Just a thought about homosexuality...

I could be WAY off base here but here goes...

It is known that the male sex chromosome is shrinking and will eventually disappear. In otherwords, males will fail to exist, leaving the female with no means to reproduce.

In a thread in P&N, apparently there has been a discovery of some DNA that seems to be linked to homosexuality.

I'm just wondering if there might be a possibility that homosexuality and the shrinking of the male sex chromosome are linked. Maybe homosexuality could somehow be the bridge to enabling females to reproduce once males disappear.

Both female and male homosexuals tend to exhibit a more androgenous behaviour and I wonder if androgeny is the human of the future.

I call BS. Where's your evidence? Male humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and male animals have been around for millions. We still make up 50% of the population.

you mean 49% of the population.

and they are already working and succeeding with female asexual reproduction.

Here's the first link I found (I'll post others)... it's not really proof, but what I'm saying is not BS.

Errrr... where's the link?

I've never heard of such a thing but you may be onto something should your information be correct.

Does this mean I could chryogenically freeze myself for 150-200 years or so, then sell myself on eBay for like $100,000,000,000 (inflation and everything)?

actually that is later proven false. yes i know theres a book on it..i even read it. its a politically titilating idea.. but its no longer accurate.

Yep.

The Y chromosome getting smaller is not evidence that we're moving to some sort of asexual means of reproduction. Doing it with technology is a different story.

even if there is evidence it is shrinking that doesnt mean its going to dwindle to nothing

the average weight of an nba player is 10 lbs more than it was 10 years ago. do you think that means in 100 years we will have nba players that weigh 325?

the world record for 100 M dash is consistently getting broken. do you think that means eventually people will be able to do it in 1 second?

basically, its natural for things to behave cyclically.

I didn't say that we were going to become asexual, I'm just throwing out ideas here. The Y chromosome is shrinking and will eventually disappear in about 10 million years (according to what I've heard).

Maybe the sex a person takes will no longer be the result of an XY chromosome pair, but rather just a string of genes on an XX chromosome.

Man, if you're a man and want to suck dick then just do it and be happy.....but don't try and find ways to justify it to the other 95% of the people who don't share your views on sexuality.
