You're assuming anal sex stimulates the prostate. That's not necessarily always the case.<br /><br />2. More to the point, it's high ejaculation frequency that is typically said to be lower the risk of prostate cancer. Not anal sex in and of itself. <br /><br />"If you partner has a normal sized penis it wont hurt you but you will only enjoy it as the male G-spot is in the anus."<br /><br />1. It doesn't require anal sex to stimulate the prostate. Men can stimulate their prostate simply by sticking their finger in their rectum and applying pressure. There are even some men who (very weirdly and creepily) enjoy a prostate exam from a physician.<br /><br />2. The idea that the prostate is the male G-spot is an idea that's taken a life of its own. It's endlessly repeated by people. It's even backed by some medical experts who have published papers on it. It's like the idea that there are extraterrestrial intelligent lifeforms (aliens) visiting our planet which many people assume is true including many expert scientists. Not to mention, like SETI, it has become profitable to undertake research in it, perform surgeries on it, etc. Likewise, the male G-spot is like the female G-spot. Some women are brought to orgasm by anterior vaginal stimulation, while other women are not. Same with the supposed male G-spot.<br /><br />"If god doesn´t like men to be gay why is it so arousing for males to have anal sex? (relax it´s a joke)."<br /><br />A better question is what <i>doesn't</i> arouse men? Men are aroused by tons of different things, from feet to feces.Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142879704651632453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-21476931115190995262019-06-23T07:37:31.707-04:002019-06-23T07:37:31.707-04:00"Homosexuality is not a choice. It´s only a c..."Homosexuality is not a choice. It´s only a choice if you are bisexual. Unlike you said earlier there is broad agreement that your sexual orientation may it be gay or straight is NOT a choice (unless your bisexual). No one really knows though if it´s epigenetic, genetic or due to socialization. We only have fractions of answers. But we do know for certain that it´s not a choice."<br /><br />You're now distancing yourself from your original claim: "There is enough evidence that shows it’s epigenetic." You now agree with what I said that it's not solely or primarily about epigenetics. That there are a lot of factors involved.<br /><br />"What about intersex people? People that are born with male and female genitalia? Can they have sex in God´s eye or is it always a „damnable sin“?"<br /><br />1. I think a better way to classify this group of people is to say there's incongruence between their biological sex or gonadal sex (testes vs. ovaries, correspnds with Y chromosome) and phenotypic sex or external genitalia. This includes intersex people.<br /><br />2. The answer to your question depends which person you have in mind. Someone with Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, Kallmann syndrome, double Y males, ovotesticular disorder, placental aromatase deficiency, androgen insensitivity syndrome, 5α-reductase deficiency, etc.<br /><br />"There is no evidence that anal sex can cause any harm IF you don´t take it to the extreme."<br /><br />1. The evidence I cited was based on averages. Not extremes. For example, it's a fact that the rectal wall is quite thin. It's a fact that on average anal sex causes microscopic ulcerations in the rectal wall. It's a fact that HIV from semen can be transmitted to the other person via these ulcerations. It's a fact that the risk of contracting HIV increases with co-infection of other sexually transmitted infections or diseases. <br /><br />2. To be fair, it's possible the "average" anal sex is practiced "in the extreme". In other words, you can say anal sex is fine if it's not done in the extreme, but in practice it's possible the "average" person takes anal sex to the extreme.<br /><br />"In fact there is even a study that has proven that gay men are less likely to get prostate cancer (which is the most common cancer among men)."<br /><br />1. You don't cite your source. However, a single study doesn't necessarily mean anything. There are a lot of poorly done studies (e.g. poor methodology, small sample size, various biases). <br /><br />2. I presume by "most common" you're referring to incidence. If so, prostate cancer is the cancer with the highest incidence among men if you mean "solid" cancers (26%). However, is prostate cancer the cancer with the highest incidence among men in general - if we include "liquid" (hematological) cancers, if we include skin cancers? Maybe, maybe not.Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142879704651632453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-62957872448501426842019-06-23T07:37:09.384-04:002019-06-23T07:37:09.384-04:00Here are my further replies to the same person on ...Here are my further replies to the same person on Facebook:<br /><br />"Overall I don´t disagree with most of your views as I think they are rooted in reality. Nevertheless you have a tendency to generalize a little bit to much. First of all to clarify: I´m personally not against conversion therapy but it should be the wish of the person concerning to change and NOT because they are surrounded by people that follow some religious ideology. These therapies only work if the person concerning feels the inner urge to change. No one should be talked into that. It´s a personal decision. Just like believing in a christian hell or heaven."<br /><br />1. I never brought up conversion therapy. I never brought up whether homosexuality is a choice. All I did was respond to your claim about homosexuality and epigenetics (which you now concede per your comments below).<br /><br />2. However, the fact that you agree conversion therapy works if homosexuals are willing to change, and the fact that you later say (below) that it's possible homosexuality is "due to socialization", suggests homosexual orientation in some cases might be a choice or at least something like an addiction as Steve points out, even though you later claim "Homosexuality is not a choice".<br /><br />"I also don´t like gays that make their sexuality their center of their being. Nevertheless I believe this to be a minority. Also you have to beginn to grasp that it´s also straight people that deny homosexuals their humanity by reducing them on their sexual orientation only. I´m heathen. I belong to no religion."<br /><br />1. Biblical Christianity doesn't treat people as if what they are is primarily or solely their sexual orientation. <br /><br />2. You mention you're a "heathen". I presume you mean contemporary Germanic paganism or neo-paganism. In any case, heathenism is polytheistic and animistic. Christianity has a far nobler view of human beings and their place in the universe than does heathenism.<br /><br />"I agree also that our world has become way too sexualized. It´s mostly due to capitalism – sex has been capitalized so our bodies are somehow forced into the consumption of sex/porn to keep a whole billion dollar industry alive. I don´t condone that all. Sex is massively overrated. Which leads to depression, addictions etc."<br /><br />1. Glad we agree. <br /><br />2. I don't see how porn is "mostly due to capitalism". Porn has existed across the ages and across different cultures. For example, the Chinese still use porn in China despite the fact that it's illegal in China and punishable by imprisonment. <br /><br />3. At best, you might say the porn industry has been able to become rich thanks to capitalism. However, capitalism has enriched many people and industries. In this respect, capitalism is wildly successful in its goal: making people richer than they used to be and therefore lifting them up economically and arguably socially too. <br /><br />4. Of course, I hasten to add many people have made themselves rich in immoral pursuits. Pornography is one example, but there are many others. However, that's not the fault of capitalism, but that's the fault of immoral people.<br /><br />5. Besides, the main alternative to capitalism is socialism or communism, but these come with their own set of problems. Arguably worse problems. The means of production, distribution, and exchange would be owned and/or strictly regulated by society or the community as a whole. In practice, that typically means the government is the final authority which owns and/or regulates the means of production, distribution, and exchange of goods.Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142879704651632453noreply@blogger.com
