Well... me too. But probably for the opposite reason.

Want to have some fun, ask a man if he finds the idea of watching two woman having sex enjoyable... then ask him about watching two men have sex. You will get a much different reaction. On the other hand I have noticed most women dislike either image.

Personally I have faith, but I would not say I am religious due to the fact I do not follow any one set of church rules. I feel that God is bigger than one religion, so no one is totally right, and no one is totally wrong.

I am personally against homosexuality, but that is my bias, it has nothing to do with what a church has told me. I don't feel that a homosexual union should be giving the same title as a heterosexual union. Why? Because they are not the same thing. Legally they should be treated as the same thing with the same benefits, but given different names. And before you go off on me about it is just a word, it isn't important, remember we as a society, like to divide ourselves with labels. A gay relationship is two men, but two woman are lesbians. I'm white, my wife is asian, my kids are mixed, my neighbor is black, my other neighbor is hispanic. Does that make any of us better than any others? Nope, it just defines us.

Here is an ideal for some labels:

Man and Woman taking vows in a church: Holy Matrimony
Man and Man/Woman and Woman taking vows in a church: Holy Union
Anyone taking vows in front of a justice of peace: Civil Union
Anyone taking vows while drunk in Vegas: Just plain silly (Okay, okay, I don't really mean that)

Now afterward all three categories can say they were married or joined, or made permanent, or whatever. Just remember, with a legal union comes the downside of a legal divorce being possible.

And that's all I got to say on this, flame away if you feel the need.

Sex between a men and women is not only for procreation, at least not for a Christian married couple (a man and a woman). For example, once a Christian married couple has had children, sex is just for pleasure. If the couple can't have children, they still can enjoy each other, and this enjoyment is not all about sex.

And yes, homosexual sex, specially sex between two men, can be quite repulsive to a heterosexual man. Sex is not only an erection and ejaculation, but a mental state. This is the way I see sex between two men: I am walking through the forest on a trail by a beach, one where there are not restrooms. In this case, I carefully watch my step so I don't step on something real stinky.

I'm fine with that, and I think it might even be a totally natural response for a heterosexual man.

When I was in junior high and high school, I dated a few girls. When it came to "tongue-kissing time", I always thought it was gross, but I was trying to be "normal".

Certainly, we can all learn that if we don't like something, it's best to just not think about it, but I totally have empathy for straight guys who are repulsed by the idea of two guys together. All I have to do is think about how I felt when I was trying to be intimate with a girl. It just felt wrong and yucky.

I see that you are an unusually understanding person. I appreciate the way you have responded to my post.

The way I see it, there has to be some sort of dialog between the heterosexual and homosexual community, instead all all the accusations and trashing that take place in most Internet forums. Lots of us presume and misjudge all the time, and this make things unmanageable.

One might also ask. If the anus is only for pooping why do some people including heterosexuals insist on using it for sex???? They must enjoy a significant amount of pain.

is right! Good greif! Being a "conservative" or a Republican doen't mean that you have to be some kind of rabid Bible thumper. I , personally don't care a fart in a windstorm what goes on the bedrooms of homosexuals and it's none of the gay communities business what goes on in my "straight" bedroom. TROLL!! Where are the Mods on this stuff I wonder?

Absolutely, man! I think there is a lot of fear on both sides - hetero guys afraid to talk to homo guys for all of the reasons that we all know about, but then I think a lot of homo guys are afraid to talk to hetero guys for fear of being rejected, laughed at, insulted, physically assaulted, etc.

As you said, there is a lot of trashing that goes on in most Internet forums, but on the positive side, the anonymity of the Internet can give us a chance to understand each other by asking questions that we probably never would ask someone in person.

I dont think anybody cares about your bedroom or who you have sex with in it.
What I think is that you dislike honest opinions in contrast to your own. But you enjoy argueing about it so you feel a need to pursue more opinions you know will be different than your own. Maybe you're a masochist.

Anyway it doesn't much matter what you do, its who you do it with. Sex between opposite genders is normal. You can draw your own conclusion about the rest.
