Homosexuality

[Answerprancer]

1) Is it nature's way of telling us to keep our population under control?
2) Nature or nurture ?
Discuss.
(Now I'll duck and run for cover!)

Nature.

[jackthehat]

1. No.
2. Nature.

[evedawn]

Oh I didn't answer no 1:

1: no nothing to do with population control (homosexuality has been around forever)
2: nature

[RATTER15]

Totally natural and certainly not restricted to humans.

[joggerjayne]

Bit of both.

I think we all have a bit inside us, and if we are in a receptive environment it is more likely to come to the surface.

[evedawn]

Yes jogger - I agree.

[Psybbo]

Totally natural, can go either way

[seadogg]

Know a girl who was badly let down by her man and ended up in a relationship with a girl friend who gave her support. Feel that an element of nurture might have been involved.

[Psybbo]

No katie, I don't think so

[sir.prize]

Yes Kate, I think so.

[Psybbo]

omg, this is 2012

[FredPuli43]

It's just God's way of selling Judy Garland records.

[joggerjayne]

I think everyone would "try it" if they weren't worried about what people would think.

[tenrec]

I wish I'd tried it. Bit late now.

[mazie]

Well I dont care what people think JJ but I dont feel inclined to try it

[askyourgran]

I've read recently that 80% of heterosexual women have fantasies about lesbianism. JJ could be right when she says that maybe more people would experiment if it wasn't for what other people would think of you.

[boxtops]

If someone has a fantasy, it doesn't mean they'd actually like to try it.

[ladybirder]

If it was nurture, which I don't think it is, wouldn't every sibling in the family of the homosexual be gay?

[Psybbo]

good point ladyb
