in my judgment it is the opinion of a human being. Sex to me is not some purely mechanical unthinking reaction.
It has an emotional basis based on lust, attraction, affection - a whole number of human emotions and conditions.
The same nerve endings may have the same mechanical reaction if you stroke your pet dog, or you strole an animal corpse - but do we suppose we cannot tell the difference? Our reaction to any physical stimulation happens in the context of our feelings and pyshcological view.
Again, I am not saying there is anything morally wrong with a male finding pleasure in being anally penetrated, but I say again that such a state would normally mean that the person had some homosexual feelings.
Now, to me - the fact that I am called homophobic for saying a particular thing is homosexual is in fact an indication of an underlying cultural homophobia that that person at least accepts as colouring their world view. The assumption is made that if I call something homosexual I am making a negative or insulting judgment.
In fact I am not prejudiced, and I do not in my world view see any moral difference between homosexual and heterosexual actions - and a great many people are capable of both.
