In defence of Evolutionary Psychology

Though it might not be related to the topic discussed here i would realli want to ask straight (guys) out there a few questions to increase my knowledge in homosexuality:1) Do you think/know how good a girl feels sexually, and that makes you feel sexually good as well?2)You think that a girl is sexually attracted to you and curious (sexually) about you but a guy will never be like that and that makes u interest only in girls.Thanks for any thoughtful replies

This site attempts to keep discussions on topic. Your post might be better put in "Coffee House" as a new thread. It certainly doesn't belong here.Meanwhile, welcome to EvC. There are lots of things to discuss. The links below may offer some help.

An anti EvoPsych comment of mine in the Coffee House has generated interest in this topic, and here is one that was left hanging.

First, know I am an ardent Evolutionist. After reading "The Moral Creature," which details current evolutionary psychology, and "Are we Hardwired?" which covers behavioral genetics, I have gained the following impressions:There is definetly a genetic component to many behaviors, and the current studies we are doing to confirm this are fine. However, the actual practice of Evolutionary Psychology (finding evolutionary reasons for such behaviors) is in some cases in infantile stages. Once there is too much diversion from known social theories (such as reciprocal altruism and status hierarchy), most explanation become "just-so" stories that are hard to test.Granted, this is true for many evolutionary ideas, but evolutionary psychology seems to have the least evidence in those complex areas (such as explaining love).
