Revulsion to same sex coupling

Revulsion

Many people will shudder at the thought of having intimacy with someone they consider to be of the same sex as them. They find it more abhorrent than having sex with someone aged or disfigured or jolly unattractive. The written and unwritten guidelines of acceptable sexual behaviour runs deep. A masculine individual will go out with someone adorably flat chested so long as there is assurance about them having distinct genitalia. We can look at someone and say that we find them attractive, but as soon as we find out that we are wrong in what gender we thought they were, we recoil in horror. The distaste is quite heartfelt.

Most people will opt for someone of their favoured type. We fall in love with someone. A person that gels. It is a somebody that suits you. Under no account does it suggest that we change our behaviour, popularise it or even promote trying things with different sorts. Being unable to truly define what genders are enables us to rethink how we treat people that form unions that some frown upon. The world will not come to an end because some people are in iso-sexual relationships. There will always be enough men and women living together having children for mankind to continue.

Some of us have a role in procreation and some do not. We are reluctant to accept that the only requirement to maintain the population is to have an adequate number of people conceiving. Everyone else makes their own contribution to the economy and peace of a nation. Observe a field full of rabbits that are humping one another day and night. They are all at it irrespective of what genitalia they each have. Of the 40 that can get pregnant 40 will get pregnant. Nature has no intentions only consequences.

Anal sex is often regarded as indecent. This can be the principal reason why people condemn same sex unions. Yet a surprisingly high number of couples have tried it, many more than we might imagine: Couples that we consider to be straight, male-female unions. Notwithstanding a significant proportion of iso-sexual lovers form long-term intimate relationships without ever penetrating the other. Most are more than content doing other things. It is not a fear of the potential health risks, but simply because they have no wish to do so. Thus, to criticise the pairing on the basis that we find that aspect repugnant is unfair if many never ever bugger one another.

The argument goes that buggery is indecent primarily because it is inserting into an area that the body has set aside for waste disposal. Unhygienic it may be, but the penis also discharges buckets of waste urine daily. Spreading food on a body and licking it off is not too hygienic either. There are countless dangers in all kinds of sexual activity and there are countless dangers in many other activities non-sexual in nature. It is pertinent to warn others if you know someone has a disease, but risks we take in life are our own business when nobody else is liable to be hurt. I repeat, not all homosexuals bugger one another, not all heterosexuals bugger one another. Some do, some do not. Vast numbers of homosexuals find it repellent.

At your first day in your new job, you are introduced to your teammates. “This is Hilda the heterosexual.” “Over there we have Paul the polite one who likes tickling and face sitting.” “Sarah on your left once tried the doggy position but prefers to be on top most of the time.” “Justine is a part time dominatrix with her own fully kitted out dungeon.” In reality, we keep our own sexual forays close to our chests and don’t talk much about other people’s unless it’s iso-sexual.

Oral sex in all manner of positions is practiced between a whole range of deviants. It is hard to argue that gender is important in this instance. It makes no odds what you have down below when kissing or caressing or at what angle or what posture. Sex for the sake of sexual gratification is commonplace. Sex during pregnancy. Sex on one's own. Sex for fun. Sex for thrills. Sex even in the hope of replicating. Maybe we could limit sex to once a month during ovulation and never again after or when we have no motive of making babies. Is it a sin, is it immoral for couples who know that they are infertile to have sex with each other? There have been many a long-lasting romance where neither saw one another naked. It is hard to imagine not seeing your partner in their birthday suit. Just making do with some fumbling under the blankets. Many would discreetly lift what was necessary and in a few fleeting moments the task was done. How different, different times are.

Some have said, “If only they tried harder, with those of the opposite sex, they would find that they like it.” One could argue that if one tried bestiality they might like that too if they tried it for long enough. Most are quite sure that having intercourse with a goat is not for them without needing to go to a farm and give it a go. Whilst discovery is key to finding the right person, one finds the general type that they are attracted to at an early age and that doesn’t fundamentally change.

The most foolish of fools think that someone can choose or change their sexuality. We home in on what appeals to us the most as we reach our teens. Some have suggested that people can be converted, turned straight, by all kinds of therapies. They think it is akin to some kind of addiction that can be fixed. Sadly, your preferences are hardwired into you. Not exactly sad, as to you it all seems perfectly natural.
