Homosexuality is a behavioral choice, just like heterosexuality and bisexuality, etc. I think of us all as tabula rasa... I didn't say that HMO would 'further the species'...I said that there will always be enough 'reproduction' happening. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ As a mentally-healthy adult, the male youth's awareness of sexual capacity will be located in her, his sexual experiences will be with her, he will think of more than himself and his urges, and he will perform a socially-useful function in exchange for sexual gratification. The transition is a learning experience, hindered or helped by the environment, towards making social contact with women. Some homosexuals remain in the adolescent transition stage, and are typified by narcissistic and impulsive behaviour, but many are stuck in the earlier stages, including the anal and the oral (where the penis becomes a substitute for the maternal breast). These latter stages are characterised by childish tendencies: selfishness, tantrums, sado-masochism, brutality, etc. Many of these childish tendencies are readily observable on any modern talk-show with such guests. "Above all, the homosexual must be recognised as an individual who suffers from a psychiatric problem." "Homosexuality is indeed an illness. The homosexual is an emotionally-disturbed individual who has not acquired the normal capacity to develop satisfying heterosexual relationships." Homosexuals, along with every other kind of deviant, are those which have failed to make the transition to becoming a fully-functioning, mentally-healthy adult." It is not within everyone's power to develop completely, and a small minority of both sexes remain in a state of homosexuality." "[According to Freud] perversion in adulthood denotes the continuation into adult life of infantile sexual behaviour and inclinations, and represents a possible outcome of a failure of social conditioning to suppress perverse sexuality." "homosexual adaptation occurs when heterosexual adaptation proves too difficult.... such factors as inability to cope with the rivalry of more successful brother, or intense jealousy of father, may play a decisive role. "The one common factor in all these situations is some hindrance to relations with the opposite sex. It may be through Oedipal guilt, it may be through maladroitness or 'sissiness', but whatever the most appropriate interpretation in a particular case it amounts to this: homosexual adaptation occurs when heterosexual adaptation proves too difficult." The psychosexual growth of some homosexuals is retarded and they remain in a state positioned between masturbation and appreciation of the opposite sex --where the sexual attention has focussed on other people, but not yet of the opposite gender. One might argue that some deviations, like voyeurism LEAD in the direction of healthy development, but one cannot say that about homosexuality, as it is a dead end in sexual development --in a cul-de-sac all its own. It shares this distinction with paedophilia. And I say may God bless the sick and heal their souls. V.I.
