Annik,
Axiomatic truth that sexual fettishes are not inborn.
Tino,
I haven't heard that one, although I have heard both that older brothers are & are not statistically correlated with developing homosexual fettishes.
Men who have no father or one who is passively involved, along with a more dominant mother has been statisitcally correlated with homosexual fettishes, although of course, it's not always the case.
A history of sexual or physical abuse is another major factor that is seen in many who develop homosexual fettishes.
More and more men and women are experiencing "estrogen dominance" - from various evironmental sources, which could also contribute to this, although I imagine it would have to be joined with other factors. It's really complex - as we all are, especially when it comes to psychology & inter-personal relationships.
There's more research on men with homosexual fettishes than there is of women with homosexual fettishes - for one reason being that women tend to have bi-sexual tendencies & thus cannot be statistically counted as having purely homosexual fettishes.
TaraJo,
That's incorrect information - & being so, it is not only unhelpful, but misleading. Many have overcome & studies show that attempts to overcome homosexual fettishes doesn't hurt most. No doubt, you have your dysfunctional therapist here & there... but that is more of a therapy-mismatch than the therapy process itself.
The bottom line is that homosexual practices statistically prove to be harmful - anal sex is harmful, as is changing partners often, which has been shown to contract & spread AIDS & STDs in homosexuals at a disproportionatly high rate. Most people with a healthy sense of sexuality want to have sex. True sexual intercourse is between a man's sexual part and a woman's. A man's anus is not a sexual part - but is intended to be an "exit only" & using it as an entrance in anal sex involves risks of anal fissurs, bacterial infection, anal cancer & colon rupture.
Most healthy people want to engage in healthy activities & realize that homosexual feelings motivate unhealthy activities, & thus there is the desire to stop the thoughts that produce the desire. Such people deserve respect and encouragement.
