Sexuality is broad, what does it prescribe?

It's an absurd suggestion. Sexuality allows for human reproduction and thus the continuation of the species. Sexuality is real, all right. Ever see a Ricky Martin video?


Seriously, what you just suggested was nothing more than an oxymoron.


Would still be an oxymoron if I said Mariah Carey instead of Ricky Martin?

I think it is because some people don't realise it is ok to be a little freaked out by something, and to not take themselves so seriously.

So in your speaking, do you suggest that fundamentalists are absolute?

Yes, it is. It prescribes all human sexual behaviour, including male/female pairbonding, mating, and child-rearing. Homosexual behaviour is included also, but this does not lead to procreation.

It's a possibility. But the actual odds of that happening ... I don't know.

I was actually almost a father, once. But my then-partner suffered a stress-induced miscarriage a few months into her pregnancy. I never actually saw it happen. I was told about it later.
