    ""Genetics" seems to be a very hip new scapegoat for people not to be responsible for their own actions...

    It's pathetic.

    Horny females are women who have strong innate desires to couple with many different suitors. Based on the genetic predispostion they are more likely to screw around. And horny mice do the same, they keep gettin' humped.

    "Cheating" is a psychophysiologic problem if we must talk like Frued.

    The physiology is the desire
    The psychology is how it effects our functioning in society.

    A cheating wife causes as much distress as a drunk husband who doesn't go to work.

    The analogy king has spoken
    Your analogy is still is flawed.

    "Cheating" is a concept. Alcoholism isn't.
    The physiology is not the desire unless you are referring to the chemical process of one's hormones. Otherwise desire is mental.
    The psychology is the desire if anything.

    Stop bastardizing terms to fit your arguments. You take clearly theoretical science and say "it is".

    I like how you use what I said earlier

    One may then follow up on that desire. However one has the choice whether or not to do so. Not following up on the desire is not the point. You are no less an alcoholic, just because you don't drink.

    Someone can be an alcoholic for forty years and never take a drink. At least that is how Alcoholics Anonymous see it.
    An AA member told me also that if one desires to drink alcohol, they are an alcoholic.

    I think alot of what AA says is just to combat alcoholism on the mental level.

    I apologise for wasting your valuable time.
    Huh...wtf are you on about?

    Scientific research? Anecdotal evidence?

    Uh no. Very simply I view an alcoholic as a person who drinks alcohol excessively and/or is dependent on it.

    Common sense? In this case, maybe so as it coincides with it's very definition.

    Thanks for wasting my time.

    Jpaulism at it's best.

    Your debating technique? You mean Jpaulism?

    You just made a point about my post for nothing.

    Your point didn't even apply.

    Been there, seen it done by you countless times. Just as tiresome now as it was then.

    Stay anonymous.

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    correct.

    so if a chemical/hormonal..etc. imbalance in the body causes a change in behavior, why can't a natural imbalance of one or more chemicals/hormones..etc be a possible reason for why people are Gay/bi/heterosexual or more prone to cheating ?

    Gay/bi/heterosexual, no

    Cheating, the same as increased testerone makes one more prone to murder.

    Cheating is a concept based on choice.

    Increased sexual drive can be for your mate. We are driven to fuck by hormones. Cut a dude's nuts off and his drive drops considerably.

    Busy.

    What I believe vid is getting at is that if the sexual drive is of a higher level then it is more likely to be higher than that of your mate than if your sex drive was low.

    Having a higher sex drive would leading to the mate saying no to sex, on occasion.

    This may lead to sexual frustration which would make a person more inclined to cheat than a person who has all of his sexual desires met by his mate so is not sexually frustrated.

    Cheating is a choice but sexually frustrated horny men are more likely to make that choice than sexually content men.

    OK?
