yes they absolutely do its a proven fact... not but a few decades ago did people think that only gay males contracted sexually transmitted diseases.... cuz well u know... dont listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.... the type of sex that gay males have (i really hope you know what kind) cause many abrasions where a virus can easily spread.... gay males are also know for having many partners because they know they can never have children like that and feel no bond towards the person..... try going on an aids/HIV website, that would probably give a lot and i mean a lot of facts about STDs ...and just something to think about if a man and a man can't have a child, and a woman and a woman can't have a child... how is that right? but whatever.. everyone is enititled to their own opinion.

My first reaction to this would be to ask whether or not straight people give the same sex a chance first.  I decided I liked women when I hit puberty and did not give the same sex a chance, and I doubt most other straight men did either.  (I will not speak for women.)\n\nThe fact is that sexual attraction tends to come naturally.  It is not an acquired taste like a good scotch.  Recent studies based on the work of JT Manning and other researchers have examined the relationship between prenatal testosterone and homosexuality and found a very strong positive correlation.  \n\nGay men on average seem to have higher prenatal testosterone levels than straight men on average.  (You read that correctly, the masculine hormone makes guys feminine.)  This is ceratinly not the only factor in predicting homosexuality, but it does show a predisposition to homosexuality long before someone can give either sex a chance.\n\nMore importantly, attempts to convert somone to heterosexuality have not shown much promise.  In the cases that are claimed as successes, there are numerous criticisms.  e.g The person was not gay in the first place or was bisexual.\n\nThat being said, many researchers are unwilling to study adolescent homosexuals, because they do not consider someone fully homosexual until their post-adolescnet years.  It appears that enough people change their mind about sexual orientation in adolescence to make many studies on non post-adolescent populations less than conclusive.

Cookie, I know what your talking about. And I believe that the coming out experience for some people are much different than for others.  Perhaps for some it was hard for them to be accepted at home, so they are out in public. Some actually hid for so many years that coming out is like a rebirth to them and their excited and it's like a new life for them. They can finally be free and not enslaved by being closeted any longer.  I don't think that some homosexuals really care who we think they have sex with. They know that straight people have questions and some are very helpful in answering our questions. Yes I am straight. But I have a gay son.  And I also have a straight son, that equals two great kids! What I can tell you is that it is a process that a family goes through. There are different stages that a gay person and their family goes through. And this is evident in their behavior when they become relaxed and can be themselves. I hope this helped abit. I am a PFLAG Mom. Parents Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. If you had more questions you can email PFLAG and they will be more than happy to answer your question.

Do you attracted to people of the same sex?  If so, you are probably gay.

Statistically, yes. But at the same time, no. Let me explain ...\n\nIt depends on your personality and choices. I am gay and not promiscuous at all, I only do committed relationships. On the other hand I know a bunch of gay guys who have HIV and have slept around or had sexual encounters with over 50 or 100 people and they are only 19 or 20 years old!\n\nI see the most promiscuity happen when people get over caught up in the mainstream gay culture. People should just be themselves.  A lot of gay activist groups promote promiscuity, dressing a certin way, and drugs being normal as a part of the way gays are "suppose to act". The culture does it in gay pride parades where people have mini orgies on the streets and even the gay media (movies, TV shows, and magazines make it seem normal and ok to do drugs. Dress in a gay identifying way. They will show an actor no-chelantly doing drugs and having fun with their friends or one office member having sex with the other office member just minutes after meeting each other on the show Queer as Folk. They barely ever show the devastating effects of such behavior). \n\nPeople who get caught up in that are more likely to think it is ok or even normal to sleep with just anyone because it feels good or they are more likely to use drugs because it's socially accepted in the mainstream gay community.  But we shouldn't take mind altering drugs and we should treat sex as something special and not just to be done with anyone who walks across your path.  If we have stress in our lives, we need to deal with it in a way that promotes solving problems, not just hiding them.  And being lonely, wanting to be accepted, and pleasure are NOT reasons to have sex. If we think they are, we have missed the point of sex all together.\n\nI'm not saying all gay groups have negative effects.  Family oriented gay groups or groups that fight for gay rights are great groups because they stand up against injustice and they provide a place gay people can go to fell comfortable and network with open minded individuals.\n\nI think that once gay people are more accepted in our society, the gay culture will settle down. Discrimination causes a lot of gay people to seek an identity in the mainstream gay community and segregate from the mainstream prejudicial society.\n\nDon't let anyone make you feel bad for asking your question.  You had the right to pose the question. I believe that you really wanted to know ... not that you were suggesting anything either way.\n\nSo someone who is gay need not be promiscuous. It depends upon the philosophy they adopt.

