I actually agree with that conclusion. I just disagree with the stigma and vitriol and fear of "other" I read here on this forum from people who pretend to be a) christians and b) residents of America's Friendliest Hometown.

No one ever talks about animal instinct when it comes to these matters, but I believe it plays into them and often is the reason for the emotion and the rejection and even the feelings sometimes of abhorrence...which is really too strong a word and will cause criticism. Most of us are wired to feel sexual attraction on some level to the opposite sex. That is how our species is preserved and that is very, very, very, strong. The opposite is often true and we may feel repugnance when the same sex presents in a way that is not feeling or acting like our instincts feel or act or respond. Sometimes these things have a great deal less to do with our brains than they do with our hormones and our deeply wired instincts. I think this is truer with males and I don't know why. I have never thought, felt or reacted like a male. I think that if a woman approached me sexually I would have negative feelings toward her. That also would have something to do with other issues that have been taught as well in our lives and our experiences. It would not FEEL comfortable.
