Physical Attraction

This last weeks discussions in Family Relations we talked about "falling in love" and if you truly love someone or if you're just focused on one thing that makes you feel good. Can you actually talk to your boyfriend/girlfriend rather than just touching each other and having a great physical relationship? People get so excited when someone touches them because it makes them feel like they know the other person better even if they actually do not know hardly anything about that person. And it's very true. Ever since I learned this I've been paying atention more to how people touch each other and how it affects the other person or vice versa. I've noticed it in my own life that when someone caringly touches my shoulder while saying something to me I feel closer to them even if I don't know them personally in any close way. It's frustrating to have those feelings, yet it's very comforting when you already do know them well.... I just wish those feelings didn't come up with practically strangers. :/

Homosexuality

   Ah, this week was so intense! Yesterday's discussion we talked about how people call themselves "gay" and why they get those feelings in the first place. It's not that anyone is born gay. NO ONE IS BORN GAY. The reasons people get those feelings at all are because of phycho-social enfluences. No one is biologically homosexual in any way, they either get peer pressured in some kind of way from someone or they may be mullested and realized they "liked" it or they just want intimacy. For example, if a boy never had a father or had a good relationship with their father they lacked that intimacy with their Father. And so men are foriegn to them and they want to explore it.
   Just like having lustful thoughts, having premarital sex, or watching pornography, having homoesexual feelings and acting on those feelings is just like those others. It's wrong and a sin and you need to stay away from those feelings. And yes some people have a harder time dealing with that temptation more than others, but some people have a harder time dealing with resisting drugs and smoking temptations than others. But no matter what it is we need to resist those feelings.

Interracial Marriage's

This week's discussions and readings really intrigued me... I thought it was interesting how some interracial marriages work better than others in general. And I love how mexican/white marriages seem to work better than all of the other ones. But of course this is all a generalization because you can never know how it is with everyone who experiences it.... which is the downside of research on people... you never can say, for example: "Mexican's are all illegal immigrants." Yes, there are some that are, but there are also some that are not. Everyone is different in they're OWN way no matter what race or sex you are. We are all unique.
