Nope, her words. She was attempting to get across that the woman was happy in a longterm same-sex relationship. Then abruptly her attractions and desires changed. Her friends were trying to get her into counseling to maintain SSA. She wondered about it too. In any event, therapy did not change her; something else did, and to my knowledge, she has not really isolated a set of causes but just went with it. I have lost track of that situation, although I am aware of other similar ones.

But to address your question, no I did not use the term (and dislike in a negative context). Knowing Ms. Harris, I think she meant it in the way I suggested.

Was that World magazine’s choice of words, or yours? If yours, please do tell me what a “lesbian lifestyle” is. What style of life do all lesbians enjoy?

Do you think that “lifestyle” – a term which was used by anti-gay political activists in the 1970s in order to equate sexual orientation with “swinging” – is a term recognized in psychology?

The idea that people develop homosexual tendencies because of sexual abuse […] is “one of the easiest theories to falsify,”

The answer in the interview is perfect. It is surly not the normal way and not every sexual abuse is linked to homosexuality. (Like Toscano, which separated his abuse and his homosexuality and then there was healing for him. And before all had said: This is absolutly linked. And one other from Beyond Ex-Gay was with his father at Nicolosi for the first time and Nicolosi asked multiple times if there was a sexual abuse.)

But for information in general: It is not so, that a trauma after a sexual abuse (hetero or homo) can make someone recall bad situations and doing something similar? And i had read Gay Guise from a gay therapist. But there it is not much sexual attraction, more sexual lust.And some rare: A parcinson-client (Didier J., 47, father of two children, France) had taken pills with dopamin. As a side effect he had pathological gambling, cleptomanie, compusive homosexual lust (when my memory is OK, then primaly hypersexuality and men was esier to reache.) and three suizide attemps. For specialist hypersexuality (also with exhibitionism and pedophile) from these pills (i.e. Dopaminagonist Pramipexol (SIFROL)) is not new complication.And just out of curiosity: Homosexual behavior as sleep disorder. 🙂 Sleep and Sex: What Can Go Wrong?
