What is the point of homosexuality?
« on: April 07, 2008, 05:12:17 PM »
I'm not seeking to bring up the,
it's unnatural because it has no point
idea - but rather, since nature HAS developed
homosexual behavior, what is it's purpose or
cause? Not some short term relief of sexual
needs, but long-term homosexual desires.

There has to be one.

My theory is that it may be that short term relief,
being accidentally made too strong.

It's curious, because like abstinence, or birth control
(for whatever reasons), it seems counter-productive
to the basic drive to spread ones own genetic offspring.

It's a mutation in the DNA.

Things like that don't NEED a point. What's the point of aspergers?

Hasn't everything? More or less.

I think it's an interesting topic.

Uhm...homosexuality is, I think, more prevalent than AS, no?
And, AS seems to involve patterns of reaction which can affect
non-reproductive issues. Thus, it could well be part of an improved
ability to focus in an area, something which is becoming more desirable,
in modern society. Yes, the drawbacks probably outweigh whatever
advantages there are, in general, but it's a movement across the
phenotype space into regions which show some possibility. I don't
see that as clearly, in the case of homosexuality.

No. Bisexuality makes sense.
And, homosexuality, post assisted
pregnancy, also does - but it existed long
before, and exists in other animals.

It's tedious though.

The number of discussions I had about this when I was still young and eager.  Now I can't be arsed really.

Homosexuality is there, who cares about it's purpose?  Won't change it, that's for sure.

But, it doesn't really aim to select out the
weakest. Still, it might be a cultural reaction
to overpopulation, built in. Hmm. I like that.

And, what DOES matter? It's only an internet
board.  :zoinks:

Certainly strikes me as more interesting a question
than some other things which come up. All questions
are good.

The internets matter.

Film and girls also.

Alcohol too comes under that list.

It doesn't necessarily have to get rid of the weakest, to be a natural reaction to overpopulation
i've seen studies on other animals (rats, i think), where more of them became gay, asexual etc when there were more of them

It's interesting to ME, because I've some small knowledge
about sexual models in genetic programming. Homosexuality
would be pointless there, I think. But, when I see a part of
nature which doesn't apply, I wonder where my models are
lacking.

Unlike you, I never was too obsessed with homosexuality.
So, I didn't have too many such discussions. I was busy talking
about King John.  :laugh:
