GreatAchiever1:You believe that every instance of underage sex is RAPE or not consensual; but, in certain instances, consent may exist;however, you would argue that the consenting party are too young to be permitted. However, what would you say about parents who allow their children to alter their sex before they reach puberty or who use hormone blockers to do so? Why did they approve of such behaviour? Why did they alter their sexual orientation before reaching the legal age of consent? There's no type of consent from a child, a child can't give consent plain and simple. It's despicable for you to compare medical consent and sexual consent, I have no reason to argue this, I leave you to your devices. 2 Likes |

GreatAchiever1: The fact that you think it's the same as RAPE is shocking. I have made a clear distinction already, if you are in a relationship with someone that can't give consent it's RAPE, even a gay man chasing young boys that are not adults and can't give consent is rape. 2 Likes |

Kenn55: Your argument is premise on the fact that procreation is the only basis for relationship/marriage? If this is the case then you are wrong, there are lots of married people who wish to adopt, that doesn't make them unnatural. Talking about vice as related to sex, there are many vices the society now sees as normal that was abnormal about 30- 50 years ago. 1. Sex before marriage 2. Baby mama 3. Marrying someone that is as young as your daughter. 4. Marrying an older woman and lots more. |

advanceDNA: How else should I explain this, a child/animal can't give consent and that is the only important credential for a relationship. If you read my initial post you should buy now understand the biology, it's not Farfetch, the male and female geno get separated in the womb, there's no male or female egg, all eggs in a woman's womb is female by default. Sexual orientation is mostly caused by biological factors that start before birth. People don’t decide who they’re attracted to, and therapy, treatment, or persuasion won’t change a person’s sexual orientation. This is what the discussion is about. 1 Like |

advanceDNA: The first thing you need to understand is there is a difference between desire and mental disorders. Just like the difference between a madman and everyone else is not just clothes but how they interact with humans. In Nigeria a 45 year old man can marry a 14 years old girl, that should be a crime but for some reason if he has permission from the parents it's fine but we all know it's abnormal, the girls doesn't have a choice because she's not old enough. The difference here is first both are adults of legal age, two no one is being taken advantage of (can you ask an animal for permission, do they have legal age, can they refuse such advance) Remember just having sex with a woman is not enough, she has to agree, if she's not in agreement ITS RAPE, just because you have the impulse to sleep with someone doesn't make it right. 1 Like |

Swaelyf: The truth is many married men and women are but have to hide because they know the implication, so many things are happening in Nigeria. When I came up with this topic lots of people accused me of being gay, but there's another reason why I am concerned enough to investigate this. The fact that it's present in our kind of society makes it very unlikely a product of indoctrination, people won't even talk about it in a forum like Nairaland where you can hide your identity, where exactly do you get indoctrinated. 3 Likes |

bandseeker: The problem is, he may just be introverted and not gay but the very simple reason that he is different may screw him up for life, this is why we need to reorientate the young minds, being bullish and extroverted is not a trait that every child possess. It's so bad that even as an adult male, if you say you don't have a girlfriend for over a period of time say 2 years people begin to suspect, it's possible I am having this to concentrate on. 2 Likes |

TheWinterBird: So you feel God created transgender but somehow it's inconceivable to think they were created by God. The question you fail to understand is, how did you come to feel how you feel about the opposite sex? Was it learned or is it generic, if it is generic then what make you so sure others are not generic. 1 Like |

advanceDNA: Just because a gay man slept with a woman because the environment doesn't permit it. Do you know how many Nigerian men/guy have anal sex with their wife and girlfriend? The idea of choice is not clear to you, the thing you call lust is inbuilt, you don't choose to feel that way. Even as a child I know I was attracted to the opposite sex, it wasn't a choice, I didn't need to develop it, I didn't need to get lectured or try to understand why, all I know is once I am in close proximity I feel how I feel, I can't help it. A choice implies I made a decision to feel that way. 1 Like |

