I don't know. Narcissism is love of self; I think it makes sense, or at least interjects an interesting line of thought. Sin is narcissistic in general, though. (self-serving) It's interesting in the sense that it examines the psychosis behind homosexuality, rather than simply the actions. We aren't animals, you know; our behavior isn't simply instinctive. We have reasoning power, logic and the ability to choose. How a person chooses reveals more than just their "animal attractions."
They're only guilty of incest if they actually have sex with their mothers, I suppose. I don't think I get your point on this one.....

My point is that if someone is attracted to someone else because they resemble themselves (kind of confusing, but you know what I mean) then I may understand the narcissism comment.
But to say that a man is attracted to another man because he has the same anatomy has absolutely nothing to do with narcissism, in my mind.
Here's one of the definitions of narcissism:
erotic gratification derived from admiration of one's own physical or mental attributes, being a normal condition at the infantile level of personality development.
Now, there are many other men out there who share the same anatomical characteristics as me, but they are nothing like me. There are women who do NOT share the same characteristics, but I identify with them completely, because of their nature and actions, mindsets, etc. THAT would be more like narcissim to me.
True narcissism would require that one find sexual gratification without the assistance of ANY other partner, male or female.
And my comment about incest has to do with being drawn sexually to someone who reminds one of one's mother.....maybe not necessarily apropos to this conversation.
