In response to a couple of comments posted regarding my thoughts about homosexuality and genetics:
The point I sought to make, and apparently did not, was that as long as males view sex as primarily a recreational activity, an attitude not uncommon among men, unwed women especially will bear unwanted children. Any man who has been married for any time at all and is sensitive to his wife, realizes how different are the attitudes of men and women towards sex. Men are promiscuous by nature. The nature of the sexual relationship between male homosexuals (As Medved's post and the conclusions found in a study published in book form, The Male Couple show) and female homosexuals differs at the point of sexual exclusivity in their relationships. Female homosexuals tend to be as heterosexual couples: sexually exclusive. Why, we might ask, is the majority of the clients of both male and female prostitutes men? Do we then need to argue the deleterious effects of male promiscuity and his view of sex as, first and foremost, fun? Out-of-wedlock births do not occur when men and women act responsibly. I was not suggesting non-procreative sex produces unwed pregnancies. I wanted to show, by using Medved's comments, that promiscuity, and thus, irresponsible sex in the male population, homosexual or heterosexual, is a unarguable point. Perhaps, David, you can steer me to a peer-reviewed study showing different causes for unwed births other than sexual irresponsibility.
