Does an individual have to participate in sex to be a fully sexual person?

I think it depends on the person. That being said, I don't think that someone else should decide how one person expresses his or her sexuality - rather, leave it up to that individual to decide what is "sex" (since people have differing definitions of the word) and whether or not he or she wants to participate in it.

What do you mean by fully sexual? People can usually (psychiatry) be divided into one of four groups. Heterosexual, homosexual (both gay and lesbian), bisexual and asexual.

Let me ask it this way. Can a person live a celibate life and still possess sexuality?

Were men and women designed to have sexual relations with members of their own sex?

Designed? No.

Don't look now, but your theism is showing.

Besides, just ask any gay man if tab P doesn't fit very nicely in slot A. He'll tell you all about it, if you're up for it.

I think you confuse sex (and its many different aspects) with the procreative process. If one is able to kiss, touch, caress, fondle, lick, suck, masturbate, etc. a partner then it seems one is able to have sexual relations with members of the same and opposite sex. One simply can�t get pregnant by a member of the same gender and that is really the only difference. I doubt any homosexual person would say they aren�t fully capable of having sexual intercourse with their same sex partners. And if gay men are correct the stimulation of the prostate through the anus is very pleasurable and would seem a part of the �design.�

You'll have to ask God.

And we already know what HE says on the topic

Talk about design Brighid, why do you think it is that females can bend over much better than males?
