I know what it is. RRFord is feeling that tug. He can feel the AFF suction power drawing him back into posting with us and he must resist it with all his might. The Borg is calling.

lol

I think some just listen to the talking points of the far Right. Those on the far right have nearly made it dogma that it's purely a choice. But as science discovers more and more how the homosexual brain chemistry reacts to pheromone and hormonal stimuli they are learning that in blind tests when exposed to same gender hormone, the brain becomes sexually awakened. Even if the gay person doesn't know if they are smelling male or female sweat.

On a scientific level it's fascinating. On a theological level it goes to show just how twisted this flesh is from the creator's original intention.

Here's something interesting....

Quote:
Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska University Hospital, 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden. ivanka.savic-berglund@neuro.ki.se

The testosterone derivative 4,16-androstadien-3-one (AND) and the estrogen-like steroid estra-1,3,5(10),16-tetraen-3-ol (EST) are candidate compounds for human pheromones. AND is detected primarily in male sweat, whereas EST has been found in female urine. In a previous positron emission tomography study, we found that smelling AND and EST activated regions covering sexually dimorphic nuclei of the anterior hypothalamus, and that this activation was differentiated with respect to sex and compound. In the present study, the pattern of activation induced by AND and EST was compared among homosexual men, heterosexual men, and heterosexual women. In contrast to heterosexual men, and in congruence with heterosexual women, homosexual men displayed hypothalamic activation in response to AND. Maximal activation was observed in the medial preoptic area/anterior hypothalamus, which, according to animal studies, is highly involved in sexual behavior. As opposed to putative pheromones, common odors were processed similarly in all three groups of subjects and engaged only the olfactory brain (amygdala, piriform, orbitofrontal, and insular cortex). These findings show that our brain reacts differently to the two putative pheromones compared with common odors, and suggest a link between sexual orientation and hypothalamic neuronal processes.

Not sure I totally understood that, but it seems like they are saying homosexuals react to male scents in the same way a heterosexual woman does.

well if you do anything enough times, you will subconsciously attach scents and stuff to whatever pleasure you are indulging in.

that study establishes the idea that homosexuality is a learned behavior.

learned behavior or not, science does back up the fact that homosexuals can change.
