They are not changing their orientation, they are choosing not to pursue certain actions. If you choose to fast it does not mean that your love of pizza does not exist.

It is a good question and one that is under debate I believe. But that is not the point.

So what you are saying is you don't understand how peer-review works. The APA is not who approves or disapproves.

It is nice to see you willing to stand corrected but your correction is wrong also. The story is not saying they are trying to remove pedophilia from the DSM-5. They are correcting an error in the text of the entry that implied pedophilia is a sexual orientation. Given your position on the...

Anticipating that you were going to throw studies at me I did a little research on what peer-reviewed studies there were. Cornell University completed a recent analysis that lists all the peer-reviewed studies on this subject. Oddly the three above are not on the list. The first is not a study...

Not if the claim is that the therapy actually changes sexual orientation, in that case, they are failures.

Every quack medical treatment and fad diet that has ever existed come replete with 'success' stories. Yet with all this success, they cannot scrape together a single peer reviewable scientific study as proof. The primary reason for this is they don't do any real documentation and validation of...

So CW not getting the answer he wanted to his little scenario is off digging a new goal post to try and get it. I myself am getting bored, fun as this has been, it is getting just boring and repetitive. I'm done, for now, I leave CW with his little list of villains, numbers, and stereotypes...

If sex between a man and a man is so risky. I doubt there'd be over 300 million gay men on the planet today (using the more conservative estimates.) That wasn't the intention, I am simply pointing out that there are health consequences in all sexual acts, not just the ones you find offensive...

Not so compelling an argument when you consider your chances of vaginal cancer and other vaginal health problems also go up when you have sex. Not to mention the health consequences of pregnancy and childbirth. You would be surprised what you can learn if you go into your research with an...

Because knowledge is gained by both research and practical experience. And particularly to minimize and avoid the issues you raise below. Done right everyone involved. Oddly enough, I was the reluctant one and worried about hurting my wife which is why I researched things thoroughly before...

Actually, the story I got that from was using a CDC study done in 2008 using a national sample and going back and looking at the study directly it is closer to 40% for anal sex among heterosexuals and 90% for oral sex among heterosexuals. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr036.pdf So your...

And the same studies that produced that 8 out of 10 number showed that the 2 out of 10 heterosexuals engage in the activity. So where is the lie? And a lot engage in oral sex. Now that being said, it is not like we were sitting down listing all possible sex acts in graphic detail, we discussed...

I sort of suspected as much, the MassResistance made a big deal about it yet it only seemed to amount to three lines of discussion.

Since the goal is not to promote any sexuality and avoiding the culture of death is addressed I don't see that lying is an issue. The most important thing is that your children see you as an honest source of information that they know they can come to and talk with confidence. Otherwise, you are...

I can only address this as a personal conversation like father/son. I am not qualified to be a professional educator or counselor. One of my sons being gay though I can speak from that experience but will address this how we addressed it to both our boys. I see no reason to discuss sex...

The classic crowded theatre example is not an example of prior restraint. It is an example of how speech has consequences. Prior restraint means that speech is restricted before it made and is very limited.

Fisting, urolagnia, and coprophilia were not planned subjects of the seminar you brought up. Fisting was brought into the discussion by a student. The speakers had promised to speak honestly about sex in that session tried to address it and I will admit did so quite poorly. Both Jennings and...

Yes and I intended you to look it up in relation to censorship and the courts. I'm finding I have to be very specific in referencing things with you since you like to misrepresent anything said that doesn't match your viewpoint. WOW, how long ago did I bring up prior restraint and censorship...

And now you will proceed to do just that for the rest of post while calling me a liar. There is no lie here, the statements say the same thing and neither says I defend any specific type of speech. You are responsible for what you say in your speech. It is rather hard to punish speech that...
