I am not missapplying.

You are plotting a point for each sexual encounter, I am not, I am plot one for each distinct sexual attraction. Sexual attraction is a specturm involving almost as many variations are there are human beings. That's why I always found the classifying of people as heterosexuals and homosexuals as over generalizing.

There are men who are attracted to fat women, thin women, some have breast fetish, others have a foot fetish, some like to tie women up, some like to be tied up by women, some like tall women, some like petite women, some like women who are butch,etc, etc, etc. No one can adequately explain why we like what we like. Some of these attractions are found in the majority of men (big breasts, etc), some are found in a much smaller numbers. But they all exist. Men attracted to other men is just a subgroup of all these various attractions.

Having sexual attractions that doesn't exist in the majority of one's peers is a deviation. But a deviation that is to be expected. Life would be so boring if we all had the exact same taste.

Howdy

I am saying that it is incorrect, that it is not representative of the human experience, that everyone's sexuality is a continuum between 100% heterosexual and 100% homosexual, with a statistical norm of some percent attraction to the same sex and some percent of one's sexual urges in attraction to the opposite sex.

That's absolute drivel.

People are not, say, sixty percent heterosexual and forty percent homosexual in orientation, there are people with a normal sexual orientation and there are people with problems.

That is not to say people who are overwhelmingly desirous of sexual relations with rutabegas should be scorned and persecuted, it is just that society should not reshape its norms, lifeways, and taboos to be reflective of a condition which is fictitious.

Redefining deviancy into merely a different location on a single continuum of sexuality would produce a society much more user friendly to deviants, but such a society would also suffer lower life expectancy, so one wonders whose interests would be served by reshaping society to be reflective of a bogus model of human sexuality.

Hmmmm?
