This is a heterosexual thread.

[Autumnleaf]

For all you heterosexuals out there what are the big moral concerns in your life?

 

[Gremlins]

My biggest concern is that other people are so concerned about who I want to plug my genitals into.

 

[Verv]

Haha I love this parody. Great job.

But I will be serious:

A big concern in my life is trying to live in a more Godly way. I feel like I've spent enough time taking half steps.

 

[jayem]

A big concern in my life is trying to live in a more Godly way.

I'm an atheist, but I also have to serve a higher power. My wife.

 

[Exhausted]

People being WRONG on the INTERNET.

 

[Allegory]

 

[Exhausted]

It consumes many of my waking hours.

 

[Verv]

I'm an atheist, but I also have to serve a higher power. My wife.

Oh man... Everyone has to serve someone.

Talk about frustrating for everyone involved.

 

[quatona]

For all you heterosexuals out there what are the big moral concerns in your life?

The question "What are the inherent, absolute moral values of the different flavours of icecream?"

 

[Athene]

I'm an atheist, but I also have to serve a higher power. My wife.

And so it should be

 

[LittleNipper]

For all you heterosexuals out there what are the big moral concerns in your life?

Am I carrying out GOD's will as I should? Am I setting a Christian example as a father?

Sorry for the hijack (you can take it right back if you like) but this reminds me of M. Rochlin's "Heterosexual Questionnaire." If you want, straight folks, please enlighten us, each other, yourselves...

1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?

2. When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?

3. Is it possible your heterosexuality is just a phase you may grow out of?

4. Could it be that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?

5. If you’ve never slept with a person of the same sex, how can you be sure you wouldn’t prefer that?

6. To whom have you disclosed your heterosexual tendencies? How did they react?

7. Why do heterosexuals feel compelled to seduce others into their lifestyle?

8. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Can’t you just be what you are and keep it quiet?

9. Would you want your children to be heterosexual, knowing the problems they’d face?

10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexual men. Do you consider it safe to expose children to heterosexual male teachers, pediatricians, priests, or scoutmasters?


11. With all the societal support for marriage, the divorce rate is spiraling. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?

12. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?

13. Considering the menace of overpopulation, how could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual?

14. Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective? Don’t you fear s/he might be inclined to influence you in the direction of her/his own leanings?

15. Heterosexuals are notorious for assigning themselves and one another rigid, stereotyped sex roles. Why must you cling to such unhealthy role-playing?

16. How can you enjoy an emotionally fulfilling experience with a person of the other sex when there are such vast differences between you? How can a man know what pleases a woman sexually or vice-versa?

17. Heterosexual women are at a greater risk of sexually transmitted infection than other women. Can a woman really afford to risk heterosexual behavior, with the possibility of disease or pregnancy?

18. Why are heterosexuals so promiscuous?

19. How can you hope to actualize your God-given homosexual potential if you limit yourself to exclusive, compulsive heterosexuality?

20. There seem to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed that might enable you to change if you really want to. After all, you never deliberately chose to be a heterosexual, did you?

 

[wanderingone]

For all you heterosexuals out there what are the big moral concerns in your life?

Moral concerns? But.. I'm heterosexual.. that means I am the paragon of traditional moral virtue... doesn't it?

 

[Ramona]

1. The ice age is coming.
2. The sun's zooming in.
3. Engines stop running.
4. The wheat is growing thin.
5. A nuclear error (but I have no fear).
6. London is drowning and I live by the River.

 

[LittleNipper]

Moral concerns? But.. I'm heterosexual.. that means I am the paragon of traditional moral virtue... doesn't it?

Not really. If you don't have GOD in your heart, you're but one step away from their lifestyle.

 

[wanderingone]

Not really. If you don't have GOD in your heart, your but one step away from their lifestyle.

OK, despite your insistance on responding seriously to an answer with a after it I'll bite...

Whos lifestyle?

 

[mpok1519]

my big concern? survive the impending apocalypse. =P

 

[platzapS]

Eradicating the vile threat to our way of life and to global civilization that is inherent in radical Hindu-fascism. MY GOD HAS TWO ARMS DAMMIT.

