So, would there be a legit reason to believe this?
Freud may have been a hack fraud motherfucker but this point seems to be somewhat realistic.
I'll present what I have in my case
>Animals regularly engage in homosexual activity in the wild, many (mainly bonobos) have show this is a form of social bonding and strengthening.
>This idea is easily transmittable in humans and would have been a useful bonding tool in pre-language/agrarian society.
>Ancient culture not only tolerated it, but many praised it to an extent and some isolated cultures have made it important enough to become a corner stone. Only when Abraham religions took stage has the idea that homosexuality was taboo became mainstream
>I might have misremembered this entirely, but if I am correct there was a study where "straight" participants were asked to watch gay porn and a majority became aroused despite comments saying otherwise (again, take this with a grain of salt)
>The majority of people who say they're straight have been heavily conditioned to go that way anyways. Exploration would be taboo or maybe just never thought about it that way. The majority who think of the same sex tend to think of the worst possible example instead of imagining something that could be appealing.
>the prostate, arguably one of the most sensitive sexual organ in the male is located in the rectum, not to mention the anuses sensitivity alone implies homosexual activity is somehow important.
The sexual field is one that has very little research aside from the disease aspect of it, so lets delve in a place that isn't so well know.
I will admit I'm biased (biscum) and understand this idea has no real merit
Innate Bisexuality
>inverted roles in dick sucking
gay marriage wouldn't be legal in the us right now if there was scientific evidence it was bad
And where would they find this evidence?
nowhere, because it doesn't exist
as evidenced by gay marriage being legal in the states right now
Just like how tobacco is illegal.
weed would be a better analogy since it was already illegal and is slowly becoming legal despite being a drug that probably effects people negatively in the long run
Not to say that that is what homosexuality is.
Bump
I think the "animals do it too" is exaggerated.
Some animals have homosexual relations from time to time, but most don't.
I completely agree with the cultural argument, though. The main reason homosexuality is shunned by western cultures is because of Christian propaganda against the ways of the pagan civilizations (namely Rome) that oppressed them in the past.
In a way, the oppressor became the oppressed.
There are things surrounding us, that can turn people gay or at least bi-curious
What's with this new trend of people blindly accusing great minds of being frauds? And disbelief in science in general?
Freudian psychology is very usable and influential to this day. Do you feel better shittalking him or what? Is your ego that big?
Psychoanalysis is useful, but it's been shown talking therapies, based on random made up models of the mind, are equally useful.
I don't think Freud was a fraud as he believed in his own work, but he was not scientifically right. But, like say religion, his falsehoods had utility.
>Rome
>homo
fuck off with your faggot revisionism
nice troll, 4/10, i replied
It was a jape my freind.
Fried is very influential.

[spoiler]I hope my meme reaction picture doesn't deter you, I'm genuinely curious [/spoiler]
Normally when people say "oh its a spectrum we can't diagnose you with anything and everyone is to some degree abnormal" a la gender spectrum, autism spectrum, etc, I laugh in their faces. But I do think sexuality is a spectrum.
No one is 100% straight, or 100% gay. You can be 99% straight/gay, and it will come to the same thing. Even for like 80% straight its close enough that you can say you're straight and have no homosexual urges whatsoever. Bisexual people aren't indiscriminate either, they inevitably lean one way or another. This is my personal opinion of course, not a fact, but its been backed up by experts.
Honestly, I find it really hard to believe that people are naturally either exactly 100% straight or gay or naturally exactly 50% both. I think Occam's Razor leads you to the spectrum conclusion as both the most logical and most natural. It goes a long way towards explaining why many animals engage in homosexual behavior without being homosexual, and we're also pretty much the only ones that impose a rigid one or the other on it.
Strict homosexuality is mostly a meme and is the result of modern day identity politics.
Homosexuality as it exists today was never really a thing it was just something guys did when there weren't any women around.
So yeah you're pretty much right.
Yeah, good points. I also agree with OP about society making it difficult to express bisexual urges.
yeah
>Bisexual people aren't indiscriminate either, they inevitably lean one way or another.
You have to remember sexuality is fluid and varies day to day.
When people say that they are indiscrimanate, its probably a situation where on some days they are 45% some days and 65% others
does this trigger you Veeky Forumsfag?
There are plenty of gays that have sexual relationships with women and identify as gay.
But if a bridge builder sucks one dick, he's no longer a bridge builder.
>many (mainly bonobos) have show this is a form of social bonding and strengthening.
>it's the "bonobos are like we are" meme despite having wildly different physical and social conditions
And yet studies show that the majority of gays are promiscuous and spread a lot of diseases.
Your conclusion that it's not bad because it's legal ignores the fact that you would never get the funding to research the potential negative impact due to the current social climate.
It was the closest and most notable example, I am not claiming we came from them or anything
>muh hiv
Are you implying that straight people don't get sick, all the time with sexually transmired disease?
The reason gays don't tell others anything is because for the longest time if you came out gay your soical life changed dramatically, so people hid obviously dangerous diseases to lower suspicion.
Combine that with no one really understanding sex in the first place you yes you get a long of msm's having std's
