What is homosexuality? Homosexuality refers to a kind of sexual behavior with the same sex as the object of satisfying sexual desire. The traditional view is that it belongs to sexual perversion. In the classification of mental disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association, before 1980, homosexuality was classified as sexual perversion, while after 1980, homosexuality was classified as sexual orientation disorder. According to its standards, most homosexuals do not belong to the category of mental disorders. Some people have studied the relationship between hormones and homosexuality, and found that testosterone in blood and urine of male homosexuals is lower than that of heterosexual control group, while sperm count is less and abnormal sperm is more, while testosterone in urine of female homosexuals is more than that of heterosexual control group. This seems to be understood as the relationship between homosexuality and hormone levels, but it also seems to be understood as the secondary changes in hormone levels caused by homosexual psychology and behavior. At the same time, the investigation of agitation level has the opposite result, so there is no way to discuss it further. There are three kinds of homosexuality: one is totally unacceptable to the opposite sex, so-called "pure homosexuality"; Second, you have sexual desire for both the same sex and the opposite sex, but you can't tell which is the main one and which is the secondary one. This is called "bisexuality"; Third, heterosexual people are basically heterosexual, and homosexual behavior only happens occasionally or under certain circumstances. More than 40 years ago, Kinsey conducted a survey of nearly 10,000 adults in the United States, and found that the total number of people who are pure homosexuals or mainly homosexuals reached 8%, and the absolute number was quite amazing. The survey reports of Holland, Germany and Britain only account for about 2%, so it can be considered that homosexuality was once a quite common phenomenon. Homosexuality exists under any social and cultural conditions. In the United States and western European countries, homosexuals can even set up associations, gatherings, publicly organize clubs and publish their own publications to promote gay views. Legalization of this behavior will inevitably lead to more homosexuals. It is generally believed that homosexuality is harmless to the body, but in most countries, homosexuality is regarded as an abnormal phenomenon and condemned by moral public opinion. Because they show a disharmony with the general social psychology and social order, homosexuals and other perverts seem to be particularly vulnerable to violence from others, often from people who fall in love with them. Many homosexuals are discriminated against by society and realize that they have sexual psychological problems, but they can't get rid of them, so they often fall into serious pain and contradictions, leading to psychological complications. Some pure homosexuals are forced to get married and start a family because their families don't understand, but they can't establish feelings after marriage, which often leads to family breakdown. Some homosexuals become "third parties" and play the role of destroying other people's families. Some are equivalent to general moral decay and are subject to judicial sanctions. In addition, no matter what kind of homosexuality, it affects fertility and racial continuity. Because gay sexual partners are not fixed, they are more likely to be infected with sexually transmitted diseases. In the United States, 4 19 gay men were investigated. Among them, 1.5% had asymptomatic gonorrhea, and 1% had signs of early syphilis. The damage was mostly in the oropharynx and rectum, which was not easy to be found, and it was easy to cause missed diagnosis, misdiagnosis and delayed treatment, and developed into late syphilis. Because of the specific way of homosexual sex, it often leads to proctoptosis, anal fissure and perianal abscess, and violent sex often causes damage to anus, rectum and genitals. In the United States and most parts of Europe, AIDS is spread by homosexuals. In the 1980s, it was found that gay men accounted for 73% of AIDS patients, and now12 gay men in the United States are infected with HIV. The spread of AIDS will undoubtedly bring extremely serious consequences to society. The so-called sexual orientation disorder is homosexuality, and these patients with sexual psychological disorders pursue the same sex as normal people rather than the opposite sex. How to recognize and treat homosexuality has always been a widely debated issue all over the world. For example, in ancient novels such as A Dream of Red Mansions, homosexuality is neither avoided nor severely reprimanded, which shows that this phenomenon is not uncommon. All cultures condemn and oppose this violation of ethical and moral standards. However, as early as 18 10, France decided that as long as it happened between adults of legal age, private and hidden homosexual activities were legal with the consent of both parties. In 1960s and 1970s, some European countries and some American states followed suit and passed similar laws. The American Psychiatric Association voted on 1974 to remove homosexuality from sexual dysfunction. The International Classification of Diseases 10 also abolished homosexuality. Generally speaking, it is a social phenomenon and an objective existence. The general trend of people's ideas is to adopt an open, tolerant and blind attitude. However, the fact that AIDS epidemic has become more common among gay people since 1980s has caused panic in western society for a time. Homosexuals have almost become street rats, and people are afraid to avoid them. At present, AIDS is spreading more and more among the opposite sex, so it is absolutely untenable to equate homosexuality with AIDS unilaterally or even think that AIDS is God's punishment for homosexuality. A major feature of homosexuality is that it is common in both upper and lower classes, and the incidence peak is at two extremes. Plato, Michelangelo and many other historical celebrities are homosexuals with high IQ. For another example, some scientists in Tsukuba Science City, Japan, worked around the clock in order to devote themselves to their careers, which led to family divorce and embarked on the road of limited spare time with same-sex couples. In the west, the incidence of homosexuality can reach 10%, even much higher in some cities, depending on social background and half life. Some people abroad regard people's sexual orientation consciousness as a continuum. At both ends of the continuum, they are completely gay and straight, in the middle, they are bisexual, and the rest are distributed in other parts of the continuum. Of course, people close to the completely heterosexual end account for the vast majority. Among homosexuals, 20% are mental homosexuals who never have sex, 35% have sex occasionally, only 65,438+05% have regular sex, and only a few have disorderly sex. Kinsey survey report shows that some men are completely gay from adolescence, and these people are difficult to be corrected and belong to lifelong homosexuality. Male "wives" and female "husbands" among homosexuals have more serious sexual psychological distortions, and they are mostly in a dominant position among homosexuals. Some people keep same-sex and opposite-sex sexual intercourse, which is called bisexuality. Some people have homosexual tendencies only at a certain period in their lives or in a certain environment, such as sailors on long voyages, soldiers in service or students in collective dormitories. This situation is called situational homosexuality. Some people have had occasional homosexual tendencies or sexual behaviors because of lovelorn love, broken marriage or other reasons, in order to seek emotional catharsis, which shows that these homosexuals are acquired and influenced by interpersonal and psychological factors. In addition, the influence of early childhood education is also very important. However, the cause of homosexuality is still unknown, and scientists have been trying to find the reasons from genetic material, hormone level, psychological factors, social and historical influences and so on. According to the papers reported in 199 1 World Congress of Sexology, it was found that the volume and cell number of supraoptic nucleus in the brain of homosexual patients increased, but this discovery needs further confirmation. Most homosexuals have good self-coordination ability. They don't admit that they are sick or ask doctors for help. Their sexual concept and self-feeling are consistent and do not need treatment. Some homosexuals have a lot of pressure on themselves. They lack good self-coordination ability, hate their own behavior, and are in serious self-blame and psychological conflict, which is very painful. Coupled with the pressure from society and relatives, they can seek medical treatment. Most of these people are men and few are women. The total number of female homosexuals is only about half that of male homosexuals. The treatment of homosexuality is very difficult. Don't be limited to the disease itself, but also see the influence of social or family background. We should reduce work pressure and encourage them to have normal communication with the opposite sex. Aversion therapy is a common treatment. It is very important to emphasize early prevention, especially in childhood, to receive scientific sex education and promote sound sexual psychological development, which is very important for their happiness in life.
