what family i have left (my parents have both passed on) is scattered. My wife's are fairly close, but with the exception of her sister, who passed last year, they don't particularly approve of us, especially me, and Kate isn't exactly on friendly terms with her step father and brother, so...

we'll spend christmas the way we usually do, which is spending having people over christmas eve, our little patchwork family by choice. there will be food, games, story telling, singing, and just lots of joy. christmas morning is ours - we have breakfast, open presents, and just bask in each other's company. later, we always take in a movie - i think it's going to be Osage County this year and i think it will be with our neighbors. just a nice quiet one, really, the way i've grown to like them. smile

I have, yeah.

I've had different relationships - some where he was ok with certain things and I wasn't and also vice versa. I've had completely monogamous relationships, ones where occasionally hooking up with a female friend was 'allowed' or even encouraged, others where it was at first but then he decided he was not ok with it. One where we had a couple of threesomes, which I encouraged. I think it's a moving dialogue. As long as people are on the same page and there's no deception, I still consider that committed.

Kissing another girl, for example, isn't being 'monogamous' but there's a lot of guys out there that would be totally fine with their GF or wife doing that. I don't think that means that it's not a committed relationship. I think it means different things to different people and even depending on the nature of the individual relationship. If I love the person, I play by the rules we set for each other. I may want to do something else, but I won't because it makes him uncomfortable. I'm still putting his needs before my free-instincts.

It's still a committed relationship, you're just re-defining it, rather than taking the basic one-size-fits-all definition of it.


this. perfect.

These articles are not the ones I read while ago, will have to dig a bit deeper for them, but they will show that homosexuality is not genetic. As I was saying in all my posts on this subject, nothing is 100%, we as human species are still learning and who knows what will scientists prove in coming decades.

just so you are aware:

credentials. Dr Neil Whitehead is associated with NARTH, an association of mental health professionals who operate under the assumption that homosexual individuals who want to change, can change -- with counseling (or brainwashing).

your other examples back what i was referring to - epigenetic roots.

This is what I am saying. If people would be brave enough, courageous enough to listen what exactly their essence wants, they would choose to be with a person they are attracted to it. For now, my mind hasn't been changed, I still believe that human race is bisexual.


so, if a person is attracted to someone of the opposite sex, if that's what their essence wants, they are still bi-sexual, even if their essence is ever attracted to a member of the same sex? i'm really not sure how that works. care to explain that a little more in depth?

I don't get it, why balant? Being gay is not a bad thing, its nothing special, it is just who you are attracted to and have sex with. Of course there is really bad history how gay people were treated and still are in certain places of the world but is 'just' about sex, it is nothing wrong mentally, emotionaly or physicaly about gay people. And as said before as soon as I will find time, I will search for documents I read while ago about being gay is not DNA issue but a choice. And of course that doesn't mean just an oppinion with someone with agenda, but a scientific document.


i have a particular problem with people claiming homosexuality is a choice because what you end up seeing are people claiming to be able to de-gay or de-program gay people which does a lot of harm. and i never said it was anything special. it just is. it's also not sinful nor evil or wrong, something many can't get their heads wrapped around.

looking forward to hearing your proof. until then, sorry, homosexuality is not a choice. seriously, as i've said before, if it was, wouldn't those who are persecuted for it choose to be straight?

beside in some latest researches it has been proven that being gay is a choice.




total BS. please, if you're going to post such blatant disinformation, back it up with facts, and no, that doesn't mean an opinion piece by someone with an agenda.

for those interested in scientific FACT, please read further:

For an evolutionary biologist, homosexuality is something of a puzzle. It’s a common trait, found in up to 10% of the population. It appears to be run in families, suggesting that it is hereditary, at least in part. And yet it defies the very reason why traits are passed on from generation to generation. How could something that hinders childbearing be passed down so frequently from parents to children?

Researchers at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) think they may have an answer. It’s not in written in our DNA sequence itself, they suggest, which explains why scientists have failed so far to find “gay genes,” despite intensive investigations. Instead, it’s written in how our genes are expressed: that is, in certain modifications to how and when DNA is activated. These changes can have environmental roots, so are not normally permanent enough to be passed from parent to child. But occasionally, they are.