In 2013 I made a post and cited some research materials for the above given topic. When this topic was discussed most people saw it as a debate that has no bases in Nigeria because according to most, it's something of no consequences, but over the years things have changed. About a week ago I saw a video of guy almost linched by a group of young men in the NORTH for LOOKING/WALKING/SPEAKING IN A GIRLISH WAY LOL. This topic is now more important than ever because though we consider this abnormal or against our religious orientation, we must agree there is something more and it deserves a thorough understanding. Find below link to previous post: https://www.nairaland.com/1471542/being-gay-it-genetic-choice Most people will ask why bring this back up, from experience, we have always been reactive, always trying to retrace our steps, everything from yahoo boys, to scamming, jungle justice, even kidnapping, it's until we begin to see real numbers of dead bodies or decay that we start reorientation, at which time lots of young minds are already too far gone. I made a promise to re-evaluate the topic after 10 years. The core of the research: Homosexuality, “GAY” Is it Genetic or a Choice? Can the 'Choice' Be Changed? Some research materials: Research shows that the basic template for the body and brain of a human fetus is female in its structure. As a result men have some redundant female features such as nipples. Men also have mammary glands which do not function but retain the potential to produce milk. There are thousands of recorded cases of lactation in male prisoners of war where starvation led to a diseased liver failing to break down the hormones essential for breast-feeding. As we now know, six to eight weeks after conception, a male fetus (XY) receives a massive dose of male hormones called androgens which first forms the testes, and then a second dose to alter the brain from a female format to a male configuration. If the male foetus does not receive enough male hormones at the appropriate time, one of two things may happen. Firstly, a baby boy may be born with a brain structure that is more feminine than masculine, in other words, a boy who will most likely be gay by puberty. Secondly, a genetic boy may be born with a fully functioning female brain and a set of male genitals. This person will be transgender. This is a person who is biologically male but feeling as if he is a female. Sometimes a genetic male is born with a set of both male and female genitals. Geneticist Anne Moir in her ground-breaking book Brainsex documents the many cases of genetic boys being born looking like girls and being raised as girls, only suddenly to find that they have penis and testicles that 'appear' at puberty. Homosexuality is Part of History Among the ancient Greeks, homosexuality was not only permitted, it was highly respected. The slim, boyish, youthful figure was their ideal of beauty, and paintings and statues were erected in its honour. Poems were written about the love that prominent older men had for young men. The Greeks believed that male homosexuality served a noble, higher purpose and it inspired youths to become worthy members of the community. They also found that young gay men proved to be some of their most courageous, successful warriors as they would fight 'side-by-side in love with each other'. In Roman times, Julius Caesar was described as 'every woman's man and every man's woman.' When Christianity frowned on same-sex relationships and God reportedly brought his vengeance down on the City of Sodom, homosexuality was banned, disappeared into the closet and wasn't seen in public again until recently. The Victorian era refused to acknowledge that homosexuality existed and, even if it did, it must be the Devil's work and would be severely punished. As we enter the 21st Century, older generations still believe that homosexuality is a recent phenomenon and an 'unnatural' act. The reality is that it has been around for as long as male foetuses missed out on their sufficient share of male hormones. Is it Genetic or a Choice? When Body Language author Allan Pease and geneticist Anne Moir appeared together on British television in 1991 for the launch of their books Brainsex (Mandarin Books) and Talk Language (HarperCollins), Moir revealed the results of her research which highlighted what scientists have known for years – homosexuality is inborn, not a choice. Not only is homosexuality mostly inborn, but the environment in which we are raised plays a lesser role in our behaviour than was previously thought. Scientists have found that as an adolescent or adult, parents' efforts to suppress homosexual tendencies in their off-spring has practically no effect. And because the impact of male hormone (or lack of it) on the brain is the main culprit, most homosexuals are males. There is no solid evidence that upbringing affects the likelihood of a child becoming homosexual. For every lesbian (female body with a masculinised brain) there are about eight to ten gay men. If the gay and lesbian movement was to embrace this research and, if the education system taught these findings, homosexual and