Mark your calendars, I agree with Somerled on this one. I believe that it is a learned behavior. For whatever reason, the person chooses to sleep with someone of the same sex. After a while, it seems natural to them. Thats my opinion. |

Well, I think Kinsey said that approx 40% of all males have had a same sex "experience", since 11 guys have responded in this thread, at least 4 of us should know

Actually, I'm more amazed by people, particularily men, who are bi-sexual. Talk about the 'best of both worlds'. |

The thought of doing that kind of thing has never crossed my mind , is my response at even contemplating the act , maybe CP , or is that PC ? , is trying to tell us something .I do however have my doubts about some other fellows here though. As to any biological predisposition towards homosexuality - not that I have been all that interested in the topic - from what I have read and heard - the court is well and truely still out on that one. |

That is not what I am saying. Your example completely ignores the biological component. If we were to change things around and have society proclaim that homosexuality was the most fantastic thing in the world, then almost all of those people with the genetic marker for homosexuality would indeed become homosexual. However, if wer were to reverse things and make any inkling of homosexuality punishable by a slow, painful, death, then very few people with the genetic marker for homosexuality would be homosexuals. I think that the primary flaw in your reasoning is that those with the genetic marker for homosexuality MUST BE homosexual. That is not the case however. The nurture side of our development shows that our behaviour is not beholden to our nucleotide sequencing. For example, we are biologically conditioned to seek out all desireable mates and procreate with them. However, the nurture side of our development has made it so that it is deemed desireable to seek out one mate for life. Some people will even give up sex alltogether. Do they have a genetic marker for celibacy? Perhaps there is one that INFLUENCES that trait in a very select few, but that would not be the rule. For your own life, I would ask you when was the last time that you actively tried to encourage sexual activity from a complete stranger. If you are not doing that practically every day, you are diverging from your genetic code and showing how you have been nurtured. |

I read a different version of this article yesterday. That article stated that the doctor (Sandra... something) did not know if the reaction to the odors was learned or not. THAT would indicated learned behavior. That line was missing in the Yahoo story (I saw it in the Washington Post yesterday). |

^^^ Admiral, A line was missing? Hmmm. I almost posted about the inaccuracies of online vs. print resources the other day. That's why we *always* check the print sources when we verify for students. |

The article that I linked via Yahoo is the same article published by the Washington Post website. Actually they were both from the same AP writer. Washington Post Article... Gay Men Respond Differently to Pheromones I compared the articles and they were identical. If you come across an article disputing the contents of the original article, feel free to post it. |

^^^ I think he read the print version - not the online one, so he can't reprint it here. It is not uncommon for the online version to be shorter. |
