Prenatal Modification and sexual orientation

[Mr.Zurich92]

Could homosexuality be explained with ''prenatal modification''? Let's say certain genes during embryogenesis are active in the brain and body which causes masculinisation, so different kind of hormon levels compared between different fetus during a critical time in the whomb could be explanation why some people are homosexual?

In this light, would you be able to explain the full spectrum of sexuality this way? I mean, why are some people attracted to children or other species, even on a sexual level?

[Mr.Zurich92]

I also believe pedophilia is highly inborn and not curable by psychotherapie. So pedophile people who abused children should be isolated for the entire life. Pedophile people who didn't abuse children should look for help and should let castrate. Pedophilia may have other unknown biological causes than homosexuality. There are heterosexual pedophile men but also homosexual pedophile men!

 

Two homosexual adults do not harm anyone when they love each other.

 

Pedophila is much less common than homosexuality.

 

Pedophile may be caused by rare mutations or unknow polygenetic interaction which lead to such kind of a brain. Did you hear about those monocygotic male twins who were both pedophile? An there was a second case of two monocygotic male twins who have abused children! Very likely in pedophile brain something neurobiologically is wong.

 

 

I one asked in yahoo answer something about homosexuality and a biology teacher answered me. She wrote in here lifetime she had seceral pupils who were homosexual and came to her for help. She also believe the major cause of homosexuality could be prenatal hormonal modification.

There is an enormous amount of research that supports this notion.

I think people get carried away too much with Dawkin's Selfish Gene notions of survival of the fittest.

 

Like most of the rest of the 1500+ animals that are known to exhibit homosexual behavior, Humans are social animals. Thus it is actually about survival of the fittest society.

 

Also, Nature really hates to re-invent the wheel and sex is simply way too good of a behavioral reward system to limit it to procreation.

 

The next time a straight person tries to tell you that homosexuality is an obvious birth defect or learned deviant behavior then ask them if they feel the same way about a straight female being sexually receptive when she is not in estrus????

 

Humans are naked, sweaty, bipedal apes because the males were designed to chase furry prey under the African sun until they have a heat stroke. Modern African tribal hunters, that still live this life, often have to chase a prey animal something like TWENTY MILES.

 

Whereas at the same time, human big headed infants are completely helpless for months and the mother & child need the male to provide for them.

 

So what gets the guy to want to drag back the kill 20 miles instead of sitting down and having a big lunch?

Oh yeah, having sex pops in his head every 20 minutes.

 

One of the most cited studies regarding the prenatal origins of male homosexuality relates to the pregnant mother enduring stress.

 

So what could cause her so much stress that she would find a solution (that gains evolution's favor) while at the same time being partially contrary to her own genetic legacy?

 

Oh yeah, too many Macho males threatening the survival of the community by fighting constantly.

 

If you look a Bonobo chimps with their anything-anytime-anywhere-and-with-anyone-including-the-young-children approach to sex, you see they sue it as a social glue to solicit food gifts and to reduce stress among other reasons besides making monkeys.

 

Also the taboo of pedophilia is a western social construct and not a human instinct (as a survey of other cultures will reveal). Too, in these other cultures the adults don't feel or behave like perps and the children are not made to feel like victims, and thus, thay suffer no psychological harm.
