Is hetrosexuality compulsory?

Has the West created a fallacy, that hetrosexuality is normative? Are we in reality naturally androgenous?

Androgyny is separate from sexual orientation. It can either be physiological, or it can be a matter of gender identity.

Edit: By the way, what is this doing in the Spirituality Forum?

Biologically many would agree that we are an adrogenous species....gender is a matter of identity and that is enforced through categories of society not through natural selection....As I asked earlier are we androgenous is hetrosexuality part a social normativity?

Why would you ask that, you don't think sex has anything to do with
man's spiritual side?

I have never made that connection. Do you think it does? But even if it does, Vladimir's question didn't seem to be about a possible spiritual aspect of sex. There are many things I can think of which can have a spiritual component, for example music or the aurora borealis, both of which I have posted about here in a spiritual context. But I wouldn't discuss music or the aurora here if I were not specifically referring to the spiritual aspect of it.

I would contend that "life" has something to do with spirituality (or spirituality has something to do with life). I think we obsess about the sexual aspect due to the rather black and white nature ot it, in the sense of what is normative. This, I predicate upon the notion that the masses equate normative with spiritual (in the most general sense, non denominational).

The only way that sex is spiritual is in the sense of tantric sex or 'true' lovemaking...

and no Nordlys I won't show you, you got to stop asking me that 😉