1st off....There is NOTHING wrong with gay or lesbian people! \n\n I think men just simply are more attracted to two women than two men therefore they accept it more.

Yes, but gay people feel that way about men.  Gay men form about 10% of the male population.  It is part nature and nuture.  \n\nLet the gays be gays and you can keep all the gorgeous women to yourself.

All sorts.  More homosexual than other.

I think it varies, because not all people are as sexual as others

Not always. I think the reason alot of gay guys hang around women because they are generally more accepted by women. Men tend to be more homophobic.

If you mean do people who are gay cause AIDS then the answer is no. \n\nAIDS affects all races, all sexes (female and male), and all sexual preferences (gay, straight, bi). \n\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) originally classified AIDS as GRID which stood for Gay Related Immune Disease. However, after determining that AIDS is not isolated to homosexual people the name was changed to the neutral AIDS.

Haha, no, but there is a Kinsey scale of sexuality that each person can be placed on to show his or her apparent attraction to the opposite or same sex.

I agree it may be easier in the sense of dominate and passive issues that men and women face. In as much; it can be equally challenging if not more worse because of cultural limitations. Gays generally don't show openly affection to each others as their counterparts. Gays, are not allowed to marry; which in itself can cause all sorts of family problems if the other becomes sick. Gays are not allowed as much as straights in regards to health benefits and insurance. Gays aren't afforded the same courtesy that heterosexual get on a daily bases. These facts commingled with the challenge people have in general relationships can make being in a gay relationship very hard.

As a general rule...men have a more animalistic approach to sex.  It doesn't men can't be passionate, be in love, etc, etc...it just means that a lot of guys view sex as simply getting off.  If you put a bunch of straight guys in a situation where no women are involved for an extended period of time, (like a navy submarine) there is a very good chance that some sex is gonna be happening.  Not all of em...but guys who are comfortable in their straigthood might be ok with a quickie from another guy....some other guys might realize their deep-seeded homosexual desires that have been repressed.  All depends on the person.  \n\nBottom line is...guys just wanna get off...if there isn't any women around...and the situation is right...a good percentage of straight guys might have a homosexual experience and not be necessarily gay.

I am unaware of a usual 5% estimate, but may know where you are getting the figure from. Most studies have shown that the percentage of gay men is 10%, but that only half of those are out of the closet. Due to that, it can be conferred that 5% of men are openly gay. Also, the 1993 Janus study sated the percentage of lesbians was 5%.\n\nThe Kinsey Reports of 1948 and 1953 stated 37% of males and 13% of females had homosexual experiences, but this includes incidental homosexual experience. The study reported 10% of males being more or less exclusively homosexual and 2% to 6% of females being more or less exclusively homosexual.\nA 1990 study (Homosexuality/Heterosexuality by McWhirter, Sanders, and Reinisch) stated 13.95% of males and 4.25% of females had "extensive" or "more than incidental" homosexual experience.\nA 1993 study (The Janus Report on Sexual Behavior) found 9% of men and 5% of women were involved in frequent or ongoing homosexual experiences, but only 4% of men and 2% of women called themselves homosexual. This difference can be attributed as those who were 'out' and those who were 'closeted'.\n\nIt appears that the number of male homosexuals is approximately 10% and the number of female homosexuals is approximately 4%. It also appears that only half of those who are truly homosexual are "out".
