You may not have a choice regarding same sex attraction. However, by self-identifying as a “bisexual” you are in fact choosing that identity.
Should I not identify as a bisexual woman? Should I pretend I’m straight when I’m not exclusively straight? I follow through on my bisexuality because I’m bisexual. I enjoy sex with men and women. I don’t think God would make me bisexual then expect me to not fully enjoy sex.
I will defend your right to identify yourself as bisexual - since it is the truth of your innate personhood, but you need to recognise that your actions are as a result of your choices on whether or not to act on your instincts. We are not mindless automatons. We do have free will.
All I meant was that what was said was meaningless, all I said was “In other words what you just said is meaningless.”, no more, no less.
In my heart of hearts I think I’ll end up spending my life with a woman. I don’t want kids and the bottom line is I don’t trust men although I am attracted sexually to some. There’s no way I’m going to go through life never experiences the joys of sex. No way.
Sex in today’s world seems incredibly overhyped. To me being loved and spending your successes and failures seems more important.
No disagreement from me there, but sex is also important. It is to me anyway.
Heavy going innit? I don’t know what she was going on about.
They can and they do but why would you want to deny a fulfilling sex life when you can have it. I have those relationships but I also have a great sex life. Nothing wrong with that.
People --of mixed and of same-sex relationships-- can have the highest forms of affection, respect, tenderness, elation, joy, pleasure, and mutual fulfilmment – without any physicality involved. Anyone who denies that has simply not experienced it yet.
There is something wrong with it. It’s self serving and narcissistic.
It’s wrong because within the same-sex, it is forbidden, and was forbidden by the moral code adhered to by Jesus, by the way. It violates the ordered relationships among human persons, respective to their integral place in the human family. It’s the reason I love my sister and my best friend terribly, and therefore do not engage in sexual activity with either of them. The sexual activity would not intensify my love for them or their love for me, and in fact it would reduce the quality of that love because the normal, natural, and protective barrier had been broken.
Why are you sure God made you that way?
So we’re told but I don’t know if that’s true or not.
Not to me it doesn’t. There’s nothing wrong with my relationships, doesn’t matter how many times it’s repeated that there is. Religious people have to tow the party line I understand that.
Well who else made me if it wasn’t God?
God has an ordaining will and a permissive will. He does not ordain disordered desires.
There is something wrong with them - doesn’t matter how many times you repeat that there isn’t. And like it or not, you’re a Catholic. You can’t pick your parents, and you can’t undo your Baptism.
Our human makeup is a result of our parents and their parents, etc… We are also subject to the ravages of sin. We are also born with concupiscence.
Have you sent her a PM on the forum? I think she might be interested in talking with you, she can probably relate better than we can.
Well, I haven’t engaged in sex (and I honestly have no intention of doing it) so I can’t experientially say it is overrated however I can say that it seems overrated as it is often placed as the be all and end all of life.
People --of mixed and of same-sex relationships-- can have the highest forms of affection, respect, tenderness, elation, joy, pleasure, and mutual fulfilmment – without any physicality involved. Anyone who denies that has simply not experienced it yet.
lack of sex makes you focus on the relationship itself as the feel good hormones are no longer covering up all the cracks.
