When sexuality is the bottom line, even after all
that evolution and revolution that we undergone throughout ages, homosexuality
remains viewed by many as taboo-like.
As far as sexual awareness concern, there would usually employ the
terms heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual.
Heterosexual is that person that feels attracted by
the opposite sex. Bisexual is when the person, man or woman,
enjoys taking the most out of both sexes and finally Homosexual
is whoever feels attracted by same sex individuals.
Historically, homosexualism was common practice in
the ancient Greece and Rome. Interestingly commenting that at the time there
was no such a thing as bias. Certain emperors, philosophers, members of aristocracy
and even of forces were adepts of such practice. The philosopher Socrates
was homosexual and used to consider this type of relationship a mode
of heightened inspiration among the thoughtful men, arguing that the heterosexual
relationship would serve only for procreation purposes.
The relationship between homosexuals takes place in
the very same way of heteros and bisexuals. It is a relation where
kisses, caress and tenderness exist, there is foreplay and might as well penetrative
sex come into play, however not obligatory. If anal sex with
penetration comes to be the case as in male homosexuality, there is
the active-role (whoever does penetrate), and the passive-one (he who gets
penetrated). Such names seem currently going out of date to borderline-choice.
Such roles can suffer alternation, in other words, are not fixed
although some same sex individuals reportedly their preferences regarding
penetration. With regard to same sex females, otherwise known as lesbians,
some may even resource on artifacts that substitute the penis. Many reported
having preference towards oral sex and using fingers and hands for sex-linked
pleasure.
Back to the razzmatazz, homosexuality as taboo occurs
in detriment of various variables that actuate directly and indirectly upon
human sexuality. I'm talking about values that go along with the individual
throughout his life.
I mean even in these days and age there is still people who
learn, along their upbringing, to look or regard this type of relation as
an aberration or detraction of nature, a character trait, a disease- currently
no longer considered as pathology, despite having so- appeared during years
in the International Code of Diseases - CID. These people don't accept
homosexuality and tend to overact with prejudice that might translate
itself in form of fear- homophobia, repudiate, sometimes violence.
To the best of my knowledge such bias is the net result of social
hypocrisies that prefers/seems to enjoy camouflaging certain aspects regarding
human sexuality. In other words, any choice that someone makes with regards
to his sex, consequently regarding his own sexuality belongs to oneself hence
private. Therefore, it is not down to anybody to pass on judgment, lasting
only respecting.
