It is obvious for me that you don’t know the field. In this field, studies conducted in the 1980s are seen as the stone age. For various reasons. I’ll get back on this

I would guess until recently any study of gay men took place exclusively in inner cities and covered excessively promiscuous cohorts that often live a life of high powered excess. The stereotype of the 60’s-80’s gay. I know the exist, but from what I can tell they’re highly over-sampled in the media and scientific studies.
Many universities are in cities, so when they do a study, they go to the closest source, yet that source may be incredibly biased and not a proper sample
I know the FDA studies on homosexual blood donations kind of do this. You rely on someone SELF admitting to being a homosexual to complete strangers. Only someone that is incredibly nonchalant and out about it, would do this.
You know what? I donate blood ALL the time, I just LIE on that questionnaire. Most of the folks I know who donate do the same thing.

Well, now that we have a HPV vaccine, that shouldn’t be such an issue. OH WAIT it’ll lead to teenage pregnancies, so lets make it IMPOSSIBLE to get instead.

You were arguing that you were chaste and I gave you credit for it. Your posts however seem to be saying that if you could you would.

I am incapable of having sex. You will notice I have repeatedly said my chastity is easy and not a burden. It not a burden because the doctors mutilated me beyond any ability to perform any sort of sexual act when I was an infant. I do not know what sexual pleasure is, I cannot feel anything ‘down there’. It is a numb void, similar to someone who is paralyzed, except only that area is so, not my entire lower body. I have to be similarly careful, because due to those surgeries, I get infections, yet since I am completely void of all sensations, I can be bleeding, or in danger of getting sepsis and not even know it.
I cannot deny that I would want to at least try it, if I was capable.

APA’s New Pamphlet on Homosexuality
De-emphasizes the Biological Argument, Supports
a Client’s Right to Self-Determination
*The APA has now begun to acknowledge what most scientists have long known:
that a bio-psycho-social model of causation best fits the data.
*
March 6, 2008 - In 1998, the American Psychological Association (APA) published a brochure titled “Answers to Your Questions about Sexual Orientation and Homosexuality.”
This particular document was ostensibly published to provide definitive answers about homosexuality. However, few of the assertions made in the brochure could find any basis in psychological science. Clearly a document anchored more in activism than in empiricism, the brochure was simply a demonstration of how far APA had strayed from science, and how much it had capitulated to activism.

You really expect us to belief ANYTHING NARTH posts, especially me? Haven’t you read anything about the therapy that I underwent? It was therapists following instructions from NARTH ‘Research’ that I underwent for crying out loud.

yes - I do expect you to read it. And then you can read the APA document yourself.

And the point is? I read all of it. I didn’t say I was not going to read it. I don’t believe a single thing NARTH ever says. I don’t think you understand my aversion to them. I can’t even watch VIDEOS of Nicolosi without having a complete mental meltdown.
NARTH mentions the bio-psych-social model, but then if you actually talk to Nicolosi, he has a 100% Social/Psych model. Specifically, it’s all the parents fault, 100% of the time, always. There are no exceptions.
This is another reason why I dislike them, they talk two stories at the same time.

This is from the brochure. It is interesting that NARTH cites that.
Only fundamentalists are satisfied with half truths.

I think I understand the purpose behind pasting links which claim homosexual men have an increased risk of anal cancer. It’s another way of proving that homosexuality is unnatural. But, had you read the article, scientists believe HPV is to blame, not the act. HPV causes cervical cancer in women who are infected via heterosexual sex, yet that’s completely natural.

A healthy monogamous homosexual couple can be as healthy as any healthy heterosexual monogamous couple. Any present transmissable condition in any of the partners, be they homosexual or heterosexual, can be a factor in the decline of their health. Another factor is the specific individual’s genetic make-up, which can prevent or contribute to the development of medical conditions.

I can only imagine how disheartening for devout Catholics it is to see all the pro-gay posters. LOL.
Gotta say one thing, at least the mods allow it. I’ve been on non-Catholic forums in which expressing support for homosexuals would have resulted in an immediate ban.

Being a “devout catholic” does not mean being anti-gay. Those who are anti-gay must be identified with other terms.

We are searching for the truth. Civil debate is welcome. We all can learn.
It is disheartening to see how much work has to be done.

As Catholics we love the sinner and hate the sin. We hate the “gay” act as it is intrinsically evil.

Some catholics don’t interpret the bible in condemnation of gay acts. I don’t think most of them would try to speak in the name of all the catholics.

I’m just fascinated that so many people have been, well, politically correct. There have been some who, in my view, have expressed hate and intolerance, but very few. It’s impressing because, like I said, so many other forums, non-Catholic, would ban people for this type of discussion.
Perhaps Catholics are simply more sensible than protestants?
