rambling (wo)man

Last night, I went to a birthday party. We began discussing movies seen and recommended, books read, and TV shows watched and their new plot twists. I asked if anyone else had been watching Sheer Dallas on TLC. Since a couple of others had seen it, but missed Friday's episode, I filled them in on some of my favorite spots. For those who may not have seen it, each show highlights the activities of two or three people. This episode covered the participation of two hair dressers, one gay and one straight, in a gay rodeo. Now, I grew up in the midwest and had NEVER heard of a gay rodeo! Some of the action was just so funny, I almost fell off the couch from laughing!  Anyway.... The discussion of the gay rodeo led to a discussion on sexuality. (Don't look at me! I didn't start it!) Someone asked the men in the room why it's acceptable, even arousing, for heterosexual women to watch two women having sex with each other, but most heterosexual men find it uncomfortable to watch two men having sex with each other. There were various answers given, most of them thought provoking. Is it that women are socially trained to be more comfortable with intimacy being an expression of love? Is it that men have a genetic "urge" to procreate, so some men will view homosexual activity as "gut wrenching"? One comment made in support of this argument was the increase in adoptions by gay partners. I found the discussion to be very enlightening, so wished to put it out to this community. What are your thoughts? |