transsexual people would not encounter as much prejudice. Most people are more tolerant and accepting of a person who has inborn differences than they are of a person who, in their opinion, makes an unacceptable choice. Take, for example, Thalidomide babies, Parkinson's sufferers, autism or people who have cerebral palsy. The public is more accepting of these people because they are usually born with these conditions, as opposed to homosexuals who supposedly choose their lifestyle. Can we be critical of a person who is born left handed or dyslexic? Or with blue eyes and red hair? Or with a female brain in a male body? Most homosexual people believe that their homosexuality is a choice and, like many minority groups, often use public forums to display their 'choice', which generates negative attitudes from many members of the public. Can the 'Choice' Be Changed? Gays and lesbians do not choose their sexual orientation any more than heterosexuals do. Scientists and most human sexuality experts agree that homosexuality is an orientation that is unchangeable. Researchers believe that most homosexual orientation develops in the womb, that homosexual patterns are firmly fixed by around age five and that it is outside the control of the person. For centuries, techniques have been used to suppress homosexual feelings in 'sufferers' which have included breast amputation, castration, drug therapy, uterus removal, frontal lobotomy, psychotherapy, electric shock therapy, prayer meetings, spiritual counseling and exorcism. No therapies have ever succeeded. The best they have been able to achieve is to make some bisexuals confine their sexual activities to members of the opposite sex or force some homosexuals to become celibate through guilt or fear, and to push many others to suicide. Scientists have shown that homosexuality is an orientation that is unalterable. It's not a choice. There is a greater than 90% chance that you, the reader, are heterosexual. Think about how difficult it would be to feel sexually attracted to someone of your own sex and you will begin to understand how it is virtually impossible to create feelings that do not already exist. If it was a choice, as many proclaim, why would any intelligent person choose a way of life that exposes them to so much hostility, prejudice and discrimination? Hormones are responsible, not human choices. Are we Slaves to our Biology? Scientists know how to change the sexuality of rats and monkeys in the womb. Some groups claim that we can control our likes and dislikes by will or choice and they insist that we can all reverse park or read street directories with the same ease. But scientists know this is unrealistic. You don't need to be a scientist to see that rabbits can't fly, ducks are lousy runners, most women have difficulty reading maps and men reading newspapers are temporarily deaf. Understanding brain structure differences makes us more tolerant of each other and allows us to have greater control over our destiny and to feel positive about our inclinations and choices. Human intelligence has evolved to a point where we are more in control of our emotions than other animals and can think through our choices. Other animals don't think: they react to circumstances and this makes them slaves to their biology. Our biology is the motivations behind many of the choices we make that sometimes don't seem to make sense to us. So while we are more in control of ourselves than most other animals, we still can't completely buck the system. The biggest obstacle facing most people is their rejection of the idea that we are just another animal with a smart brain. This refusal makes these people victims of their biology. source. Barbara & Allan Pease Abstract from “why men don't listen & women can't read maps Well long story short, there are two important question here; 1. Is it Genetic or a Choice? If it is genetic, why do we have to criticize, force other on their sexual orientation? Isn’t that why we as humans have the right to make choice for ourselves 2. Can the 'Choice' Be Changed? If it can’t be changed why pretend it can be changed by placing a ban on it, when in reality it can’t, instead of allowing these people live happily like every other person. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

nnamdi640: Stop running around like a headless chicken, you mentioned WEST, so I clarified it for you. The point is clear, we are human and as human we can't be completely objective all the time, racial bias is ingrained in each and every one, only ROBOTS act objectively all the time, as far as Nigerians are concerned, I have never seen any other country more subjective with ethnic bias. We live in a world/country were this idea have lubricated our journey to success such that a deviation from this is seen as a betrayal of our very own core value system. This is not a debate about right and wrong, it's a fact, the few of us with objective views are seen as outcast, it's not surprising as some see it as a ploy to carry favour. Irrespective of your view you must agree, we have deviated from Rule-based-democracy to a more ethic-driven democracy. |
