....heterosexuality has not always “just been there.” And there’s no reason to imagine it will always be....
.....rebuttal to the claim that heterosexuality was invented usually involves an appeal to reproduction: it seems obvious that different-genital intercourse has existed for as long as humans have been around – indeed, we wouldn’t have survived this long without it. But this rebuttal assumes that heterosexuality is the same thing as reproductive intercourse. It isn’t. “Sex has no history,” writes queer theorist David Halperin at the University of Michigan, because it’s “grounded in the functioning of the body.” Sexuality, on the other hand, precisely because it’s a “cultural production,” does have a history. In other words, while sex is something that appears hardwired...

I wonder how the first person was birthed, or for that matter, the first animal or organism. Two males mating??
Sex is for procreation. Two people of the same sex cannot procreate. Story over.
Interesting how liberals are all about things scientific except when it goes against their dogma.
Liberals hate biology, so they try to redefine words or invent new ones.
I actually don’t believe in “heterosexuality,” as a counterpart to homosexuality. Acknowledging it’s existence at least opens the door to homosexuality as being an “alternative.”
There is simply sexuality according to design, and sexuality against design.
I’m guessing the author is a faggot trying to justify his perversion and feel good about sodomizing other men.
Me thinks they think too much.
I would state it as, “There is simply sexual behavior according to design and sexual behavior against design.”
This topic is really more about philosophy than it is about science.
I believe the Bible terms it “natural use”.
There is sex... There is perversion. They aren’t equals.
If only for the tiny, mere fact of their EXISTENCE, every homosexual should “Thank a Heterosexual Today!”®
Me thinks they don’t think at all.
Kind of like a bacteria.
Here is all I need to know from the Center of Disease Control — If it was SO natural then why does this occur:
HIV and AIDS Diagnosed:
•Gay and bisexual men accounted for 83% (29,418) of the estimated new HIV diagnoses among all males aged 13 and older and 67% of the total estimated new diagnoses in the United States.
•Gay and bisexual men aged 13 to 24 accounted for an estimated 92% of new HIV diagnoses among all men in their age group and 27% of new diagnoses among all gay and bisexual men.
•Gay and bisexual men accounted for an estimated 54% (11,277) of people diagnosed with AIDS. Of those men, 39% were African American, 32% were white, and 24% were Hispanic/Latino.
Is this or this not nature’s way of applying “natural law” to restore order?
Seriously, mother nature has a way of restoring order when nature itself is out of balance — When man’s instincts run amok.
I’m not even talking about the law of man...This is all natural law.
Prior to 1868, there were no heterosexuals,” writes Blank. Neither were there homosexuals. It hadn’t yet occurred to humans that they might be “differentiated from one another by the kinds of love or sexual desire they experienced.” Sexual behaviours, of course, were identified and catalogued, and often times, forbidden. But the emphasis was always on the act, not the agent.
Thats simply revisionist bullsh-t.
In fact most of the article is rife with such garbage.
thanks for posting it!
Nature does NOT ‘invent.’ Nature is part of a grand plan, and that plan really doesn’t include a prevalence of deviancy becoming the norm under any circumstances. If anything this dilemma is a test of convictions for the faithful.
Good point and clarification, but I intended “sexuality” to include the behavior that springs from it.
Have you ever heard of a Dumb-F**K, well this is it. Without medicine for AIDs and HIV these people would die off. Lead poison is credited with brining down the Greeks and maybe too the Romans, but their “self indulgences” and perversions “lead” to their demise. Pleasure replaced hard work.
What about buggerers, pederasts, and uranians?
“But this rebuttal assumes that heterosexuality is the same thing as reproductive intercourse. It isn’t.”
The principles of natural selection, stable societies and long established religions all strongly favor same-sex attraction, and disfavor any other kind. Apparently the author puts his biases above science, tradition and faith.
Sure. “Homosexuality” as a practice, by whatever name, goes all the way back to original sin, or at least soon after the expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
