I hope you're not implying that I say otherwise. I didn't offer an opinion. The only point I make is that the opinion of a heterosexual on the matter is just pointless academic pontification.

In theory that would be the case.

You made my point when you said "we should be able to extrapolate." It's still pure speculation on your part if you're not homosexual.

Personally, I believe individuals have specific sexual proclivities based on a complex and poorly understood interaction between psychology and neuroendocrine response. I'm inclined to think that the abstract notion of "psychology" is a product of BOTH hereditary and developmental influence.

It seems natural to presume one can make a direct analogy from homosexuality to heterosexuality. But that's a presumption conjured in vitro.

If a man wonders why his wife doesn't like sports - what's the point of debating the matter with his friends when he can just go home and ask his wife?

I stand by my point.
