Do you think there's a link between parents not being intimate and homosexuality of their kids?

Question

Say your kids see two parents never sleep together (e.g. the kind of bad marriage / roommates arrangement - stay together "for the kids").

Do the children need to learn from their parents that intimacy? I don't just mean sex, obviously the kids shouldn't see that.

By intimacy i mean things like holding hands and touching, or sleepoing in the same bed - this is not a gay bashing or other baited question.

Answer 1

No l personally think that most gay people are probably born with those tendencies. In answer to your second question of course children need to see love between their parents in order to understand about a normal, loving and healthy relationship. Children are like sponges when they are growing up and they absorb whatever is around them. We all need to show love in order to teach it to our little ones. Hope this has helped.

Answer 2

To answer your first question no. I believe that homosexuality is something that occurs naturally despite experiences.

Your second question, yes. It's good for children to see two parents who love eachother and are affectionate with eachother. This way they can see for themselves an example of a healthy relationship and maybe they will have a greater likelihood of having heathly hetero or homosexual relationships in the future. This is called learning through observation.

Answer 3

I think sexuality is more a wiring issue in the brain. Eventually I think it will be discoverd that it is all an issue of early development or peri-natal hormones. Don't sweat it. Other than that on the intimacy issue, children must learn to be trusting and loving, no matter whom they choose as a partner.

Answer 4

Of course it always better to bring love into the home then to bring hate. We always have to remember that we are always setting and living by example for are kids! What ever your kids see that is what they are going to grow up to know and what will be manifested in there heart! Prov. 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the well spring of life. Tom Gardner of healing the wounded heart talks about in his book that: "there are many sources of programming during our early years, home and family are the primary seedbed that determines what kind of fruit we will produce for the rest of our lives. He is a pastor of a counseling ministry though the years he determined that the people who come to him for healing are hurt from childhood events that leave them feeling no good, to be an embarrassment,devastated,
humiliated and a feeling of worthlessness with no security or significance. The Bible confirms why we should watch what we say and do. Prov. 15:1. A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. James 1:19-20. My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. 1 Cor. 13:4-5. Love is patient, love is kind. It is not easily angered. Col. 3:8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger,rage,malice,slander,and filthy language from your lips.1 Thess. 4:3-6. It is God's will that you should be holy; that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. What you asked about homosexuality of course if a child is not told that it is a sin to use ones body in such a way then how is the child suppose to know it is not wrong?

Answer 5

Obviously the parents were very intimate 9 months before the little gay bugger was born. And they are born gay. I have seen little babies 6 months old who cried with a lisp. And I said to myself, this little screamer is gonna be one flaming fag.

Answer 6

There is no link. I can not remember seeing my parents being in any way loving to each other or for that matter loving to their children. They hated each other and slept in different beds. For myself I have no problems about being loving and showing that love to all my family.

Answer 7

I don't think so.

And for all you people that think the majority are BORN gay I think that in most cases someone "got to them" and confused them before they had developed their sexual identity.

Answer 8

No I do not think there is a link with these two things.

Answer 9

they will know theres no love or respect involved. thats all they need to see to have one horrible relationship after another

Answer 10

No, I don't think that it happens that way.