“It’s not genetics. It’s not DNA. It’s not pieces of DNA. It’s epigenetics,” says Sergey Gavrilets, a NIMBioS researcher and an author on the paper that outlines the new theory of homosexuality, published in The Quarterly Review of Biology. “The hypothesis we put forward is based on epigenetic marks,” he says.

To be specific, the new theory suggests that homosexuality is caused by epigenetic marks, or “epi-marks,” related to sensitivity to hormones in the womb. These are compounds that sit on DNA and regulate how active, or inactive certain genes are, and also control when during development these genes are most prolific. Gavrilets and his colleagues believe that gene expression may regulate how a fetus responds to testosterone, the all-important male sex hormone. They further argue that epi-marks may help to buffer a female fetus from high levels of testosterone by suppressing receptors that respond to testosterone, for example, (thus ensuring normal fetal development even in the presence of a lot of testosterone) or to buffer a male fetus from low levels of testosterone by upregulating receptors that bind to the hormone (ensuring normal fetal development even in the absence of high levels of testosterone). Normally, these epi-marks are erased after they are activated, but if those marks are passed down to the next generation, the same epi-marks that protected a man in utero may cause oversensitivity to testosterone among his daughters, and the epi-marks that protected a woman in utero may lead to undersensitivity to testosterone among her sons.

You see, it strikes me every time few things. One of them is how people think their problem is biggest one and show lack of compassion for others. You being gay, claiming how rough time you are having but in the same breath diminishing my comming out. I am not 16 anymore so I don't tell random people about my personal decisions, but yes I was called names, I have been told to visit professional help because it is unnatural for women not want kids, not to mention religious moments in all that. But I guess, I understand now, if you cannot see and sympathise with other people's differences, of course you cannot accept the fact that someone can. .


yep, that's me in a nutshell. i am the least compassionate person alive. btw, i wasn't claiming that i have it rough. i was saying that gay people in general have it rough - homosexuals are, in the US at least, the only minority group who aren't granted the same rights as the rest of the population. also, i never belittled your coming out. i simply said that, as a rule, your issue isn't treated the same way by most of the population as being gay. you do realized that some men are beaten and even killed simply for being gay, right? it's a very real fear. some teens are thrown out of the house and disowned. you can read into whatever you wish of what i said, that's your choice. just be aware that it's your interpretation of my words rather then what i've actually said. sorry for, once again, pushing my gay agenda in, of all places, the LGBT forum on Lush.

why don't you let Darlavanhorn decide for herself - Coco's already volunteered, i don't see why we need to get myself or any other mods involved at this point. Coco, btw, is a senior mod - she's going to be able to provide a definative answer.

what was your question? Perhaps i can help. btw, sometimes things just get lost in the mix when you're dealing with countless amounts of daily PMs like some of us do - we all try not to let it happen, but it does - sometimes it helps to send a polite query after some time goes by and remind us - we're only human, you know.

Now, I have a serious point here too - When the 101 word poems were all the rage, I did one and it got posted, but then I got a PM to say it was over the 101 limit. This led to me getting grumpy, because it was bang on 101 according to Lush, and doing some comparisons (I got a Bug Slayer badge too btw thankyouverymuch)

Anyway, point being that I've written 505 words so far, according to wordcounttool. net/, but when I paste it into the Lush submit box, it only comes up at 477, which on such a short story comp, could make quite a big difference - obviously it would let the competitors post a story longer than 1.5k, or would the count be external? (Is it something to do with other characters or something?)

Anyway, I just thought it worth mentioning now, given that everyone will be paying a much closer eye on how many words they will be submitting and it is sure to become a headache otherwise...

