The EGO is what sustains human life, not procreation.

hello namaste,

It is very difficult to define homosexuality as a mental illness. Consider that there are also mentally ill and insane heterosexual people and this too could be a genetical disorder or a malfunction. How could it be that normal heterosexual couples keep on producing homosexual children all the time? How you define something that is normal?

Maybe it is just nature or god that is working to make homosexual people, but then it is just normal and not an aberration.

Sexual needs are very complicated things in the world of humans. I will post more about this next week, if I know more about the rules of this forum.

bye

I am proposing that homosexuality is a mental illness (this is not a new theory but it seems to have been dropped due to political correctness)

The reason for my proposal is that if homosexuality was genetic then it would have been selectively eliminated from the gene pool. And with estimates of 10% of the population being homosexual it is very unlikely that there is a genetic cause for this.

I believe that the upbringing of a child causes mental problems that, unless they are correctly resolved, result in the person growing up to be a homosexual. Once the homosexual begins receiving sexual gratification from the same sex they are 'rewarded' which further reinforces the homosexual behaviour.

When this process is repeated enough times the individual has become conditioned to respond sexually to the same sex in much the way that Pavlov conditioned his dogs.


Please discuss.



It's quite obvious that you have no children to speak of and probably have never sat down and exchanged so much as two words with a homosexual about why they are the way they are. And I really hope you shed some of your more bigit qualities before you decide to have children, for the sake of those children.

It is not an illness, it's a preference.

"Every individual is at once the beneficiary and the victim of the linguistic tradition into which he has been born - the beneficiary inasmuch as language gives access to the accumulated records of other people's experience, the victim in so far as it confirms him in the belief that reduced awareness is the only awareness and as it bedevils his sense of reality, so that he is all too apt to take his concepts for data, his words for actual things."

It's one thing to simply enjoy a style of life that one enjoys, but it's another thing altogether to refer to another person's choice as "wrong" or to rationalize their behavior as being pathological or resulting from some sort of inadequacy or failing so as to create a sense of superiority or separation as yet another projection of a personal fear or control issue.
