Whether a man uses physical force or emotional coercion to force sex, sex without consent is still considered rape in our society.

Readers may speculate that this creation may have been brought about by experiences beginning at birth. In the infant, the libido supposedly first manifests itself by making the act of ... sucking the thumb an activity with pleasurable sensations in the mouth.

I find this to be an acceptable definition of coersion as it relates to sexual situations, although I feel strongly that under no circumstance can coersion constitute rape, once the coerced has consented to full physical acceptance of sexual advances. Although coersion can be exercised through many different approaches, ...

- ... Amendment 2] bars gay men, lesbians and bisexuals from having an effective voice in governmental affairs, insofar as those persons deem it beneficial to seek legislation that would protect them from discrimination based on their sexual orientation. The United States Supreme Court must now determine whether or not to uphold the Colorado Supreme Court's decision, despite the results of the referendum that was basically a public affirmation of orthodox Christian ... hundreds of years homosexuality has been uniformly condemned by traditional Christian societies as immoral. On that ground, it was never contested that sodomy should remain illegal and unprotected by any legislation-- homosexuals were considered unnatural sexual deviants, and were treated as such. In recent years, however, startling new research has indicated that homosexuality is possibly inherited and determined by chromosomes. A 1992 study directed by neuroscientist Simon LeVay showed that a tiny area believed to control sexual activity known as the hypothalamus was less than half the size in gay men as in heterosexual men. This study raises an interesting question: If homosexuality is hereditary, is there any basis for societal ...
