Actually I was refering to homosexual behavior of wild animals in thier natural settings.
Now the differance between humans and animals really isnt all that much except humans often remain in homosexual relationships while animals tend also mate to produce offspring.
in other words what us humans would call bi sexual behavior and this is almost only found amoung males.
This is most notably noted by wolves in the wild.
WHEN they are in thier male pack form...this is when the young males are driven out of thier home pack and band together for a couple years.
Dogs are a human bred animal and not natural to begin with and my nutered dog dosnt seem atracted to anythign except being a over grown lap dog.
Or chaseing that ground squirrl.
While its true that MOST primate homosexual behavior is for domanation reasons there are still those rare ones we cant explain.
Also I got to try and recall the name of this darn type of monkey.
Anyway this breed of monkey reenforces its family bonds mainly through sex and not just sex to procreate but actually sex for pleasure (one of the few spieces we have found that like to copulate in a varaty of possitions as well) My kids think they are funny to watch course my youngest things they are hugging but the monkeys affections go both ways to the same sex and the opposite sex.
but I notice and I havent found any studies on it since face it animal homosexual behavoir isnt exacly a dinner topic but mammal's who show homosexual behavior for whatever reason it seems the more intelagent and advanced thier brain is the more tendancy the species as a whole has of having more homosexual tendancys....darn if I know if it even has a possability of truth but like I said I doubt anyone will ever look into it.
Animal Planet is a wonderfull channel.
The Therory of a chemical imbalance was just that a THERORY untill a few months ago.
Now its been some time since science showed us brain wave patterns and the differances between people.
now the differing brain wave patterns gave birth to the idea and therory that maybe there was a chemical differance.
However I there was never any proof untill recently and its not fool proof for sure proof.
I cant recall which artical it was either from Time or medical but it was released in ..january I want to say.
I will try and find the artical again when I got back to the skrinks office next week so I can give you the exact artical and magazine.
Science has found a chemical imbalance in SOME gay men please notice the some and not all.
but these some men that they found it in they tested further to discount other things such as ADD ect..
Now in therory the few men who had the chemical imbalance could be very well the extreamly true from birth homosexuals.
Since some people choose to be homosexual and others do not and can not there must be medical reason for it.
I dont refer to homosexual behavior in children as to what toys they play with..heck I should have been born a boy if that were the case since I liked any violent / truck.dirt pile I could find.
I think the toys bit is more sociaty conditioning us than anything.
I actually refer to attraction you felt as a child to a memeber of the other sex.
I dont know about most people but I recall being attracted to little boys well before kindergarden ....yes I was one of those little kids who played doctor and I understand now what I felt back then was a form of sexual attraction though it was very innocent attraction but the basic feeling has remained the same as I have grown up..its primal and I belive homosexual people who are born homosexual feel the same thing even in thier innocents.
I dont think I ever found a female attractive or even had a passing though of homosexual behavior myself untill I was 17 I belive..and even then it was a fleeting passing thought which I pretty much went umm yuck why did I just think that.
But some people I know dont go yuck..they wish to try and when they do they find they like it and continue..thats a active choice and not what I would deem as a homosexual....but rather a bisexual who engages primarly in homosexual behavior.
most homosexual people arnt looking for a (cure) thats the result of people sticking thier noses were it dosnt belong and haveing the audacity to say your differant from me therefor your wrong.
As for homosexual men living a shorter life span than thier heterosexual counter parts....I did not know that but I will have to look into it thank you for bringing that to my attention.
Just a small question what do you think of a person with say a XXY chromosone make up that is attracted to men?
I dont know if thats considered homosexual or not.
