The other day there was something
on the news that caught my attention; there was this report about girls that
are barely in their teens exploring their sexuality. Now I thought this was
interesting ESPECIALLY since I learn about a new term in the sexuality dictionary called HETEROFLEXIABLE. This simply means that a STRAIGHT individual who is
has/or is not opposed to having sexual relations with the same sex. This type
of sexual behavior is PREDOMINANTLY found in straight females who enjoy making out with other females. BUT IS THIS REALLY NEW…MORE
IMPORTANTLY WHO IS THE BLAME? It is believed that the
female’s sexual behavior is more influenced by cultural, situational AND even
educational factors. So given that today there is more visibility of same-sex
behavior, its likely there is an increase in young women experimenting with
same sex behavior and talking openly
about their experiments. It has certainly always been true that teen girls are
quick to pick up on the latest fads. Yet it seems that NO one
give one ounce of concern about young girls today following Miley Cyrus as long
as she doesn’t sing about sexuality which is a NORMAL thing @
that stage of anyone’s life. I applauded Katy for singing this song; moreover I
LOVE the fact that it is a HUGE hit. This shows us that there is
NOTHING unhealthy about a female exploring HER femininity. ISN’T IT INTERESTING HOW ANY
OTHER LABEL OTHER THAN HETEROSEXUAL DISTRESSES THE MASSES? Labels are such a BIG thing in our culture and before a child is born, everyone wants to know
if it's going to be a boy or girl ASSUMING that their sexuality
will be what the world says it should. But life works in a way that what we
think should happen doesn’t always go according to that ideology. So the CONSTANT worrying about a person’s sexual orientation is an exercise in futility.
Monitoring OR noticing signs of GAYNESS should just be seen as a NORMAL part of
finding out about the sexual-self. Puberty is already a time of turbulence. Traditionally,
we've tried to get a handle on human sexuality by trying to fit everything into
just a few simple categories, but it will NEVER be that simple. Katy
Perry’s song just shows us that we NEED to rediscover the TRUE human
development. I GET
THAT THIS IS SCARY, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE THINK OF THEIR KIDS AS HETEROSEXUAL;
& ANY DIVERGENCE IS DAUNTING, EVEN FOR THE MOST LIBERAL OF US. BUT MORE
& MORE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS, BECAUSE THE VARIOUS TYPE OF
SEXUALITY IS WAY TOO IMPORTANT TO BE CAST ASIDE & OVER LOOKED BY THE HETERO
WORLD.
WOW! Very well put TGK! Umm . . who's big idea was it to invent yet another word to describe something other than heterosexual? HeteroFELXIABLE?? Are you kidding me. Geez! We humans really need to get it together, you think?
