Hi Gilbert It is too early in the thread for you to get defensive, may be in a week or so will be fine. If you post or refer to a study, be kind enough to tell us which study. This has been your standard in the past, always asking for studies & facts. What are we to assume now: that you made up the number or there is no study or a bogus study or you are not consistent when you ask for studies of certain issues? I am not asking for research, just the name of the study being referred to and I will look it up myself. > George, are the authoritative conclusions of a professional Psychiatrist > wrong? > If you do not agree with his experience or his knowledge why don't you do > your research / > reading and post it on the web. It's easy to bash another professional's > opinion. I would still like to know which study came to the conclusion that "An average sexual contact of a homosexual through his/her life is about 100 DIFFERENT individuals." I am not bashing anyone's profession. This word 'bashing' is ill-used by a number of you on these forums. Any time someone raises a question or challenges something, it is called bashing. In this case, even if the 100 different individuals is true (and I really would like to see the study to know that), it does not mean normality should be narrowly defined in a quantitative way. What about a qualitative, responsibility and accountability based definition for normality? Regards, George
