REALITY, SEXUALITY AND SEX
Sexuality deals with the two genders of male and female. If you’re a man your maleness is your animus and if you’re female your femaleness is your anima. We all have some of both in us, in varying degrees, like testosterone and estrogen. It is our relationship with our nurturers in the formative years which affects our particular balance of anima and animus. Besides having different sexual organs, both sexes create chemicals in their bodies that are in balance to either maintain the femaleness or the maleness of the personality – or does it? Men are said to be more in tune with their reason while women are more prone to their intuitive side. In order to see reality clearly we need both. Getting to this middle ground is the problem for both sexes. From their respective positions, neither sees reality clearly without belief examination.
Sex is energy that moves toward creation whether we express it physically or use it to explore within. We tend to look at life from the extremes but most of us live in the middle ground. You have liberals and conservatives with the majority being moderate. Hot and cold with the majority liking warm; rich and poor with the majority in the middle class; short and tall with the majority falling in between. Well we have heterosexuality (opposite sex attraction) and homosexuality (same sex attraction) as the extremes with the middle ground being…bi-sexuality? Society tends to frown on homosexuality, and negates that bi-sexuality even exists. The culture says bi-sexuals are confused. Wouldn’t the individual be a better judge of that? There are some who believe the increase in homosexuality is due to a genetic need to keep mankind from over populating.
When you look at human sexual potential from a probability standpoint, four positions are possible: abstinence ( including self pleasuring), heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality. All are normal modes of human sexual behavior. Unfortunately, those of us who are insecure about our own sexuality are fearful of bisexuality and homosexuality. Many heterosexuals see the two as abnormal for religious and social reasons, that boil down to silly arguments like, `God created Adam and Eve; not Adam and Steve’ or the Bible says it isn’t right. Well, the Bible also says, JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED’ but that doesn’t stop the self righteous from throwing stones. In Matthew 19;12, Jesus says, FOR THERE ARE DIFFERENT REASONS WHY MEN CANNOT MARRY; SOME, BECAUSE THEY WERE BORN THAT WAY; OTHERS, BECAUSE MEN MAKE THEM THAT WAY; AND OTHERS DO NOT MARRY FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
Remember marriage is by permission and not a Commandment.
Perhaps an honest study of human sexuality may reveal bi-sexuality as the norm with heterosexuality and homosexuality as the extremes. Look how easily many young women kiss and fondle each other with little fear of being labeled or fear of their sexuality. When it comes to sexual choices, Abstinence is the only choice of the four.
One thing I find strange is how homosexuals, who have had to endure bigotry and persecution for this same sex affinity and often state that homosexuality is no more a choice than heterosexuality, but then will deny bi-sexuals their feelings.
One’s sexuality has to be treated in the same manner as our belief system – it’s based on your experiences and not what society or the culture tells you.
QUESTION EVERYTHING! THAT'S WHERE THE TRUTH RESIDES.
THE CAPT.
Well, I don't know if this would be an educated point of view, but on my
own, I've determined that love is, as long as it doesn't hurt those
involved. And since sex often plays a part in love, if someone loves
someone, and it's shared, who's to say they are wrong in celebrating their
love, not me! I love my wife and am grateful to have her in my life, it's
not all happiness & joy, but I wish the overall feeling on anyone. I
honestly don't care what someone's personal taste is, if love is there, who
am I to judge!
I think that everyone is or has the potential to be bi-sexual. I don't
really believe anyone is exclusively one or the other. While I call myself
hetero and have no conscious desire to be with another female, I still find
the female anatomy sexually appealing.
Redheadgirl: I agree with you about everyone's potential for bi-sexuality.
When you think about transvestites, transgender, trans-sexual, or men who
will wear women's underwear under their suits or guys like Rudy Guiliani
who like to wear women's clothes at special public appearances; There is a
whole assortment of degrees of bisexuality.
My opinion, Capt, take it or leave it. :)
Lily Serene: Disagree with the assumption that homosexuality and
bi-sexuality are deviant behaviors. The religious drama with respect to
sex and sin has screwed up a number of minds. Sins are the beliefs and
actions we take that go against our Spiritual nature. Not knowing your
Spiritual identity is the sin; even from the standpoint of the Biblical
Christ. THIS was how Christ was saving you from your sins. Remember, not
long ago people got married at 14 years of age, when life spans were a lot
shorter. We're they pedophiles?
We can agree to disagree, Capt. I believe there is an explicit standard. I
think you are saying that the standard is issued on an individual basis.
Lily Serene: In our culture, there is no reason for a 30 year old man to be
with a teen. This example is happening as we write. Even for those parents
that would allow for this to happen know that this is a matter of control
on the part of the male.
