I was going to say, one person could be male, the other female, then it would be viewed as somewhat normal.

but you are commenting on an article that doesn't say that masturbation on its own
leads to homosexuality, it states that if a person seeks to masturbate with another
person it frequently leads to homosexual acts

The article doesn't say that 'masturbating with another person frequently leads to homosexual acts', it says it frequently "leads into" homosexuality. I personally believe that if a person is a homosexual they should be free go right ahead and find a partner for "mutual sex play" if that is what they want to do, although the details of what they do is none of my business.

Sorry, I just don't understand the hangup. The homosexuals I know value and maintain committed relationships. They're certainly not ashamed of who they are, and I see no reason why they should be.

Atheists dont need to follow the guidelines in the Bible or any religions book for that matter. Religious people do so thats why all religions consider homosexuality to be shameful. Of course thats up to the individual.

Agreed.

Just a point. The Bible clearly says that sex is only allowed between a man and a women after marriage.
No other forms of sex are permitted by God. If one does not has a normal sexual relations with his wife or husband then it is against God's designs for humans. If one is having sex with themself, is that not a homosexual act?

So you'd support an end to legal or institutional discrimination against homosexuals?

You're citing something someone said at sometime or other - that's in agreement with what you think - as 'evidence'?

I'm serious. You've been married for how long and have never done this with your wife?!

Yes. I will still consider it sinful but they should be allowed to life their lives like anyone else.

This is not how homosexuality is defined. I think the word you're looking for is 'masturbation'.

How does one have sex with himself.
Masturbation is definitely not 'sex with oneself'. Thats nonsense.
Sex with one self is only possible with a hermaphrodite.