It is most probably just me, but I read this as I have to be apologising because am not gay. Unfortunately, there are dark clouds above gay people, I personaly blame institution of religion for it. However, if you think about it, being gay in physical, reproductive way is out of ordenary and people in general don't do well with out of ordenary, unfortunately.
I don't know how it is to be gay, but I believe that every each of us has something out of ordenary that was needed to be said to family. I, for instance, have told them that I don't want children, will not have them and will not be married, specially not in white dress with all the fuss around it. This was my personal comming out to my parents, you have something else, that is who you have sex with and luckaly for you, you are not the only one who feels attraction to the same gender, so you can if you want to have feeling that you belong somevhere, even though that is being gay.
I don't know how it feels to be black, however, I traveled enough that I know that being white is same as being black.


how did what i said make you feel you have to apologize for anything? that's silly. unless you are a bigot or practice discrimination, you have nothing to apologize for. i have never, once, asked anyone to feel bad because they are not gay. i am simply stating a very real point. no one can really know how it feels to be (insert minority here) unless they are a member of that minority. yes, you may have a very good idea, you may empathize, but it's not the same thing.

some examples: i grew up in a predominately black neighborhood. i think the N word is abhorant and have heard it, not as rap slang, but as a racial epithet far too often in my life. it makes me very angry to hear it used. that said, i don't feel the same hurt, the same anger, that a black man or woman would feel if it was used against me. that said, i can empathize, having been called nasty names due to my sexual orientation. it's different, but close enough to understand. and yes, each of us may very well have something out of the ordinary about them, but most of us won't be shunned by a large section of society for that - i am sure that, were you to tell people at a party that you didn't want to have children, no one would suddenly walk away from you in discomfort, call you names, or tell you that you are an abomination against god. that stuff happens. not often, at least not in my experience, of where i've lived, but it does, and in some parts of the country, it happens more often then you'd think.

and no, being black is not the same as being white. yes, in some places, it is, but in many it is not, and i am speaking from experience. travel the United States. being a minority of any kind is not the same as white. hell, just read the headlines, and you'll get the picture.

Hey there smile
Not sure if I was misunderstood about my family and friend statement. I was just saying I felt coming out should be done/share with family and friends ...because hopefully that's where you can find love and support. Not saying every family member or friend will. My sister DID come out at the dinner table and her girlfriend at the time was there and we already loved her girlfriend. Any one with eyes could see it was more than a friendship and she did date a couple guys but there was never any real love there it was plain to see. All I wanted to do was say its best to come out to those who love you, no I am not gay and I will never know what its like to come out. All I know is how my sister explained it " excitement with dread, excitement to finally be her and dread at losing love and respect" So yes my sister is brave and I love her dearly and shes my best friend so I hope this clears your opinion on my statement but if it wasn't toward me then I guess you learned more anyhow lol


my statement wasn't directed at you smile *hugs* just a general statement. i know guys who would be disowned if they came out to family - how that feels, knowing that you can't share who you are with your family? teen suicide among gay kids is pretty up there, ya know? i was lucky, btw. when i got serious with my now wife, she was accepted by my family - they pretty much already knew i liked girls and, after the douche bag guys i'd dated, they kind of were supportive, seeing as how i was suddenly dating someone they liked (we'd been friends for a while and they knew her before we became a couple).

straight people have no need to come out. it's assumed that you're straight unless you make a point of coming out. i mean, seriously, how many of you grew up with your parent's thinking that you're gay and then, one day, surprised them at the dinner table with "mom? dad? i'm seeing someone of the opposite sex?"

like anything else, you may empathize with gay people, but you'll never quite know what it feels like to be gay just like i have a good idea of what it is like to be black, but i will never experience it and so can only empathize. there are things that hurt, that prick, that remind us that we are a minority that you just don't see or hear or feel in the same way. that's understandable, but please, don't tell me that it's not a big thing to come out to family and friends, because you're dead wrong.

for beginners, too loose is usually better than too tight. afterwards, you can discuss if it needs to be tighter next time - starting out too extreme could be scary for her - you never know until your actually tied up how you're going to react and feel.

I'd to see some improvements made to the relationship statuses, particularly the BDSM, there are other relationship types then being owned, also, I know I am not the only Dom who owns more then one submissive, it would be nice to be able to list them in my status.


yeah, but i could see that getting out of hand, i mean, pretty soon people are going to want pet status and friend status and FWB status and and and... and frankly, it could get a bit crazy.
