Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2013/Sexual orientation

Comments
Hey! found a pretty interesting reference you might find useful. It talks about "Reparative Therapy" which may change sexual orientation. The reference states that through this therapy it is possible. Quite controversial so could be an interesting point to look more into! Here's the reference if you wanted to have a look: https://www.stolaf.edu/people/huff/classes/Psych130F2010/LabDocuments/Spitzer.pdf Thegrounav (discuss • contribs) 11:33, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm doing the topic 'Motivation and relationships'. I wanted to get your permission to put a link on my page to yours, i thought it was relevant as i was only researching hetrosexual relationships. Thanks. U3049223 (discuss • contribs) 11:30, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Lovely to see someone is doing a book chapter on this topic :) I'm all for equality so I like that you're focusing on all types of sexual orientation!! I believe it is quite hard for some people going through puberty and realizing there may be something "different" about them compared to the majority of people they come across.. It might be an idea to include some links so people know who to talk to if they are going through this themselves. I found this kids helpline website which has some numbers to call if people need help, it might be nice to include it in your book chapter :) http://www.kidshelp.com.au/teens/get-help/who-else-can-help/helpful-links/sexual-orientation.php Good luck with your chapter :) EmmaP (discuss • contribs) 14:52, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Epigenetics and the manifestation of homosexuality
http://scitechdaily.com/homosexuality-might-develop-in-the-womb-due-to-epigenetic-changes/ In my opinion, this is the most promising hypothesis for those that support or lend more credence to the "biology" side in the nature vs. nurture argument of the causes of different sexual orientations. Might be useful or interesting. U3054911 (discuss • contribs) 05:20, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Other types of sexual orientation
Hi there, I'm doing the topic on how to get more sex (sexual motivation), so naturally I was interested in checking out your page!

After looking at your chapter headings I realised that some of the content I was planning to include might be better under your page instead. For example I was going to look at Pansexuality and Polyamorous relationships, eg. are there sexual motivations behind engaging in poly relationships, how do people who engage in 'gender blind' relationships (pansexual's) differ from monogamists, etc. I may briefly touch on poly relationships in my chapter, but I think including Pansexuality would increase the scope and be a bit off topic for me. I definitely think it's something that should be touched on in your chapter though, in order to include people who are transgendered and intersex. Also, because of the current changes in ACT legislation on same sex marriage, those who are transgendered and intersex fall into a black hole, so I think it's quite topical and important to include.
