<p>I agree about the clinics that purport to cure homosexuality.

But our bodies are mostly wired to insure continuation of species, which would explain why we mostly act heterosexual, at least around the prime childbearing ages.
However, I think sexuality is a spectrum, and we move along the spectrum as we go through life depending on what is happening inside & outside us at the time.</p>
<p>I understood asexuality to be uninterested in sexual contact. Instead of being interested or repulsed by tales of sexuality, rather just completely uninterested.</p>
<p>My daughter for instance has anosmia. It means she has no sense of smell.
But people still stick things under her nose for her to smell.
She just smiles and nods.
She isnt interested in smells, she doesnt understand them. But do I just accept that, and dont look for a cause or a cure of her anosmia?
Is it just the way she is made, or can her health be improved by figuring out and treating the cause?</p>
<p>I believe people when they say they are asexual. Even if they are 20 & are adamant that they always will feel the same way they do now.
Will they believe * me* when I say I know people who were equally asexual at 20, but were homosexual at 25 and were heterosexual at 30? Perhaps it is about what is going on inside & outside that counts.</p>
<p>Twenty yrolds need to learn to be broader minded, and accept that life is fluid and pronouncements made today, may be rescinded next week.</p>
