No? I didn't say everyone is supposed to do it, but that some people don't do it ever.

A whole lot of people I know say something like this: Homosexuality? That's a thing that "other people" do. They'd never consider seriously that they might be attracted to someone of the same gender, even if it's to think about it and to say no. That would never happen for them. They've never once seriously entertained the possibility even to reject it.

The way I see it, for a certain conclusion to be reached, either way, thought actually has to be given instead of dismissed as impossible to begin with and never considered.

I'm sure you've heard the stories where married couples break up because one of the two realizes too late that they aren't sexually attracted to the other in the pair? What do you think happened in those situations?

[(Anonymous)]

Whenever you hear about those couples it is generally one person who always knew but was repressed.

[(Anonymous)]

Really?

Most of the stories I've read was "suspected but repressed because of culture and circumstances and didn't allow themselves to give it serious thought. Only realized afterward, too late."

After all, why would they question? They're doing what everybody tells them they're supposed to be doing, and if the woman doesn't like having sex with the man but everyone tells her she'll learn to like it and that women naturally have lower sex drives and it's a normal thing...

[(Anonymous)]

You're reaching and trying too hard. The people I've known all knew.

[(Anonymous)]

Ahaha, and the people you know represent all of humanity regardless of culture or background! Unfortunately you can't argue that, as it makes no sense.

The discussion is unbalanced here, I'll admit. You can say all the people you ever knew totally knew beforehand, and it might be true. I'm not saying you're lying! But all I have to do is say that you can't prove that this is true of all people off of such a small sample size, and say that I've known some who didn't, in order to argue that "some" people don't know, and that therefore, given nothing else to go on, the possibility is there. Which is what I've been saying all along.

I'm not saying everybody doesn't know. That'd be silly. But I hope you're not saying that all people everywhere know, because that would also be silly!

Firstly - At what point did I say that the subset of humanity that I know represented all of humanity? No, really, highlight that phrase for me.

Secondly - If you are the person above me and the person two above that, you seem to assume that *everyone* needs to have some soul-searching journey or that Evil Society Overlords are programming their sexuality into them. It's not like that. Some people just know that they are X, they are not Y, and no, there's no possibility of being Y for them.

YOU may have needed to question yourself. OTHER PEOPLE may just know what they want in a sexual partner, no reflection needed/wanted. We aren't all reflections of the Sexually Confused Journey.

"I'm sure you've heard the stories where married couples break up because one of the two realizes too late that they aren't sexually attracted to the other in the pair?"

Which ... does not automatically mean that they married the wrong gender: it could also mean that they married the wrong person.

"I'm sure you've heard the stories where married couples break up because one of the two realizes too late that they aren't sexually attracted to the other in the pair because they are attracted to their own gender?"

I thought the last eight words were heavily enough implied considering the context of the conversation, but I guess not. There, now it's clarified!

Were you refuting or denying what was intended to be said, or just pointing that out?

[(Anonymous)]

You and your prosaic explanations for things that happen every day!
