How would you define sexual immorality?
Do you think it is natural to suppress sexual desires?
What do you think determines someone's sexuality?
Why do/why don't you support gay marriage?
I have this theory that most people are naturally bisexual, just afraid to admit it. So have you ever been attracted to a member of the same sex? If you consider yourself straight, would you consider dating a member of the same sex, or would you consider that repulsive?
Sexual acts that harm others and acts without the consent of others involved.
Do you think it is natural to suppress sexual desires?
Yes, if they would harm people, make you act without their consent, or if you are uncomfortable with an consequences of that act.
What do you think determines someone's sexuality?
Genes, conditions in the womb, upbringing.
Why do/why don't you support gay marriage?
I do for liberty and equality.

Is that because your bisexual?
If I am allowed to ask that, lol. I'm not properly attracted to females like males, but little bits in some ways, which I'm not going to go into detail about XD
I can imagine that most people are in-between completely straight and completely gay.

"I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!"
I believe what Jesus said, which is that sexual activity should occur only between married partners. That said, there are obviously differences in immoral acts. Adultery is bad, but not as bad as rape or pedophilia.
Do you think it is natural to suppress sexual desires?
Yes. To me it seems obvious that everyone must suppress his or her desires to some degree. If we acted on every single desire we felt, many of us couldn't even walk down the street without doing something inappropriate.
What do you think determines someone's sexuality?
I do not claim to know the answer. Presumably innate traits, social surroundings, and personal decisions all play some role. I can't be any more specific than that.
Why do/why don't you support gay marriage?
I do not support it because I believe that traditional Christian marriage is the social arrangement best suited to producing a stable, happy society. As I wrote on my blog here, there's evidence that normalizing both gay marriage and other arrangements such as polygyny leads to bad social consequences, ranging from higher crime to lower status for women.

I consider myself entirely straight and have never experienced sexual attraction to another man. I do believe that love comes in many forms, of which eros is only one. I think that in earlier times there were avenues whereby a pair of men (or a pair of women) could express affection for each other without everyone assuming that it was about sex. Those things have now large vanished, which I view as a bad development.
Do you think it is natural to suppress sexual desires?
Denying the Id what it wants whenever it wants it is technically unnatural. If a person only followed his Id, he would exist only to gratify the flesh. Nothing else would matter but the flesh.
What do you think determines someone's sexuality?
I think a person's sexuality is pre-wired into their brain at birth.
Why do/why don't you support gay marriage?
I don't think it's any of my business if gay people marry each other. Live and let live!

You'll never know for sure, will you?

Can a straight guy have the occasional gay thought?
If you consider yourself straight, would you consider dating a member of the same sex, or would you consider that repulsive?
Given the choice between a guy and a girl, I'd definitely choose the girl.

I do think it is natural to supress sexual desires.
Genetics determine someone's sexuality.
I don't support gay marriage, because marriage has always been defined as one man and one woman; however, I do support giving gay couples equal rights as straight couples.
I don't find other men sexually attractive, therefore no I don't think most people are bisexual. I would not date anyone of the same sex, as I only find women sexually attractive.

Yes, if they would harm people, make you act without their consent, or if you are uncomfortable with an consequences of that act.

I guess I would call myself bisexual. I've tried to deny it, because I'm afraid that people will judge me.
I like your definition of sexual immorality.
I have a hard time understanding why sex outside of marriage is wrong. Does Jesus ever actually state that it is wrong?
I understand how certain things could be considered immoral, but what about sex between a couple, before they are married? Why is that wrong?

Well I hope they don't XD

And does marriage even mean anything these days?
Thanks. That is just my strict definition of what it might mean for it to be immoral. If I had to advise though I would probably say it is generally better to be done between a couple. I think marriage means something, to me at least. I want to get married some day.

In its most general form, any immorality that has a sexual component.

That depends on the desires. Desires to have sex with children, animals, and the non-consensual? Yes, those desires should be suppressed. Desires to have sex with a consenting adult, whatever their sex or gender? No, there's no reason that such desires should necessarily be suppressed (though confounding factors may necessitate it, of course).
So, it depends.

Primarily genetics/biochemistry, with a heavy dollop of culture.

Marriage is a public declaration of love and commitment, at its base a social contract made by two parties who're in love. As that's the most basic concept of marriage, and nothing in it precludes gay marriage, I support the right for gay people to get married. Or, rather, if a straight married couple gets legal benefits, so should a gay married couple.
With regards to paedophilic and bestial marriages, one needs to understand and give informed consent to be a part of this declaration of love, which excludes minors and non-humans. Only consenting adults can actually make the contract, so only they can get married.

I disagree with that assessment: There's no part of me that desires sexual relations with a woman. A great loss to the fairer sex, I'm sure, but you gals just don't rustle my jimmies .

To answer the converse, I've considered, but rejected, the idea of dating someone of the opposite sex, and the idea of having intercourse with such a person is, to me, repulsive.
