Homosexuals in Poland / Hands off (PETITION) [797]
Pawian, where are you? Please, Matyjasz, PGTX, other reasonable Poles, step in and restore my faith in Polish intelligence.
Tomek, I'm not gonna insult you but what you wrote was offensive and just plain wrong. It's a caveman correlation. Read some Aryeh Neier, he did extensive research on this area. Because you see homosexuality as an aberration, you just assume that they are 'deviant across the board'. Sean referred to porn above. Neier wrote on this topic too. After extensive research, he found that those societies with an abundance of porn had lower rates of sexual crime. Now, I know that there are other factors but I'm trying to keep it simple.
The following is from an article on the issue.
'It is important to distinguish homosexuality directed towards adults from that directed towards underage children. This allows us to see that adult-orientated homosexuals are no more likely to become sexually involved with children than are heterosexuals.
Surveys have identified few paedophiles amongst homosexuals: Westwood (1960) found less than 3% claiming to be interested in young people sexually -- which is not the same as actual sexual contacts.
About 12% of Westwood's sample had had contact after 18 years of age with boys of 16 or younger.
Seventy-six per cent of the men said they would not engage in homosexual activities with anybody under 17,
and 6% said that they felt free to engage in sexual activities with a boy of any age.
Another study showed that nearly half of the men convicted of sexually molesting boys were actually married at the time (Gebhard et al., 1965); less than a third preferred children sexually to older people. Using measures of sexual arousal to different sets of pictures, it was discovered that although heterosexual men were sexually aroused by pictures of girls rather than by those of landscapes, homosexual men were no more aroused by pictures of boys than landscapes (Freund, 1963).
In short, just knowing the nature of an adult's sexual involvement with children says little or nothing about their orientation to adult men or women'.
Sorry Mods, I see now that I have quoted more than the prescribed maximum. I hardly do this so don't worry. It is relevant and essential to my point.
Forgive me, please ;)
