Well, Christ!, Justin. Many college students still find oral sex viscerally disgusting...it takes a while. Besides, one thing I can tell you is that while men may publically gag at the idea of having sex with another man, when they get older, like say, after 40, they all start to come clean about a variety of homosexual experiences. It surprised me too, but I have just been amazed at the number of men who have confessed something like this to me in the last five years.
So, you know, there's the publicly display attitude...and then there's what people actually do.

I didn't say "hardwired and independent of social conditioning," I said "visceral," meaning, "gut,"; I wasn't speculating about its cause or origin. I used to see this when I was teaching. Ohio students found (male) homosexuality to be, eeww, yuck, gross, dis-GUST-ing. How would you describe that except as "visceral"? And their religious beliefs weren't determinative,a lthough the Godly definitely were more likely to share this reaction. So I mean, just independent of religious beliefs. As you knwo, I don't believe that it is even _coherent_ to talk about any sort of behaviore independently of social conditioning. (I'll send you a paper on this that I can'ts eem to get published . . . )jks

"Visceral"? I'm skeptical. Aren't you the one who argues against the causative value of "inborn" anything. Do you mean "visceral disgust" independent of religious beliefs only? or also independent of social conditioning?
