Stary Wylk: Where I live, near a state university, it’s common for teenage girls to decide that they are lesbians. For a while. Ones I have seen like to make sure you can see them making out.
Then, we have the “lipstick lesbians” who blow guys for free in the parking lots of bars and sometimes become pregnant. Gee! How’d that happen?
RL: Yeah, but all those LUG’s and lipstick “lesbians” were BORN THAT WAY. LOL come on.
You know what LUG means?
EPGAH: No, I hereby ask what it means, fully aware I will probably regret it.
LUG = Lesbian Until Graduation! See Stary Wylk’s description above.
I guess those LUG’s were “born that way” too? They were genetically programmed to be straight until college, take four years off to eat pussy to see what it tastes like, then graduate and become strictly dickly once again. Right. My, genes work in funny ways!
Keep in mind that that those LUG’s “were born that way” though, and once they went lez in college, Gay Politics says they were “permanently gay” and “born that way,” and it’s illegal to try to change them. Except they change themselves right after they graduate. Whoops! Better take that theory back to the drawing board!*
Lesbianism and female bisexuality is very hard to understand. A lot of women seem to move all over the sexual landscape. They get married for a while, get divorced, fall in love with a woman and automagically become “lesbians” who were “born that way” and can’t be fixed. If they can’t be fixed, how were they married for many years?
Anne Heche was Ellen DeGeneres’ lesbian girlfriend for years and during this time she identified as a lesbian, was apparently “born that way” and could not be fixed. Except she fixed herself by leaving Ellen, falling in love with a man and marrying him. By the way, Heche no longer identifies as a lesbian. So I guess she wasn’t “born that way” after all. And I guess she could be fixed as she fixed her own self quite easily. I assume a scientific conversion therapy would have been even quicker.
The problem is that there do seem to be real biological lesbians. I have met a couple of them, a young teenage girl and a young man aged 25. Both were very boyish and one was very good at computers. Both identified as 25-75 on my scale. Maximal gay, straight 50% of max. But one told me that she identified as lesbian as she could only fall in love with a woman and men were just for fun. Sort of like those cameras that you use once and throw them away.
They both told me, “I have always always known I liked girls.” In other words, they have always known that they were lesbians. The early recognition which resembles what biological gay men report along with the very boyish or mannish looks implies that these women may indeed be biological lesbians.
Then we have the LUG’s, the Anne Heches and all over the other Female Sexual Orientation Explorers who seem to wander hither and thither all over the Sexual Orientation Map. It seems labels are not quite for them. It does not seem likely that these women born any particular way, and they most certainly were not “born gay.” Instead, women have more of a tendency to be sexual wanderers, fluidly drifting all over the place.
This lines up with studies in the lab that have shown that female sexuality is “polymorphously perverse,” to repeat a once common phrase. In other words, females simply get turned on by everything! Female react sexually at high levels to slides of straight sex, gay sex, lesbian sex, naked men, naked women and scenes of animals having sex. If they would have shown them pictures of minors aged 7-17 of both sexes, I think they might have even reacted to them. In other words, everything turns them on!
Female sexuality is the equivalent of a spray and pray automatic rifle. It simply explodes out into the world reacting to all sorts of things of all sorts around it, attaching to this object and then that object seemingly randomly. Nonetheless, other studies show women reacting mostly heterosexually, with only ~6% of women leaning gay and only 1% of women fully gay. However, women do seem to be more bisexual than men. Fully 1/2 of all women have some attraction towards other women, and only 50% are completely straight. Nevertheless most women, like most men, seem to be biologically wired up to be straight, with ~94% of all women leaning straight.
