Something to think
We love the sex!
Our complex brain active a system to release the hormones which awake our instinct to have SEX ! Subconsciously, the only reason why we're looking for a couple is for transmit our genes to the next generation but consciously, the most of the encounters are just for fun...the way to find the sex is very broad and the preferences of each person are differences.
There are about 550 paraphilias, some of the most populars:
Basoexia,Pedophilia, Bukkake,Candalagnia, Urophilia, Dogging, Gerontophilia, Naphephilia, Retiphism, Sadism, Zoophilia, Coprophilia, Autagonistophilia,Necrophilia,Clastomania...
And there are much more bizarres like:
Misophilia, miro and acrophilia, abasiofilia, formicophilia, asphixiophilia, dacriphilia, ailurophilia...
So, here is my question:
Why do you think is the reason that exist that high sex variability preferences (paraphilias) in Homo sapiens sapiens Sp compared with the others living forms?
Why only us? why while one enjoy with one manner other have an adversion or indifference for the same practice? when appeared and became so heterogeneous this behavior? Is innate, learned, heritable? connected with some disfunction?

Re: Something to think
I love this post! Something I have though about.
Some of these specific "phillias" we can't discuss here. Site owner has rules.
But, I know what you mean, I've often wondered where our preferences and tendencies come from. Not just sexual, but all of our tendencies. Why are some only attracted to specif ice body types, certain skin tones, certain age spans.
Animals just run on the instinct to breed with the best DNA carriers to preserve the breed.
We seem to not only be influenced by our personal history, but our own DNA has morphed and evolved into a vast variety.
So often you read that a new gene or DNA strand has been isolated and found to be responsible for a human trait. Most recently I heard that there is a gene that determines Altruism. The fact that a gene can determine that one person is more likely to compassionately give than another is fascinating for sure.

Re: Something to think
Sadly, when a 'gene responsible for' anything is found, the media typically misrepresents the true nature of the finding. All our DNA is responsible for is making proteins. All proteins are responsible for is modifying other chemicals. An even crazier notion is that the same gene is interpreted differently depending on the cell type it is transcribed in, so it can do different things in the brain than in the liver.
Genes that are found to be responsible for certain behaviors are usually genes that cause certain brain chemistry patterns that don't exist in 'normal' humans. (I hate the word normal, as there really is no such thing as normal, therefore the strive to be normal is that of a futile effort since you strive for an impossible existence) A while ago they found a gene that is responsible for 'violent criminals' but the study was so limited that it didn't really look at the 'normal' population. They basically just DNA tested a bunch of criminals and found that most violent criminals had a certain gene mutation. Guess what other professions commonly have this gene mutation? If you said Law Enforcement, Politicians and Religious Leaders, you'd be correct.
Don't believe what you read about genetics being responsible for certain things, as we really have no idea.

Re: Something to think
Science is not exact and in most studies the finding turn out to be what the people studying want them to be.There are so many things that are subjective. Medical science is amazing but trust me when I tell you most people would be scared if they realized how much of it is an educated guess at best. Studies contradict each other all the time.I do think we are on the right track with many things but we are only starting to understand the human body and I know they wont understand it all in my lifetime or my children's or even great grand-children's. We may never know what really makes us do all the things we do or what we like or dislike. Some believe that environment, DNA, freewill, circumstances all contribute to these things. I am sure that no one looks at their sweet little child in the crib and ever think that they can grow up to be a serial killer and I seriously doubt that anyone raises their kids with that as the goal. Is it something that is ingrained in them? Is it something that happens to them? Is it the parents fault? Does you intelligence have anything to do with it? No one has been able to answer these questions yet. Just a bunch of theories.

Re: Something to think
I saw you online, Mooant, and was hoping you'd find your way to this thread.
I have no problem with the word 'normal'
It's normal to be heterosexual, it's also normal for heterosexuals to have a sexual curiosity about the same sex. Normal is a base. A very wide base. A hetero that has curiosities or even homosexual, bisexual tendencies is within a normal base too.
I don't buy into every new genetic report or study, but they are interesting. There is DNA testing for allot of genetic conditions. Thankfully there is, because the women on my mother's side can be tested to determine if they carry a rather horrible incurable disease, which now gives the young women in our family a chance to decide to have children or not.
(My mother did not inherit this gene, a sister of hers did, this sister had a large family, allot of daughters, only two daughters remain, the rest, including my aunt, died a slow miseralbe painful death before ever reaching the age of fifty)
Hemachromotosis is also a genetic trait in our family. Up until my brother's accidental death, we were totally unaware of it, like allot of families. Men stricken with it were in the past, often mistaken for lousy, lazy alcoholics because this condition in the later stages causes jaundice from Cirrhosis . Even if the stricken male did not drink much. However, the other symptoms of this disease can cause severe depression, fatigue and in turn...drive a desperate man to drink. He is not genetically imposed to be alcoholic, but...sadly, it's not abnormal for a undiagnosed man to become alcoholic.

Re: Something to think
I agree with all, about the differences. I've known many others, both sex's, who have been totally hetro, to totally gay , and every variable in between, as well as casual curiosity, to have been experimental. Whatever another is, should, in my opinion, respected. Paraphrasing, as I believe, normal is, what is ever works for you, doe's not hurt or bother others.

Re: Something to think
I guess, it's a matter of dopamine. Whatever triggers that release of dopamine, will become our preference, our obsession.
In the altruism study, the people that were said to have the gene, loved to give. They loved the warm fuzzy good feeling they got from giving, the feeling they got from doing something theyl saw as good and right. Which, depending on the defintion, isn't really altruism. Altruism is giving without personal gain, and if giving releases dopamine, then there is personal gain.

Re: Something to think
I will respectfully disagree with you. I am very into science and have had many long conversations with some of the most respected doctors /scientists and it is not exact. There are many things That have been "proven " scientifically only to find out that they were completely wrong . This happens for many reasons. It could be that we didn't have certain knowledge at the time a study was origionaly done or an oversight or just that the study was done differently. Science is wonderful and helps us everyday to progress. It has saved my daughters life as well as many other friends and family members. However we are just scratching the surface.
I love this thread although I think we will have to agree to disagree.

Re: Something to think
I think, in compromise...science is exact, it's how the results are presented that lends to inaccuracies?
A study, will bring exact results, whether or not it is controlled, how controlled, and how the results are presented that leads to misleading information and inaccuracies.
Okay, just going for the compromise here. 
Mooant, of course, is the person to explain this in detail.
(I could listen to him "talk" all day!)
