual responses were considered to both be "natural" feelings that manifest to a greater or lesser degree in different individuals.

I strongly believe that one's sexual oriantetion CANNOT be changed. I'm 20 years and a University student. During my High School years I tried dating females to hide the real me but I failed, the "chemistry" was missing. If we can change our sexuality than I assume we can easily change our ethnicity, don't you think? |

A person can start their life as a heterosexual,but if one partener becomes frigid the other may well turn to homosexuality & yet prefer a heterosexual
identity,what do you think of this progression? |

It has been reported recently that some prenatal tendency has been found for homosexual males to be born as the younger brothers of heterosexual ones (see, for example, Times Online, June 26, 2006).
This tendency could fit well into survival benefits within the family/tribal structures that governed tens of thousands of generations of evolution of our species. It could have lessened divisive and maybe often destructive competition for limited resources, such resources including not only property and wealth but – maybe much more importantly – access to healthy females of child-bearing age. Historically such competition has not infrequently led to fraternal and tribal conflicts, sometimes of homicidal nature but in any case, ultimately disruptive to the well-being of the tribe.
Whether similar prenatal influences on sexuality occur in other primates and animals, generally, may be unknown at present, but there is little doubt that in many closely observed animal groups mechanisms acting to suppress excessive competition for females are quite commonplace. We see this in closely knit groups as disparate as wild horses, lions, some species of birds and Meerkats.

I beleive that in many cases homosexuality is a trait of yours. But just like any other trait it can change. For example: someone may have been born without an athletic body nor mindset. It's just the way they are. If they really, really want to become athletic then that can change, and they may become athletic with hard work. Homosexuality is more controllable then what some may think. This doesn't mean that they can change it easily. It also doesn't mean that they have to change it, but if they want to then i beleive it can be done with hard work. |
