Your question had me agreeing with you right up until you made the Biblical reference, and then you lost me. I am a heterosexual female. While I can appreciate the internal and external qualities of women, I’m not physically or sexually attracted to them, nor would I want to explore my sexual options just to ‘find out’ what it’s like to be with a woman rather than a man. I agreed with your observation that many females nowadays seem to be experimental in their sexuality, and THAT, I think, is indicative of a greater sense of ‘gender liberation,’ in which many people do not feel as constrained by rigid gender roles and explore their options because they CAN, not necessarily because they affiliate with ONE orientation or the other. The Biblical reference, however, made me question whether your query was hinting at the ‘Rightness’ and ‘Wrongness’ of sexual orientation, in which case I’d have to change my answer to reflect my opinion that hetero/homosexuality is not something governed by trends or choice, but rather, something one knows intrinsically to be ‘true’ of him/herself.

If your argument is based on natural selection, you have to understand that the evolution of a species takes thousands, even millions of years. Most species don’t even last for millions of years, so your point is moot. You can’t ‘breed’ a man to have a larger penis just because he is oppressed as a slave. Besides, if your argument were ‘true’ as you put it, then slaves would have had to be fed, housed and treated well above the standards that they experienced from their white slave-owners in order to ‘produce’ such genetically favorable results in physical strength and stamina.

I had my menarche at age 11 and the thing that confused me was the dichotomy between my parents’ reaction of their youngest child having made the ‘passage into womanhood’ and MY reaction to this newfound experience as a PAIN and inconvenience. Since then, however, I’ve become more aware of the changes that occur in me, both physically and emotionally, when I’m expecting it. I notice I’m really susceptible to getting sick when my period is approaching. My immune system becomes really weak, but the corollary is that my sensitivity to other things increases, so I’m more aware and in tune with other aspects of my life. Like Erin, I’m more sexually expressive during the entire course of my period, excluding those times when I get unbearable cramps. I get offended by the barrage of advertisements that sell women the message that we ought to keep the issue of menstruation hush-hush because it’s our ‘dirty little visitor’ – to the point that they use that irritating blue fluid for pad commercials. No one would ever be embarrassed to talk about a men’s issue like ‘jock itch’ with such shame and ambiguity, so why should we? It is my steadfast belief that if men could experience just ONE period like we do, then the world would be a VERY different place.

I come from a mixed ethnic background as well, and find that I can be attracted to almost any nationality or ethnicity of man, but my experience has led me to be approached by a majority of black men vs. white or Asian or “other.” Consequently, I’ve had more relationships with black men because I assume (and perhaps I shouldn’t) that I am not considered attractive to white and Asian and “other” men.
Everyone has his or her personal preferences in terms of what they consider attractive. Maybe your preference just happens to be Caucasian. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar – I don’t think you have to necessarily analyze your dating choices as a subconscious indication of any Oedipal/Electra complexes you have about your father.
