Which is why all the smart Americans are flocking to India to study at their universities and join their high tech-firms.

India is a backwards, third-world hellhole. Crowded, dirty, smelly and disgusting.

Every single gay man is gay for the same reason: Love of cock, dislike of pussy.

Heh. You are right, of course. Though most of the research is solely aimed at biochemical and genetic causes, because the rest of it is almost impossible to realistically quantify. Much depends on whether or not you are referring to underlying sexual identity, or how that identity is expressed.

This isn't necessarily true.

Research has time and time again shown that humans are pretty much equally promiscuous everywhere. In cultures that are open about it, you just see it more. And in sexually conservative, people publicly frown on it or treat it like a taboo, so it's easier to assume that it doesn't happen.

This is why AIDS tends to spread like wildfire when it hits conservative Asian countries. Sex is such a taboo that everybody assumes nobody is doing it. So then young people who do it assume that their partners haven't slept around, and they spread it further, and so on and so forth.

Probably the only societies where promiscuity really probably is somewhat lower are places like Saudi Arabia, where young women are literally locked up. But that's a farked up act to try to follow. Cure worse than the disease, etc.

mike.thesauce: people of the opinion that homosexuality is a disease really just need to go ahead and farking die already, as they are holding back the progress of the civilized world. they use these antiquated notions of god and religion to foster their hatred, all the while ignoring the mountains and mountains of contradictory evidence no matter how rational and sane the argument may in fact be. the simple fact of the matter is anyone who really, honestly believes this bile about homosexuality being a disease is a detriment to the progress to humanity as a whole and should be ridiculed and shamed into either waking the fark up, or suicide.

Using the orifice of your choice, inject your semen into another man (or vice versa) and make a baby.

99.99% of sex acts are purely done for fun, with explicit action taken to prevent the making of a baby.

According to that logic, all sex except sex done purely with the aim for trying for a baby is "abnormal".

You = fail.

Interesting hypothesis. Volunteering to be injected? For the sake of science, of course.

So ridiculous. I've blown about 10,000 loads in women and never made a baby. I take it blow jobs are abnormal? Any non-vaginal intercourse?

I see "sex is only to procreate because nature tells me so" is your benchmark. Are computers and the internet as well as all other "unnatural" things that you like not abnormalities only because everyone else likes them too?

See that would be hilarious if it was not what he asked me to do. He "cleansed" each room in our house with "holy" water and some flower petals, and I was instructed, in much the same way you phrased it, to clean it up.

What I want to know is why so many of us are obsessed with other people's sex lives?

I, quite frankly, don't give a rat's ass what your sexual interests are. You wanna suck a dick? Suck a dick. You wanna lick a pussy? Lick a pussy. You like gray meat? Hump somebody's grandma. It doesn't matter to me.

And it wouldn't affect any kind of (non-sexual) relationship I might have with you. If I am your friend, it doesn't matter whether you like men or women. The only thing that would have an effect on my opinion of you is if you're raping people or taking advantage of children.

You keep telling yourself that. That is why large sections of their population is dirt poor, and they still have a standard of living that allows them to take our jobs. If they were really equal to us we wouldn't be able to hire them for a dollar an hour. Plus they have one variant of food which is very good, but to say it's better than the US, where we basically eat the best of the planets food is just idiotic.

How is it any of your business? Or anyone elses? What is this weird notion some people have that they should have the right to scrutinize other peoples' lives and determine what rights they get to have based on the findings?

And if that's "not what you meant", please think through the logical implications of your suggestion with regards to the gay marriage debate.

An astrologer, Suresh Kumar Kaushal, has also filed a petition against the high court decision, arguing that if gay sex is legalised, "tomorrow people might seek permission for having sex with animals".

I suppose in a culture where many think people are reincarnated as animals this might be ever so slightly less ridiculous than average.
