Talk:Sexual norm

message: "There is much hypocrisy about sexual behavior in all directions."
"...far more common than these societies are willing to acknowledge."
"A large part of present social unrest in both Eastern and Western cultures is due to this conflict between these two trends, and views upon acceptability and control of social and sexual norms."
Almost none of this article is sourced at all and it's heavily POV. Someone who knows something about this, please fix it quickly. Vesperal 07:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

message: As in everyday usage, the article consistantly confuses the two primary meanings of the words "norm" and "normal."  "Normal" means following a norm or a standard.  "Normal" can also mean average.  They are not the same thing.  We can imagine a society where some chemical mutagen causes everyone to be born with one or more deformities.  Even if such a people had no access to another society, thinkers among them could develop an idea of what normal, healthy people should look like by creating an ideal chimera based on the best examples available to them, a chimera based on simmetry and made up, for example, of the best working hands and legs.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.19.29.203 (talk) 12:33, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello, I made an edit that some people might be confused by, so I thought to document the reason here (I do not know of a more appropriate place to do so, if one exists, please inform me of such). You can find the edit here .
I removed "homosexual and bisexual" from this list of so-called behaviors that are suppose to be fairly hidden from society, and doesn't fit in the "norm", as the title of this article properly suggests. First, we must take the up-most care when we start to label people by relations that vary by gender. Is a male having relations with a woman any different then having relations with another male on the grand scheme of things? Are they both behaviors? If we label homosexuality a particular behavior, then does heterosexuality include itself as a behavior? Does a preference in genitals define what is and isn't a behavior? I think not. Homosexuality is not a behavior. If it individual has sexual relations with a member of their own gender, must we practice social ostrication by labeling it as some sort of behavioral characteristic? 
The article goes on to say that certain "behaviors" are hidden from the public forums. It states that masturbation, pre-marital sex, etc are quite frequent behaviors. With that said, homosexuality is not quite as common (we've already dis-proven it as a "odd" behavior) as the others. The Department of Health and Human Services estimates the gay and lesbian population to make up about 9 million people . That comes out to about 3% of the entire population. I would consider the other behaviors to be much better placed, such as the so called behavior of pre-marital sex, with 75% of individuals under the age of 20 having had sex before they are formally married .
All in all, I believe that the inclusion of homosexuality and bisexuality in the list to be misplaced, seeing as it is neither a so called behavior nor that frequent of an occurrence. I would also advise that the article be re-worded to not place certain activities in a bad light, as it seems to do with pre-marital sex.
