Homosexuality Vs. Heterosexuality

This topic came up in another thread called "What is 'Intellectual Dishonesty'?".Continuing where we left off... I value their input from the perspective that they have direct experience with the subject matter and can offer evidence to support or refute assertions made here.

Was she married at the time? If not, why not? A rape? Why was she involved with this guy?Is she now in the state that she is physically attracted to women? Is she physically not attracted to men? Has she become sexually involved with you because you are comforting and loving her.

I'm going off-line now and may not be able to respond to new posts till tomorrow.Please note that it is not my intention to attack you (Rei) or that this thread become hostile.I am interested in discussing the factors involved in your choice of lifestyle (insofar as you are comfortable divulging information), and other people's thoughts and views on the subject.

I didn't ask for that purpose.The reason I asked is that pre-marital sex is wrong (according to the bible) even if it is done by Christian heterosexual couples. Engaging in sexual relations joins two people on a level that was intended for married individuals. This is one of the reasons that a break-up is so much more devastating to an individual when there was sexual activity involved.

I would like to know what their "secret" to staying together has been?Are they happy?Are they fulfilled?Do they question their behavior?

Did you break off those relationships or did they?

In the ones that were broken off by them, were you hurt?In the ones that you broke off, were they hurt?

If you can honestly say that you weren't bothered much by those break-ups where you were not the instigator, I will concede that, in your case, my point seems to be negated. But, to the extent that continual sin hardens the heart, you may have felt progressively less hurt as you broke off those relationships.Can you say, with any degree of accuracy, that you know how much hurt the girls that you terminated the relationship with felt?

Just because two people stay together doesn't imply that they are happy, fulfilled, etc.

There are many couples that are unhappily/unfilfilled together for reasons that we don't know.If we had these couples direct input, we could examine it. Do you believe you are knowledgeable enough about these folks that you can speak for them?

I understand your points.Perhaps Rei can add her first-hand experience with the subject matter.

No.My purpose would be that we could question her to attempt to gather first-hand information.

Yes.Yes.

Actually Rei, those questions you answered were directed to Dan Carroll, although I would have asked you also.It is not my intent to lecture you, I will try to be careful how I phrase things.What are Elaine's responses to those questions?
