Human beings are a part of nature. Therefore, all human sex occurs in nature. It's natural according to the definition RamFel provided.

So? Animals having sex has no bearing on human homosexuality.

No one is talking about (other) animals. We're talking about humans. Re-read what I said. Human beings occur in nature. This means that HUMAN homosexual sex is natural according to the definition provided.

So, of course humans can only perform natural acts by your reasoning?
 
Next time you get your info from wiki you should add a link so I don't have to find this...

By the 1950s in the United Kingdom, it was thought that about fifteen percent of male homosexuals had anal sex.[69][Full citation needed] More recent studies, The Gay Urban Men's Study (P.I. Stall, UCSF) and the Young Men's Study (YMS, PI Osmond/Catania, UCSF), indicate that 50% of the surveyed men who have sex with men engage in anal sex.[70][Full citation needed] [71][Full citation needed] The 1994 Laumann study suggests that 80% of gay men practice it and 20% never engage in it at all.[72] - Anal sex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You mite also want to use the studies of actual homosexuals. :lol:

Just wanted to add this from your source...

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), with information published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), states that two thirds of gay men have anal sex.[56] Other sources suggest that roughly three-fourths of gay men have anal sex at one time or another in their lives, with an equal percentage participating as tops and bottoms.[58] A survey in The Advocate in 1994 indicated that 46% of gay men preferred to penetrate their partners, while 43% preferred to be the receptive partner.[58] A survey conducted from 1994 to 1997 in San Francisco by the Stop AIDS Project indicated that over the course of the study, among men who have sex with men, the proportion engaging in anal sex increased from 57.6% to 61.2%.[73] - Anal sex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wrong. Most gay men do NOT engage in anal sex (not that there is anything wrong with it)....but if you look at sexuality surveys, oral sex is by far the most preferred sexual practice among gay men. For straights, oral sex is foreplay to intercourse, not so much in the gay community.

Well I looked at your source and saw you dishonestly left out a link so the real surveys would be left out that say 67% to 80% practice anal sex. This from your own source at wiki.

So I assume you want to take back your line of bull****? :lamo

It's not by my reasoning - it's by the definition of natural. Let's try to stick to that.

Let's not. Humans are exceptional and capable of unnatural acts...like homosexual intercourse.

You just admitted that you base your decisions on what you want to be true instead of actual definitions of what things are.

Humans engaged in homosexual acts before we became the dominant species on the planet.

No I did not. Stop putting words in my mouth.

Actually, that's exactly what you did.

Right. Let's not stick to the actual definition of natural and make stuff up instead. I'm not interested. You've seen the definition of natural and homosexual sex is natural according to it.
 
Actually, that's exactly what you did.

I'm not in the least bit interested in whatever dictionary version you are using. Humans are capable of unnatural acts, like homosexual intercourse.

Exactly. When most people ask "is X natural?", they go to a dictionary to find out what the definition of natural is and find out if X meets the definintion. You just make something up. That makes zero sense.

Why is there so much hate on dictionaries in this thread? At least two people now have said that dictionaries aren't reliable sources for definitions. :shrug:
 
Being the dominant species =/= exceptional.

You just want to believe homosexuality to be unnatural, and twist the definition to fit your view.

To be fair, he's not really "twisting" it - he's just making one up and disregarding the dictionary.
 
Being the dominant species =/= exceptional.

Do you know what the word "exceptional" means? Being the dominant species out of millions is pretty much the definition of exceptional.
 
I'm not in the least bit interested in whatever dictionary version you are using. Humans are capable of unnatural acts, like homosexual intercourse.

For the thousandth time...according to whom? Do you possess some credential that nobody's aware of in order to make that claim?

You are sounding as though it's FACT...and not opinion "once again".

Which is it?