 

[Ramona]

But...but...Hanuman has two arms!

 

[TooCurious]

My biggest concerns? Paying off my student loans, the current political and economic situation in the US, making sure my boyfriend has a great birthday this Wednesday, and doing my laundry. In no particular order.

Sorry for the hijack (you can take it right back if you like) but this reminds me of M. Rochlin's "Heterosexual Questionnaire." If you want, straight folks, please enlighten us, each other, yourselves...

Can I play?

1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?

Boys. If they didn't exist, then where would I be?

2. When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?

Obviously the word "decide" is misapplied here, but I had my first crush on a boy when I was four.

3. Is it possible your heterosexuality is just a phase you may grow out of?

It's theoretically possible that I could be induced to experiment with girls, but I'm pretty sure I'll always come back to boys.

4. Could it be that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?

I doubt it; I tend to get a lot more nervous around guys than with girls.

5. If you’ve never slept with a person of the same sex, how can you be sure you wouldn’t prefer that?

I have a vivid imagination; even before I'd been with a guy, I found the prospect more appealing than being with a girl.

6. To whom have you disclosed your heterosexual tendencies? How did they react?

My mother knows probably a bit more about what my boyfriend and I do in the bedroom than she'd prefer (our apartment has thin walls). I still haven't told my father that I have a boyfriend, because it's none of his business.

7. Why do heterosexuals feel compelled to seduce others into their lifestyle?

I don't know. The only people I've ever tried to seduce were people I specifically wanted to have romantic relations with. If there are reasons beyond that, they escape me.

8. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Can’t you just be what you are and keep it quiet?

I'm an exhibitionist.

9. Would you want your children to be heterosexual, knowing the problems they’d face?

If they are, then they are. I'd just make sure they learned how to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy and suchlike.

10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexual men. Do you consider it safe to expose children to heterosexual male teachers, pediatricians,

In appropriate contexts, I would have no reservations.

priests,

Under most circumstances, no, but not for the reasons you're thinking.

or scoutmasters?

I don't support the Boy Scouts of America

11. With all the societal support for marriage, the divorce rate is spiraling. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?

In large part because people frequently get married too early (either in their lives, or in the relationship) -- often because their religion tells them that the only way they're allowed to have sex is within a marriage. Another major issue is poor communication skills.

12. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?

Because sex is awesome.

13. Considering the menace of overpopulation, how could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual?

Only if people, on the whole, become more responsible, finding ways to live sustainably and not spawning more than their finances or their environment can support. I'm planning to have a maximum of one kid (barring unexpected possibilities like twins).

14. Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective? Don’t you fear s/he might be inclined to influence you in the direction of her/his own leanings?

If I suspected any therapist of projecting his or her own feelings or issues onto me, I'd get a new therapist. I do, however, think it is possible for a therapist of any sexuality to be responsible and professional.

15. Heterosexuals are notorious for assigning themselves and one another rigid, stereotyped sex roles. Why must you cling to such unhealthy role-playing?

Any role-playing that my boyfriend and I do is quite healthy; in fact, I've got something fun planned for his upcoming birthday...

16. How can you enjoy an emotionally fulfilling experience with a person of the other sex when there are such vast differences between you? How can a man know what pleases a woman sexually or vice-versa?

Learning about each other's bodies and what the other person enjoys is part of the fun!

17. Heterosexual women are at a greater risk of sexually transmitted infection than other women. Can a woman really afford to risk heterosexual behavior, with the possibility of disease or pregnancy?

This is what birth control, condoms, and committed exclusive relationships are for.

18. Why are heterosexuals so promiscuous?

I don't know, and can't really speak for anyone but myself. I prefer committed relationships, myself.

19. How can you hope to actualize your God-given homosexual potential if you limit yourself to exclusive, compulsive heterosexuality?

I don't believe in God.

20. There seem to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed that might enable you to change if you really want to. After all, you never deliberately chose to be a heterosexual, did you?

Nah, I think I'm good.
