Nope in my past from my gay guy friends, or my lesbian friends, i have heard enough to last a lifetime. And no i really don't think about it that much.

What i do think about is a hot hot night with my husband, and what will turn him on true.

For a lot of people though, i can see how that would cross some people's minds, really i can.

Does not mean one is going to act upon it.

I try to come up with new ways and new hot lingerie to make sex, a bit more fun, i think about my sex really. And new ways to entice hubby, after a long hard day of work.

I don't care who is doing what in the privacy of their own homes, straight or gay, why should i. If someone is that consumed about gay sex, watch some gay porn, and then get over it.

I used to think that- now I look at gays in a different light- not so much what they do sexually but the culture itself- I wonder what their values are. I wonder if they are as honorable as straights- then I took a good look at straights- seems that everyone has little honor these days. As for their sex acts- I saw this raving couple buying condoms - they looked drugged and nasty- unsavory characters...but like I said if you do not fixate on gays and disapproving of them- open your mind. You will find that most people are creepy...it seems that the whole world has gone down the drain....but- there are some that are nice- gay and straight...Long as folks don't treat their culture like a religion and force their views on me...then that is good.

I don't believe today we can say, as honorable as straights. So many people for whatever reason, seem to have gone off the deep deep end. I know straight people and gay people who are very honorable people who have values.

I don't believe someone should be defined by the sex they like, but by the whole being that they are, if they truly have a good essence, from within, that is good enough for me.

I don't look at race, or color, of if someone is straight or gay, i look beyond all that, then you come to know the real person. You may stop yourself from having a great relationship, friendship with a person, if your are judging by certain criteria.

Look at the tragedy that unfolded today, and how sad this is. Parents taking their own babies, and children lives. I believe people do need to open their minds and open their hearts, and be opened to try and understand that not all people are alike.

You are sick.

That sounds like the vile practice of 'corrective rape' of lesbians by gangs of men in Africa.

Gay people have sex? I thought they just threw parades, listened to techno, got manicures, and watched lifetime specials.

I learn something new everyday.

How do you explain gay or lesbian people who are virgins or celebate?

It appears to be the way the fetal brain developed in the uterus that makes the difference:


Brain scans have provided the most compelling evidence yet that being gay or straight is a biologically fixed trait.

The scans reveal that in gay people, key structures of the brain governing emotion, mood, anxiety and aggressiveness resemble those in straight people of the opposite sex.

"This is the most robust measure so far of cerebral differences between homosexual and heterosexual subjects," she says.
Previous studies have also shown differences inbrain architecture and activity between gay and straight people, but most relied on people's responses to sexuality driven cues that could have been learned, such as rating the attractiveness of male or female faces.

Brain symmetry
To get round this, Savic and her colleague, Per Lindström, chose to measure brain parameters
likely to have been fixed at birth.

"That was the whole point of the study, to show parameters that differ, but which couldn't be altered by learning or cognitive processes," says Savic.
"This study demonstrates that homosexuals of both sexes show strong cross-sex shifts in brain symmetry," says Qazi Rahman, a leading researcher on sexual orientation at Queen Mary college, University of London, UK.

"The connectivity differences reported in the amygdala are striking."
"Paradoxically, it's more informative to look at things that have no direct connection with sexual orientation, and that's where this study scores," says Simon LeVay, a prominent US author who in 1991 reported finding differences(pdf) in a part of the brain called
the hypothalamus between straight and gay men.

The reality is that if you judge gays by what kind of sex YOU THINK they're having you clearly have an overactive imagination, and perhaps a bit of curiosity!
It's Step 2 in:

How To Write An Anti-Gay Tract In 15 Easy Steps

Step 2: Talk about sex. A lot. Most general-topic anti-gay tracts begin with a detailed description of sexual practices. There’s a good reason for that: no one looks good when their entire life is reduced to one-dimensional statistical descriptions of sexual practices.

Talking about sex can be rather gross, but don’t let that stop you. In fact, that’s the whole point. You want your audience to share your revulsion of gays and lesbians, and this is the easiest way to do it. Talk about sex as though it were the only thing that matters to gays and lesbians. Not love, not relationships, not commitment, not families – just sex.

To reinforce this point, anti-gay writers make extensive use of the term “homosexual” throughout their tracts. By constantly emphasizing “homosexual” instead of using the terms “gay” or “lesbian”, the sexual component of gays and lesbians are emphasized above all other aspects of their lives. And the more you portray gays and lesbians as sex-obsessed homosexuals, maybe your readers won’t notice the irony of your tract being obsessed with the sex lives of supposedly “sex-obsessed” people.

Yes, because that's how they have chosen to define themselves.
This is so ridiculous. All they want to define themselves according to is the full spectrum of who they are, which includes their sexual orientation.

Not for me.
I think of the names and faces of my gay/lesbian friends, not of their bedroom activities.
